Jay-Z has surpassed all other rappers in Grammy wins, solidifying his place as the most awarded rapper in history.

Beyoncé's Grammy win for Album of the Year on Sunday night was a monumental moment, not just for her, but for her husband Jay-Z as well. With writing credits on the award-winning project, Jay-Z has now become the most awarded rapper in Grammy history. This achievement surpassed his former friend and collaborator, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, breaking their previous tie.

But the success didn't end there for the power couple. It was also a night of firsts for Beyoncé as she took home her first country Grammy for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with her song "II Most Wanted," featuring Miley Cyrus. She then added another Grammy to her already impressive collection with Best Country Album for "Cowboy Carter."

Many couldn't help but wonder if the Grammy committee took heed of Jay-Z's words from last year's ceremony, where he called out the members during his acceptance speech for the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. In a moment that went viral, the hip-hop mogul and billionaire passionately defended his wife and shed light on the hypocrisy that the person with the most Grammy awards in history had yet to win the biggest one.

Standing on stage with his daughter Blue Ivy, who has also won a Grammy, Jay-Z chastised the Recording Academy, saying, "We love y'all. We want y'all to get it right. I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone and never won Album of the Year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. That doesn't work."

But now, it does work. With a combined total of 61 Grammys, the Carter family has solidified their place in music history. And as if that wasn't enough, Jay-Z recently announced a new partnership with a South Korean music platform that will allow fans to purchase song royalties, further cementing his influence and impact in the industry.
