The 16-time Grammy winner Adele has proven with her outstanding vocals, time and time again, that she is worthy of all the acclaim and accolades she gets, and we’re sure fans won’t disagree either. But then there’s the incident from 2017 when theHellosinger seemed to have broken her Grammy in half, seemingly because of the artist ofherlife, Beyoncé.
Of course, over the years, there has been a lot of speculation on whether the tremendously commended singer actually did this on purpose for Queen Bey or if it was a mere accident. Fortunately enough, theSkyfallsinger has given her answer to this, but now there’s more controversy raging around Jay-Z’s wife over how artists seem to thank her first after their Grammy wins!
Adele Reveals How She Broke Her Grammy for Beyoncé
Seven years ago, in 2017,Adeleset some really incredible records as she won not one or two, but five whopping Grammys. Among other titles, this included her winning theRecord of the Yearaward as well. But instead of accepting this major accolade peacefully, theRolling in the Deepsinger had a rather emotional speech prepared that wasn’t for her family – it was for Queen Bey.
Taking the stage, the 12-time Brit winner’s overwhelmed words were (viaVanity Fair):“I can’t possibly accept this award, and I’m very humbled, and I’m very grateful and gracious, but the artist of my life is Beyoncé.”While that must have been some serious respect she held for Bey, Adele proceeded to break her award in two to share it with her icon seemingly.
While that was that, years later, in an interview excerpt shared by@protectorbeyonce on Instagram, theSet Fire to the Rainsinger was asked“Was breaking your Grammy in a half for Bey easier or harder than you thought it would be?”

To this, she gave the most honest but rather surprising response as she said:
It was actually really easy. I was just so uncomfortable and nervous, up on the stage, trying to give that speech right in front of her. And it just sort of twisted off and fell off from the hand. It felt like a fake!
Apparently, it seems like the Grammy break was accidental, considering how she even went backstage to replace it with a full, non-broken one afterward. But while this gesture from the Academy Award-winning singer earned her quite a lot of praise and the stature of being a“humbled”celebrity from fans, things seem to be escalating in a different direction forBeyoncé.
As it turns out, netizens can’t help but notice this trend with artists thankingJay-Z‘s wife after winning in an incredibly overwhelmed manner – something that has brought up the theory that Bey’s strong influence may be the reason behind it all.
Beyoncé is Currently Under Fire for Some Serious Conspiracy Theories
Artists getting emotional and thanking their parents, spouses, friends and families, and the people they work with, in general, after winning a major award is a rather ordinary and much-expected sight. This is why Queen Bey has been getting seriously scrutinized considering how many artists seem to be thanking and heaping praise on her after being honored themselves.
As many must have noticed, theGo Easy on Mesinger wasn’t the only one gushing on and on in praise after winning twice the number of Grammys that her icon won that year. Over the years, other singers likeLizzoandKanye Westhave also done the same thing (as@zivmontenegropointed out), withthe latter even resulting ina controversial feud withTaylor Swift.
According toTelegrafi, this has led to a creepy conspiracy theory about Bey sprouting up and spreading on TikTok, with theSay My Namesinger allegedly being the biggest fear of the music industry. Apparently, this is because of her strong influence and the fact that she’s Jay-Z’s wife, who seems to be one of the“bad boys”of music just likeDiddy, the now-disgraced music mogul.

Of course, this theory has been shunned by quite a lot of Queen Bey’s fans. While some of them claim in @protectorbeyonce’s comment section that Adele’s was simply a gesture that stemmed out of her genuine love for Beyoncé, calling her“a certified Beyhive”, some others Bey“innocent”claiming there’s no evidence to all those theories.
Well, for what it’s worth, at the end of the day, thesearemere conspiracy theories, so fans might as well take them with a pinch of salt.
