*“The View’s” Alyssa Farah Griffin claims JAY-Z stole Taylor Swift’s spotlight at the Grammys on Sunday while the rapper accepted the 2nd annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.

During his speech, Jigga questioned the voting process and called out the Recording Academy’s voting members over Beyoncé’s lack of Best Album wins.

Swift became the first person in history to win four Album of the Year awards during the ceremony, and Griffin criticized Jay for distracting from her historic night.

“This is a long-standing thing. I think the country has never gotten over that [Beyoncé] didn’t win Album of the Year for I Am… Sasha Fierce, and this goes back to the Taylor drama, she won for Fearless that year. Objectively, I can say I think Beyoncé should’ve won for I Am… Sasha Fierce,” Griffin said during a Hot Topics segment on Monday, Entertainment Weekly reports. 

“It feels like taking away from artists who are winning that night. Beyoncé has been such a support system to Taylor Swift. She showed up to the opening of her Eras Tour movie, Taylor went to hers, and it felt like it was taking away from her making history that night by winning the most Albums of the Year,” Griffin continued.

Sunny Hostin defended Jay-Z for having the “courage to say it for his wife.”

“I like when a couple whose had a tumultuous relationship at times, you see that longevity, you see that love and see them stick up for each other,” she continued. 

“I liked that part of it. I don’t know that it makes sense that Beyoncé has so many awards and never won Album of the Year. Renaissance was just an incredible moment for everyone, for American culture,” she added. “I think there’s some sort of discrepancy there in terms of who this country decides is the pop princess, or who this country makes the determination for. Sometimes, I don’t think the country gets it right.”
