Kendrick Lamar Secures Three Wins at 67th Grammys, Bringing His Total to 20
Hip-hop heavyweight Kendrick Lamar has expanded his Grammy collection to 20 awards after a dominant showing at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, where he claimed three wins in the rap categories.
His chart-topping diss track, “Not Like Us,” secured victories in Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video, solidifying its impact not just as a commercial success but also as a defining moment in Lamar’s high-profile feud with Canadian rap star Drake.
The song became an anthem during their widely publicized rap battle, further cementing Lamar’s reputation as one of the most formidable lyricists in the game.
With these latest wins, Kendrick Lamar now ranks third among the hip-hop artists with the most Grammy wins, trailing only Jay-Z and Kanye West, who each have 24 Grammy awards.
Notably, “Not Like Us” also earned Lamar a record-tying seventh win in the Best Rap Song category, putting him on par with Kanye West, the only other artist to achieve this milestone.
Beyond its Grammy success, “Not Like Us” has also sparked legal debates, as it reportedly faces potential defamation claims—a rare controversy for a Grammy-winning track.
Nonetheless, Lamar’s triumph at the 67th Grammys marks yet another milestone in his storied career, reaffirming his influence and dominance in the rap world.
