Solange has responded to the Grammys awarding three major awards to Adele ahead of her sister Beyoncé.
The singer re-posted Frank Ocean‘s recent criticism of the awards ceremony.
In three of the most highly-regarded categories at the awards ceremony, Beyoncé lost out to Adele for Album of the Year (which went to Adele’s 2015 album 25), Record of the Year and Song of the Year ( both for Adele’s ‘Hello’). The decision to award Adele over Beyoncé for these prizes sparked heated debate and criticism online, while Adele herself tried to argue during her acceptance speech for Album of the Year that Beyoncé’s 2016 album Lemonade should have been awarded the honour instead.
Solange has now added to the controversy surrounding the Recording Academy’s choices by seemingly criticising the Grammys online. The singer posted a link to Frank Ocean’s recent statement on Tumblr that in part tore into the judging system of the Grammys, suggesting that she endorsed his take-down of the awards. “If you’re up for a discussion about the cultural bias and general nerve damage the show you produce suffers from then I’m all for it,” the Blonde singer wrote.
