Solange Knowles Reacts To Alicia Keys Grammys Speech; Writes ‘Omggg This Made Me…’

Alicia Key’s acceptance speech for the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the Grammys on February 2 was one of the event’s pure highlights. Many individuals, including celebrities, have reacted to it, and Solange Knowles is among them. The Girl on Fire singer mentioned Knowles in her award speech, along as Missy Elliot, Grimes, Patrice Rushen, and Linda Perry, as outstanding female producers.

Keys expressed onstage, “I just want to give big love to my brother Dr. Dre, who created a sound that began a movement, and your sound told me that if you’re a creative growing up in Compton or Hell’s Kitchen, you can touch the world.”

She mentioned having to “fight for a certain level of respect” as someone who writes, composes, and especially produces. She also talked about it being “strange” that one doesn’t think of women as producers like Quincy Jones, Dre, or her husband Swizzy. Keys talked about female producers powering the industry.

The Cranes in the Sky songstress took to her X account on Monday, February 3, and shared a video from the prestigious event and penned, “Omggg this made me smile so bigggg being mentioned in this lineup.” She added, “Let me go make some beats lol.”
