Jerkins, who has worked closely with Beyoncé on numerous hits, including ‘Déjà Vu’ — which Rolling Stone called Beyoncé’s greatest hit — reflected on the achievement in a sit-down with Digiwaxx.

When asked about the Grammy win, Jerkins said:

“I congratulated her on that achievement. Personally, I wanted to see it with an R&B record, and I feel like she would say the same thing.”

He also reminisced about the B’Day album he worked on, expressing that it should have earned a Grammy.

He drew a comparison to Denzel Washington’s Oscar win for ‘Training Day’, instead of his other notable performances.

“It’s like Denzel winning for Training Day — he should’ve won for John Q, But he won for the drug dealer role.”

Her total career Grammy wins now sit at 35 – the most of any artist ever.

Regardless, the producer is proud to have been a part of Beyoncé’s journey and her rollercoaster success leading to the Album of the Year Grammy win.
