At the 67th Grammy Awards held on February 3, 2025, Kendrick Lamar won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year for his track "Not Like Us." This song is known for its criticism of fellow rapper Drake, intensifying their ongoing feud.
In his acceptance speech, Lamar expressed gratitude to his hometown of Compton, California, and acknowledged his collaborator, Mustard. He emphasized the influence of his community on his music career and his commitment to supporting the city.
Lamar's "Not Like Us" was selected over other nominees, including Taylor Swift, Post Malone, The Beatles, Beyoncé, and Billie Eilish. This marks Lamar's first win in the Record of the Year category after four nominations.
During the ceremony, Lamar also won awards for Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance, all for "Not Like Us."
The 2025 Grammy Awards were hosted by Trevor Noah and featured performances by various artists, including Billie Eilish and a surprise appearance by The Weeknd. The event also included a tribute to Los Angeles, which had recently faced devastating wildfires.
