As special guest on three of this week’s top 20 hits (‘Die with a Smile‘ with Lady Gaga, ‘APT.’ with Rose, and ‘Fat Juicy & Wet’ with Sexyy Red), superstar singer Bruno Mars is undoubtedly the Hot 100’s current reigning king.

Taking to the hit podcast named after her, Kelly weighed in on the highlights of the GRAMMYs with stinging disses against Alicia Keys‘ inspirational Global Impact Award speech, Kanye West and wife Bianca Censori‘s shocking red carpet antics, and more.

None got a tongue-lashing from the media personality quite like Beyonce, however.
