- Feb 16, 2017
AceShowbiz - Carlos Santana landed in hot water after criticizing Beyonce Knowles. Following the Grammy Awards which saw Adele winning the most coveted Album of the Year, the guitarist praised the British star and called out the Queen Bee in the process.
"I think that Adele won because she can sing sing," he said. "With all respect to our sister Beyonce, Beyonce is very beautiful to look at and it's more like modeling kind of music - music to model a dress – she's not a singer singer, with all respect to her."
As he received a lot of backlash, Santana apologized, "I would like to clarify a comment that was reported when I was doing an interview for some upcoming shows in Australia & New Zealand. My intent was to congratulate Adele on her amazing night at the Grammies. My comment about Beyonce was regretfully taken out of context. I have the utmost respect for her as an artist and a person. She deserves all the accolades that come her way. I wish Beyonce and her family all the best."
