Beyonce fans think Diplo said ‘They bought that’ after her record-breaking win for most Grammys

Beyoncé’s fans reacted with fury after the Grammy Awards on Sunday, when some began to question whether Diplo had overshadowed the singer after her historic victory.

Beyoncé broke the record for the most Grammy Awards won over the weekend, surpassing legendary director Georg Solti’s long-standing record of 31 lifetime wins.

But viewers at home who perused video of the 41-year-old singer accepting her 32nd award wondered if Diplo, who was in the running for the same award, might have outshone the hitmaker when she took the stage.

Although the 44-year-old producer could not be heard amid the commotion from the audience, many of whom rose to their feet to give a standing ovation, some fans tried to lip-read him as he said, ‘They bought that,’ while I was talking with a colleague.

But others offer conflicting interpretations, suggesting that he might have said something along the lines of ‘I’m glad to be a part of that,’ which could be a reference to his past collaborations with Beyoncé.

Beyoncé’s win for Best Dance/Electronic Album for her album Renaissance began with James Corden announcing the award.

They reach out for a loving hug just as the broadcast cuts to some of the other nominees, including Diplo, who was competing in the category with his self-titled album.

Turn your head to a friend and let go of the unclear. The competing interpretations proved compelling, as the two leading theories for what she said lined up perfectly with her lips in the video.

‘I don’t diplo saying ‘they bought that’ on beyonce’s win [crying emojis]’, one user speculated on Twitter while posting a clip of the victory.

“Diplo, one of Beyoncé’s collaborators, apparently confirms that she bought her #GRAMMY awards by saying ‘they bought that’ after she won,” another person speculated without evidence.

Beyoncé’s fans were already up in arms after their queen lost the night’s top prize, Album of the Year, with Harry Styles winning the award for Harry’s House.

Renaissance benefited from impressive sales and a much stronger critical reaction, but the former One Direction star still came out on top, repeating a pattern in which Beyoncé often wins multiple awards in genre categories at the Grammys but fails to win the Grammys. most coveted awards.

Another user criticized Diplo, writing: “It’s the audacity of her crisp pale lip that has an ** to match the ‘they bought that’ mouth.” Beyoncé shows humility to everyone who gets on stage and this is disrespect he runs into. Nobody likes a sore loser. Fuck @diplo.’

Another person thought it was funny that Diplo could have said, “They bought that,” since he should have known that cameras traditionally cut losing nominees in hopes of juicy reactions.

“I don’t know which is worse, that he believed anyone else could have won or that he had the audacity to say knowing that the cameras immediately pan to the losers.”

Some posters criticized Beyoncé’s win-win, saying her album wasn’t a great example of the electronic genre, but the category also includes dance music, which Renaissance fits more squarely.

Others noted that Diplo has worked with Beyoncé in the past, suggesting that he probably held no animosity towards her.

Although he doesn’t appear to be credited to Renaissance, a fan reposted Diplo’s adoring tweet reviewing his album.

Beyoncé’s album is 10/10. the production is insane…she really presents the last twenty years of cultural significance that black gay men have had in pop culture. vogue to bounce to house = @Beyonce,’ Diplo, real name: Thomas Wesley Pentz, originally wrote, before including shoutouts to some of her collaborators’ and all the other creators on the album.’

The user who reposted his tweet added: “Diple said ‘I’m a part of that’ and has worked with Beyoncé multiple times.”

Furious: Another user slammed Diplo as a sore loser, despite a lack of clarity about what he actually said.
