Jay-Z Accepts Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, Calls Out Grammys Over Beyoncé's Lack of Best Album Wins: 'When I Get Nervous, I Tell the Truth'


JAY-Z calls out the Grammys while accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. "When I get nervous, I tell the truth," the hip-hop artist said.

While accepting the 2nd annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award — in recognition of his musical legacy — the hip-hop artist, 54, questioned the process behind the voted categories. While he didn't mention the "young lady" by name, he appeared to be referring to his wife Beyoncé, who has been nominated for album of the year four times and never won. “What I love about this award is that it uses my name to inspire the next generation of producers, artists, and entrepreneurs to reach for their greatness and demand that from everybody around you,” Dr. Dre said during the acceptance speech.
