Kanye West may have made headlines last year for urinating in one of his GRAMMYs (click here to read more), but apparently the shocking act didn’t piss off the Recording Academy.
Just four years after setting the record for “most nominations with no wins in a single night” (among males), the rapper-producer extraordinaire now boasts ownership of a historic total of golden gramophones.
During the ceremony’s pre-show (which was untelevised), West won his 22nd GRAMMY – this time in the ‘Best Contemporary Christian Album’ category for his Gospel LP, ‘Jesus is King.’ As expected, he was not on hand to accept it.
The victory means he’s now tied with Jay-Z for most Grammy wins by a credited Hip Hop performer (22 each). By technicality, Jay is still the most-awarded Hip Hop act as he owns two additional golden gramophones for songwriting (‘Black Parade,’ ‘Savage’) – both picked up at the Sunday night show (March 14).
Don’t expect Yeezy to gloat about the triumph any time soon, though. As evidenced by his pissy protest, the chart-topping rapper is among many music superstars who have blasted (or are currently blasting) the award show for its lack of inclusion and lack of transparency about its voting process.

LEGEND! 💯
Yes, say what you want about Kanye his music genius. 🙂 Truly iconic and legendary.
Well actually the record was broken again by Jay Z last night because he won Grammys for best r&b song for “Black Parade” and Best Rap Song for “Savage” (Remix) (featuring Beyoncé) – both as a songwriter. Bringing his total to 24 and making him the most awarded hip hop artist and the 9th most awarded artistes overall at the Grammys.

Congrats Flavor Ye 🤳🏽
I agree with what he said about African-American slavery was ‘a choice’, was spot on. He is full of flavor.
I was listening to this earlier. ❤️
