Jay-Z's Grammys speech about Beyoncé reiterates an ongoing issue with the awards. Jay-Z called out the Recording Academy's snubs against his wife, Beyoncé, during the Grammys on Sunday in a speech that drew attention to the lack of recognition Black artists have endured at the esteemed award show.

Of the four most prestigious Grammys, Beyoncé has won only song of the year. She has never been nominated for artist of the year and has been snubbed four times for album of the year and an additional eight times for record of the year. Here's a breakdown of Beyoncé's biggest Grammy snubs.

Who did Beyoncé lose on the Album of the Year too? ›
