Solange Knowles was not here for Beyonce losing “album of the year” to Adele. She sided with Frank Ocean after he took to Tumblr to share his thoughts about the whole thing. These two were not alone as Kendrick Lamar was also displeased with the win.
Solang tweeted the link to Frank’s thoughts while saying ,
“wuddup frank,”
She then tweeted that only two black artists have won Album of the Year within the last two decades which is false. There were actually four in the past 20 years, Herbie Hancock (2008), Ray Charles (2005), Outkast (2004), and Lauryn Hill (1999). She also tweeted urging others to “build their own institutions” so they can “be the gold [they] wanna hold.” Both tweets were eventually deleted.
