Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Wins Record of the Year and Song of the Year at Grammy Awards
Kendrick Lamar won the coveted Record of the Year and Song of the Year Grammy Awards for his Drake diss, “Not Like Us.”
Lamar was up against some stiff competition, battling with other cultural resets from Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Chappell Roan, Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, The Beatles and Sabrina Carpenter.
With Mustard by his side to accept the award, a denim-clad Lamar was all smiles accepting the award.
“First and foremost, all praise to the most high. We woke up this morning,” Lamar begins.
“Rest in paradise my auntie Shannon. She transitioned yesterday, so this is special.”
Lamar goes on to dedicate the award to “The City,” specifically shouting out Compton, Watts, Long Beach, Inglewood, Hollywood, the Valley and more. “This is my neck of the woods that held me down since a young pup, since I was in the studio scrapping to write the best raps and do records like these. I can’t give enough thanks to these places that I rolled around since high school.”

Shortly after, Diana Ross presented Lamar with the award for Song of the Year, which he dedicated to his longtime partner and fiancee, Whitney Alford.
