BREAKING NEWS! Jay z condemns Beyonce’s favouritism at the Grammys 2024

Finally, Cooper found his leading lady in Gaga, after watching her sing “La Vie en Rose” at a benefit concert.

“It just blew the doors off of the whole place, and it was in that moment where it was like, ‘That’s it. What was I even thinking?’ And then I asked to meet her,” he said.

Gaga’s performance earned the star her first-ever Oscar nomination for Best Actress, and she took home the Oscar for Best Original Song.

“Bradley Cooper believed in me for the role of Ally Maine in A Star Is Born,” Gaga said during a 2021 appearance on Entertainment Weekly’s Awardist podcast. “It was the success of our artistic collaboration that landed me where I am now.”

The two seem to have maintained a close friendship in the years since, with Gaga even coming out to support a red carpet screening of Cooper’s latest film, Maestro, this past December.

Jay-Z took home the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the 2024 Grammys on Sunday and used his acceptance speech to call out the Recording Academy’s snubs against his wife, Beyoncé.

Jay-Z took the stage with oldest daughter Blue Ivy, 12, at the award show at the Crypto Arena in Los Angeles as Beyoncé looked on from the crowd.

“We love y’all. We want y’all to get it right,” he said. “I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work.”
