00:03 Kelly Rowland is applauding Jay-Z
00:06 after he stands up for his wife, Beyonce.
00:09 The Destiny's Child star reacts to Hova's speech
00:12 at the 2024 Grammys when he threw some major shade
00:16 at the recording academy for failing to recognize Beyonce
00:20 for Album of the Year, despite being the most decorated
00:24 artist in the award show's history.
00:26 Kelly tells Entertainment Tonight,
00:28 "Sean Carter is one of the greatest men I know,
00:31 "and his words ring so loud to me."
00:34 She adds, "I couldn't be more proud of him,
00:37 "and I'm just really happy for a lot of things that he said.
00:41 "I think that he made a lot of artists feel very seen
00:44 "and very heard in those minutes that he took on stage."
00:48 The 42-year-old goes on to gush over Bey,
00:51 explaining, "I feel like she is an icon,
00:53 "and that's for a reason.
00:55 "It's because she starts trends.
00:58 "She is innovative, her thoughts are big and bright,
01:00 "and she just jumps for them and does it.
01:03 "I think that her albums are a reflection of that,
01:06 "and it should be really celebrated in that way.
01:08 "I've seen the blood, sweat, and tears
01:11 "that she puts into these projects,
01:13 "and her thoughts and her heart
01:14 "and her passion and her soul."
01:16 Jay-Z shocked the crowd with comments he made
01:19 while accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award
01:22 at the Grammys on February 4th.
01:24 With his daughter Blue Ivy by his side,
01:26 the rapper took the moment to call out the music community
01:30 for snubbing his wife.
01:32 I don't wanna embarrass this young lady,
01:33 but she has more Grammys than everyone
01:35 and never won Album of the Year.
01:37 So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work.
01:40 Think about that.
01:43 Most Grammys, never won Album of the Year.
01:45 That doesn't work.
01:46 You know?
01:48 Beyoncé has been nominated
01:50 for 88 competitive Grammy awards, winning 32 of them.
01:54 But even though Bey has been nominated six times
01:57 for Album of the Year, she's never won that category.
