Beck's Wikipedia Page Hacked to Say He Stole the 2015 Grammy From Beyonce: Details
Someone called the Beygency! Beck will think twice before going up against Beyonce again. The veteran singer-songwriter, 44, took home the 2015 Album of the Year Grammy for Morning Phase, surprisingly beating out the Drunk in Love singers blockbuster, critically acclaimed self-titled visual album.

After his win, Becks Wikipedia page got some interesting updates that appear to have come straight out of Kanye Wests mouth. One new fact read, He is the stealer of The Album of the Year award, before noting that the Blue Moon singer stole the honor from Beyonce Knowles, the Queen of the World. The page has since been changed to read, On February 8, 2015, at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, Morning Phase won three Grammys.

It wasnt the first attack on the singer. When he took the stage to accept the Album of the Year Award, rapper Kanye West hopped up prepared to interrupt him before deciding against it.

The move was reminiscent of Wests infamous 2009 MTV VMA moment when he took the microphone from Taylor Swift, declaring, Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the greatest videos of all time.

At the Grammys, Kim Kardashians husband, 37, restrained himself, waiting to blast Beck until after the show. It turns out the Only One emcee definitely wasnt kidding when he jumped onstage.
"I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us," he told E! (via Billboard). "We ain't gonna play with them no more. And Beck needs to respect artistry, and he should've given his award to Beyonce."
