Kendrick Lamar wore a Canadian tuxedo as he picked up five Grammys for ‘Not Like Us’

Before the Grammys broadcast even started, Kendrick Lamar was picking up Grammy Awards. He wasn’t even in the audience at that point, so DJ Mustard accepted the Grammys for Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance and Best Music Video. Kendrick was there to accept Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Keep in mind, ALL of these Grammys were for “Not Like Us,” arguably the most significant diss song of all time. Kendrick released his album, GNX, past this year’s Grammy cut-off date, so the Grammy Awards just decided to give him five awards for calling Drake a PDFile.

The best part was when Kendrick accepted the Grammy for ROTY for “Not Like Us.” That man wore a CANADIAN Tuxedo, all denim. The entire audience stood and cheered for him and several huge stars could be seen rapping along and/or dancing as “Not Like Us” played. That’s got to hurt for Drake – the entire Grammy audience singing along to “A Minnnnnor.” Kendrick also dedicated his ROTY to Los Angeles, and he shouted out neighorhoods and areas affected by the Southern California wildfires. He also showed a lot of respect to Diana Ross for SOTY. Next Sunday, he’s got the Super Bowl Halftime show!

    I love Kenny! Last night, he won Record of the Year for a diss track and took home five Grammys, surpassing Aubrey’s total career wins of three 😂😂😂

    The entire audience singing “A minooooor” 🎶 was crazy work! Loved it.

    • truthSF says:

      Actually, Drake won a total of 5 Grammys, and Kdot tied his 5 in one night!😂

      He was also the most awarded artist of the night with his 5 wins, more than any other winners nominated this year.

      Fun fact: Kdot won 5 Grammys in one night at 3 different Grammy events. 2015* 2023 and 2025.

    I really can’t believe Grammy was so on point. “Not Like Us” deserved every award it got. The beat, the lyrics.. I am happy that Drake was so dumb not to keep the diss songs professional. It must hurt Drake watching all his coworkers singing along to the song that called him pdfile. Even Blue Ivy was singing along. 😭😭

      I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to make that connection but that’s totally on me!

      Perfect move.

    sorry – I am just hear to say I love Doechii and there’s so little coverage of their album!!

  7. Inge says:

    So is Drake going to sue the Grammy’s now?

    Anyway love this for Kendrick!

    I don’t think that a lot of people realize that Kendrick won a NOBEL Prize in literature. He is so insanely in touch with so much to offer. His lyrics have meaning, his groove is undeniable, and he is, quite simply, a modern master.

    • PurpleNix says:

      I’m pretty sure he won a Pulitzer Prize in music not a Nobel Prize. He’s a brilliant lyricist.

    Wonderful. Beautiful.
