TL;DR Summary

Jay-Z used his Grammys speech to highlight the ongoing issue of racial bias and lack of recognition for Black artists at the Grammy Awards, particularly focusing on his wife Beyoncé's snubs. The history of racial bias at the Grammys has been a longstanding issue, with only 11 Black artists winning album of the year to date and just three Black women receiving the award since its inception in 1959. Many have called for the Recording Academy to address this issue and give more recognition to Black artists.
