Jay-Z called the album of the year Grammy "a marketing thing" ahead of the 2023 ceremony, where Beyonce ultimately lost to Harry Styles.

Jay-Z shared his unfiltered thoughts about the Grammys in a new interview conducted ahead of the ceremony and published on Monday (Feb. The latest awards from The Recording Academy brought her total career Grammy wins to 32, officially making her the [most-awarded artist in Grammy history](https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/beyonce-grammy-record-most-wins-all-time-1235212857/). 6), after [Beyoncé](https://www.billboard.com/artist/beyonce/) lost out on album of the year for the fourth time.

Stephen A. Smith and Jay Williams debated Kyrie Irving on First Take, and that conversation got very wide-ranging and very personal.

Hopefully he’ll be back soon though, because despite Smith’s concern, the issues that Williams “finds interesting” are often a good addition to First Take. Then say it, Jay.” Then say it, Jay. “Then say it, Jay. “Oh, I’m always triggered,” Smith responded, a claim that somehow only heightened the tensions during this debate. During the argument over Kyrie Irving, Smith crudely mocked Williams for saying “interesting,” and he bluntly claimed his opinion is valued more than the former NBA player’s.

Bunch a BS you talking right now. SMITH: Well you want more? You get plenty of time. WILLIAMS: (Laughs) What did I just say? What are you saying? How many times have I mentioned Kyrie Irving over the last few weeks? SMITH: Did I mention Kyrie Irving last week before he demanded at trade? What are you saying?' Say what you saying. I'm not going back and re-accounting every decision. JAY WILLIAMS: You're the one saying I'm being sensitive, moaning and whining, but you're the one that seems very emotional right now over the subject matter. I'm not sitting up here on national TV absolving Kyrie Irving of every decision.

The Mavs' trade for ex-Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving seemingly caused a fight between Stephen A Smith and Jay Williams.

The Mavs acquired Kyrie Irving in a trade with the Brooklyn Nets. It makes sense for him to stand with the Mavs star. Kyrie Irving is one of the most polarizing players in the NBA today.

Miami Marlins first base/outfield coach Jon Jay breaks down the team's outfielders, including Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s transition to center field.

Among the highlights: A Sandy Alcantara bobblehead on June 25 and two other to-be-determined bobbleheads on July 9 and Aug. Other events this week include a Doral Meadow Park field day at 6 p.m. But Jay’s time with the outfielders this offseason is extending beyond the field. “He’s the captain of the outfield out there,” Jay said. I’m staying here.’ Instead, he’s saying ‘Hey, if you need me to go to center field for this team to make the playoffs and do what it needs to do,’ I think it says everything you need to know about him.” As for Chisholm, he is transitioning from middle infield to center field this season — a move that came about after the Marlins signed Jean Segura and traded for Luis Arraez this offseason. Soler played in just 72 games while dealing with an assortment of back and pelvic injuries. Garcia and Soler were the Marlins’ splashy offseason signings a year ago. They’re not happy with the way things have gone in the past and they want to make a change and they’ve taken ownership of this offseason.” This has included days at the Marlins’ loanDepot park as well as the fields at Jay’s alma maters, Columbus High and the University of Miami. The Miami Marlins don’t start reporting to spring training until next week, with the first workout for pitchers and catchers set for Feb.

Stephen A. Smith and Jay Williams got heated over Kyrie Irving on ESPN's "First Take" on Feb. 6, 2023.

“I will forever be grateful I got to live out my dream I had as a Kid with y’all. At the time, Smith accused Williams of being an Irving apologist. I don’t accuse you of getting personal when you talk the position you take.” “You of all people with all the interest you have, you’ve got the nerve to sit here on national TV & tell me I’m getting personal with a player?” Smith fired back. I’m on your show.” What are you saying?”

Jay-Z has explained why Beyoncé's album 'Renaissance' deserved to win Album Of The Year at this year's Grammys.

[Beyoncé broke the record for the most Grammy wins of all time. It got to the point where I was like, it’s just a marketing thing. It was like one of the pillars for us. He was also asked if he allowed himself to feel confident about the prospect of Beyoncé winning, or if he tried to emotionally remove himself from the process. “Look how the energy of the world moved.

In a Tidal interview conducted ahead of the Grammys, Jay-Z gushed about 'Renaissance.' “Look what it's done to the culture,” he said.

That has to be Album of the Year.” If only a few more voters agreed. He added that the album has birthed dozens of remixes and mashups. Look how the energy of the world moved. They play her whole album in the club. This isn’t news to anyone, least of all Bey herself — nor her husband, Jay-Z, who [boycotted](https://www.thedailybeast.com/jay-z-reveals-he-boycotted-the-grammys-because-they-disrespected-dmx) the event for five years after the Academy failed to nominate DMX for Best Rap Album in 1999. Look what it’s done to the culture.

Jay-Z and DJ Khaled provided insights on the Grammys, Beyoncé's Renaissance' deserving album of the year and their epic performance of 'God Did.'

“For him to do this for me and to do it for the people and to do it for hip-hop – that’s the biggest blessing. “When the Grammys announced the date and he had some time, the stars aligned,” Khaled said. We owe it to the culture, and it ain’t even a burden. “For the culture and for hip-hop, we got to do that. The song has a star-studded lineup including John Legend, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Fridayy, in addition to Khaled and Jay-Z. Obviously, it’s music and it’s all subjective, but you got to be in the ballpark.” The rapper cited the competitions of 2015 and 2017, when Beyoncé, his wife, did not win album of the year for “Beyoncé” and “Lemonade,” respectively. Interviewed before the ceremony, where album of the year ultimately went to Harry Styles’ “Harry’s House,” the rapper shared that he believed Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” deserved the title. “Look what it’s done to the culture. Look how the energy of the world moved. Jay-Z shared that he boycotted the Grammys in the past when he felt the institution was not even close to getting it “right.” “The truth is, we grew up wanting to be on the Grammys, and it was our goal,” he said. You go, you got an album out and it could help the sales go up,” he said. It was like, ‘We want to go gold.'”
