The music industry has been engaged in a debate regarding Beyoncé’s loss to Adele in several categories at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday.
Even Adele – a professed faithful member of the Beyhive – said that her album of the year was ‘Lemonade,’ when she accepted the honor, and later asked, “What the [f-word expletive] does she have to win for ‘Best Album?’”
Legendary musician Carlos Santana felt otherwise.
“I think that Adele won because she can sing, sing,” Santana told an Australian newspaper. “With all respect to our sister Beyoncé, Beyoncé is very beautiful to look at and it’s more like modelling kind of music – music to model a dress – she’s not a singer, singer, with all respect to her.”
Yesterday, Santana took to Facebook to “clarify his remarks.”
“My intent was to congratulate Adele on her amazing night at the Grammys,” Santana said. “My comment about Beyoncé was regretfully taken out of context. I have the utmost respect for her as an artist and a person. She deserves all of the accolades that come her way.”
