The Grammys 2017 was full of winning moments and dramas. After Adele was awarded her fifth win for the night, she delivered her acceptance speech. The speech becomes controversial when the "25" singer was lambasted for mentioning her black friends in her speech.
Adele broke the Album of the Year trophy because she believes that Beyonce was the real winner. She even praised her and her "Lemonade" album. Beyonce was teary-eyed as Adele was delivering her acceptance speech.
Carlos Santana who won 10 Grammys in his entire career said that Beyonce is not a singer according to Daily News. She just relied on her theatrical performances, unlike Adele who just stands and sings - no dancers, no props.
The fans of Queen Bey did not like what the iconic guitarist has just said about Beyonce and they trooped to social media to retaliate. Good thing the 69-year-old artist did not have an Instagram account. So the teenager with the same name's account was swarmed with bee emojis.
Later, Carlos Santana apologized and explained what he meant as reported by Rolling Stone. He said, "With all respect to our sister Beyoncé, Beyoncé is very beautiful to look at and it's more like modeling kind of music - music to model a dress - she's not a singer, singer, with all respect to her."
However the next day, he explained on Facebook, "My comment about Beyonce was regretfully taken out of context. I have the utmost respect for her as an artist and a person. She deserves all the accolades that come her way. I wish Beyonce and her family all the best."
Carlos Santana said that his statement was taken out of context. Beyonce and Adele's reactions were not known yet regarding Santana's comments.
