Jay-Z went home from the Grammys empty-handed, even though he was the most-nominated artist of the night. Arguably the greatest rapper to have ever lived left Sunday night’s show with no grammys after receiving eight nominations for his album “4:44.” The 48-year-old rapper couldn’t get past the tough competition despite being the most nominated artists of the night.
Many believe Grammy voters went with popularity instead of impact. 444 album will probably go down as Jay-Z most impactful and influential album of Mr. Carter career. He layed out everything on this album. It wasn’t as popular or trendy as the other albums but it was the most important album.
Fans go on social media after Jay-Z getting snubbed at 60th Grammys.

#Blue knew what was up…before it happened. #JayZ was nominated for 8 #GRAMMYs for 444, but didn't win 1 last night. The good news, he has 21 Grammys, a beautiful family, and received the #Icon Award the previous night. He's good, but 444 definitely deserved a #win. pic.twitter.com/hsg8SZPUhA
