Chance The Rapper and Beyonce won BIG at the Grammys tonight. Get into their acceptance speeches inside..
Salute!
Beyonce, who was up for nine awards, stole the show with her epic performance and she also amped up her total of Grammy wins during the biggest night in music.
Mrs. Carter won Best Music Video for “Formation” during the pre-show. Later, she scooped up the Best Urban Contemporary Album award for her powerful LEMONADE album. She lost out to Adele for Album of the Year, and folks are saying the Grammys still doesn't get that she (and many blacks) can and should also win the major categories....not just the urban ones.
Still, she was forever grateful for all the love.
During her acceptance speech, she thanked everyone who helped with the album that captured her deep southern culture. She said she’s proud of the body of work that gives a voice to our pain and to show powerful imagery to her children that reflect their beauty.
Peep her full acceptance speech below:
Another big winner of the night...
Chance The Rapper, who is still an independent artist with no major label, won BIG tonight. He won his first ever Grammy Award during the pre-show winning the for Best Rap Performance for "No Problem."
The Chi-town native, who was up for seven gold statues, also won the Best New Artist Award and Best Rap Performance.
During his speeches, he made it clear who was responsible for it all: God. The Grammys seemed a bit shady when it came to his acceptance speeches, cutting him off early during both, but he didn’t care. He said all he wanted to say while the cut-off music played to signal him to wrap it up.
