JAKARTA - The peak night of the 2023 Grammy Awards was successfully held on February 6. Even so, a series of controversies and protests were still being raised by a number of parties, including director Spike Lee.

Through his latest interview, Spike Lee did not accept Beyoncre's defeat for the highest category on the Grammys, Album of the Year.

I'm not the president of Bey Hive (Beyoncre's fan name), but I love and support him. His album was amazing. I know he won dozens of Grammys, but was nominated four times for Album of the Year and he lost all the time? Spike Lee said according to The Guardian.

It doesn't mean to underestimate artists like Adele or Harry Styles who win. It's not their fault, but it's nonsense! " he said again.

As discussed by Spike Lee, Beyoncee may be the artist with the most Grammy nominations of all time, but she has never won the Album of the Year category which is the top category.

Adele beat Jay-Z's wife in 2017, Beck in 2015, and Taylor Swift in 2010. This year, the album Renaissance was defeated by Harry Styles' Harry Styles House album in 2022.

There is a history of black artists coming to events like this and not winning. We all know their job is good because of the art of talking to themselves. But this always drags the validation area," continued Spike Lee.

I want to give support to my brother, Beyoncee. We know what happened. This is really a crime, a fraud, a trick! Spike Lee claims.

The call from the protest was also heard when Harry Styles stood on stage and was about to deliver a speech. Someone from the audience shouted, Beyoncee should have won!

Losing to Harry Styles, in fact Beyoncee made a legend with a 32nd win. He won the Best R&B Song category and Best Dance/Electronic Music Album.
