Jay-Z is the true king of hip hop, taking home 3 Grammys last night. The 43-year-old rapper won for the best Rap Performance and Rap Song categories for his track N****s in Paris, and also took home the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration award for No Church in the Wild with Kanye West and Frank Ocean. He spent the night mingling with Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, and his wife Beyonce who also took home an award for Best Traditional R&B Performance for her track Love On Top. They spent the award night drinking champagne. Later backstage, he was cought pouring and drinking cognac out of his Grammy. With all this success, a gorgeous wife, and a precious little one-year-old at home, life is but a beach chair.
And for some local flavour, Drake took the award for best Rap Album for Take Care. Drake has been nominated a total of 12 times since 2010, and this year he finally gets a taste of the glory.
