Agency Report
Rapper Jay-Z rose to the top of the list of artists with the most Grammy nominations on Tuesday, hitting a lifetime total of 83 that put him just ahead of former Beatle Paul McCartney.
The three latest nominations for Jay-Z came for collaborations with other artists.
He made guest appearances on DMX song “Bath Salts” and Kanye West’s “Jail,” which also earned Jay-Z a nod for West’s album “Donda.”
Jay-Z has won 23 Grammys overall, including a best rap album award in 1999 and honors for songs “Crazy in Love” with his wife, Beyonce, in 2004 and “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys in 2011.
Earlier this year, Beyonce set the record for most Grammy wins by a woman with 28 over her career.
