This DJ’s controversial moment claiming Beyoncé bought the Grammys is causing a stir.

The 2023 Grammy Awards have come to an end, with Beyoncé taking the spotlight this year. With a total of 32 trophies in her career, she has officially become the artist with the most Grammy wins in history. Even a strong person like Beyoncé could not hide her emotions when giving her speech.

Beyoncé wins 32nd Grammy award of her career

Notably, at the moment Beyoncé was announced with the historic trophy when Break My Soul became Best Dance/Electronic Recording , the camera panned to capture the reactions of the surrounding artists to this victory. When the camera panned to DJ Diplo, although the audience could not hear the sound directly, they could see from his mouth that it was: “They bought that” – “They bought the award already!”. Everything appeared on live television and that ugly moment quickly went viral.

Diplo is a famous DJ/music producer who has worked with many famous artists such as Madonna, Shakira, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, CL, G-Dragon, Bad Bunny,… He also collaborated with Beyoncé herself on some songs from the album Lemonade and was also the one who, together with “Queen Bee”, created the super hit Run The World (Girls) that took the world by storm in 2011. Because he had worked directly with Beyoncé , Diplo’s actions received harsh criticism.

Many people think that Diplo was too rude, deliberately trying to attract attention when talking about his female colleague like that right on live TV with tens of millions of people around the world. Netizens also think that such an action is condemnable and think that Beyoncé with the song Break My Soul completely deserved to win. The audience also compared this action to be as rude as Kanye West’s “mic snatching” act with Taylor Swift years ago!

However, there is also a high possibility that Diplo was just joking, as his facial expressions and the way he interacted were not too “serious”. It should also be remembered that the two used to be relatively compatible colleagues and there has never been any conflict between Diplo and Beyoncé before. But clearly, no matter the circumstances, this joke is not funny!

Beyoncé won anyway, if you don’t accept it then forget it!
