Kelly Rowland heaped praise on JAY-Z at the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Los Angeles on Tuesday, following the rapper's speech at the Grammy Awards. On stage, JAY used his speech accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award to praise his wife, Beyonce, and question why she hasn't won Album of the Year.
“Shawn Carter is one of the greatest men I know and his words ring so loud to me,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I couldn’t be more proud of him. I’m just really happy for a lot of things that he said. I think that he made a lot of artists feel very seen and very heard in those minutes that he took on stage.”

“I feel like she is an icon… and that’s for a reason – it’s because she starts trends,” Rowland said. “She is innovative, her thoughts are big and bright and she just jumps for them and does it. I think that her albums are a reflection of that, and it should be really celebrated in that way. I’m not saying that because it’s my sister, I’m saying it because it’s the truth. I’ve seen the blood, sweat and tears that she puts into these projects, and her thoughts and her heart and her passion and her soul.” Check out her full comments on JAY-Z below.
