Although JAY-Z and Beyoncé weren’t in attendance at the 2019 Brit Awards in London on Wednesday (February 20), The Carters still managed to provide one of the show’s most talked about moments.
Hip Hop’s quintessential power couple accepted the Best International Group award via Instagram. During their speech, they spoofed their Ricky Saiz-directed “APES**T” video and gave a nod to a crowned Meghan Markle — Duchess of Sussex — painted by prolific artist Tim O’Brien.
“Thank you so much to the BRIT Awards for this incredible honor,” Beyoncé says in the short clip. “You guys have always been so supportive. Everything is love. Thank you.”
JAY-Z replies, “You’re welcome” with a straight face. Seconds later, Blue Ivy says off-camera “why,” causing them both to crack up.
Other Hip Hop winners at this year’s awards were Drake, who won Best International Male Solo, and Nicki Minaj, who won the Best British Video award for her feature on Little Mix’s “Woman Like Me.”
Revisit the “APES**T” video below.
Damn King Hov looking like a gay Lenny Kravitz with that hair. Im starting to think I was wrong about Nas. It Was Written is fire ?
You funny asl bruh lmao, when your older your style changes up imagine being older and rich af. Nas “It Was Written” was fire btw. Their’s nothing wrong with liking both, u don’t have to pick sides just enjoy the art provided.
Illmatic still destroys any album of Jay z. Reasonable doubt is slightly better than It was written.
Jay got Migos to write his wife’s raps, sad
Sounds smart to me get the people with the hottest flow out and make it your own. Their’s nothing wrong with colaborating when your attempting to make the best art possible while making sure it sounds current 100.
The Migos aren’t art. Jay calls himself the greatest and didn’t write Beyonce raps. Suspect
I mean, looking at the album liner notes(Everything is Love), it looks like Jay Z had more help with his lyrics than Beyonce did.
Jay out here looking like Wanda Sykes in a Hillary Clinton suit
