Solange Knowles won her first ever Grammy award for Best R&B Performance for “Cranes In The Sky” at the 2017 Grammy Awards held at the Staples Center on Sunday in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old entertainer later dissed the award show after Adele beat her older sister Beyonce for album of the year. She made her opinions known through a simple tweet reading “wuddup frank” with a link to a controversial Tumblr tirade about the star-studded award ceremony. The Tumblr post, which was written by hip hop artist Frank Ocean in 2014, accused Grammy organizers of having a “cultural bias” and constantly allowing “faulty wins.”
Solange hit the red carpet in a one-shoulder pleated gold Gucci gown featuring a thigh-high split. She styled the floor length dress with Maryam Nassir Zadeh sandals and jewelry from I Still Love You and Lady Grey.
