Jay-Z thanked “beautiful” Beyoncé in his NAACP award acceptance speech.
The rapper was given the President’s Award on Saturday night and thanked the important women in his life during his acceptance speech.
First the father-of-three thanked his grandmother and said: “She is so full of life and she among other accomplishments, being super great and very tough, she raised seven kids, one little walk up in Brooklyn. 615 Lexington, started my life.”
“On top of that, her kids had kids and we all were raised in the same house. One household.”

The 49-year-old added that he changed his speech after speaking to his grandmother, before he went on to thank his mother: “I grew up knowing that I could accomplish anything because of those strong women in my house. I would like to dedicate this award to those beautiful women.”
Jay-Z then thanked his wife, who was wearing a stunning white ensemble and said: “I’d like to dedicate this award to a beautiful woman in my life, Ms. Beyoncé just because of the white suit.”
“Thank you to the NAACP for allowing me to forward this so she can put it on her mantle next to her favourite grandson. And then when she’s sneaking pork and her legs swell up, she can remember how much of a G she is,” he added.
