Frank Stallone calls out Beyonce’s Grammy win for ‘Cowboy Carter’
Frank took to Instagram on Monday, February 3, and posted a video stating that Beyonce did not deserve to win the title over Lainey Wilson, Post Malone and Chris Stapleton.
He said, “You’ve got to be kidding me. Beyonce gets best country album against Lainey Wilson, Post Malone, Chris Appleton, Kacey Musgraves. Come on now! This is why the Grammy’s suck. She’s not a country artist.”
Frank added, “I don’t begrudge anyone winning, but fair’s fair. That’s ridiculous. Someone got paid off. Sorry.”
Notably, Beyonce became the first Black woman to win the title in recent times and also became the first-ever Black female solo artist to clinch the award. The Pointer Sisters were the last to get the honor back in 1975.
Furthermore, The 'Halo' songstess, who was nominated in 11 categories, also won the Best Country Duo/Group Performance award for her collaboration with Miley Cyrus for the track 'II Most Wanted' before the telecast as well as Album of the Year, according to People.
Pop icon Taylor Swift presented the award for Best Country Album to Beyonce. She took the award and said in her speech, “Wow, I want to thank God that I'm able to still do what I love after so many years. Oh, my God, I'd like to thank all of the incredible country artists that accepted this, this album we worked so hard on it.”
She added, “I think sometimes genre is a Cold War to keep us in a place as artists. And I just want to encourage people to do this. Stay persistent.”
The 43-year-old also said, “Wow, I like to thank my beautiful family, all of the artists that were collaborators. Thank you. This wouldn't have been this album without you. Like to thank God again and my fans. And I still am in shock, thank you so much for this honor.”
