I also hear Beyonce got a little jealous over Jay Z’s attention to Rihanna last night.

What is going on with Nas ex-wife Kelis?

And we wonder why they give out most of the Rap Awards off the air.

The Night when you can wear the most talked about outfits…GaGa and Pink took The Cake. Hip Hop’s fashion icons…Beyonce and Rihanna were shut out.

Michael Jackson took home a Grammy and Beyonce picked up 6 Grammys last night.

There were no rap nominations in the Album of the Year, Best New Artist, or Record of the Year categories.
