Jay-Z has solidified his legacy by becoming the most-awarded rapper in Grammy history. At the 67th Annual Grammy Awards on February 2, 2025, he earned his 25th Grammy, surpassing Kanye West’s 24 awards. This latest accolade was for his contribution to Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, which won Album of the Year. According to Grammy rules, all major contributors to a project are credited as winners in this category.
This achievement not only underscores Jay-Z’s enduring influence in the music industry but also highlights his collaborative synergy with Beyoncé. Notably, last year, Jay-Z openly criticized the Recording Academy’s judgment, pointing out that despite Beyoncé being the most awarded person in Grammy history, she had never won the Album of the Year category.
