"Beyoncé['s] album was legendary," he wrote on Instagram, adding that he is a "stan" and had even worked with her on several occasions before. "[W]hat's important to understand was that her intention was 100%. She did the work, found the real producers, and she made classics .. so she deserves her flowers."

He concluded, "[A]nd when she won, I was just proud to see my nomination on the screen ... but the best part was my friends and the other artists in the genre still out raving until sunrise somewhere in LA : that's what the music is really about 😎."
