Kendrick Lamar dominates the 2025 Grammy Awards with five wins

It was a monumental night for rap legend Kendrick Lamar at the 67th Grammy Awards, where he solidified his status as one of hip-hop’s greatest artists. The Compton native walked away with five prestigious awards, including two in the coveted "Big Four" categories, further cementing his legacy in music history.

With these latest wins, Lamar now boasts an impressive tally of 22 Grammy victories from 57 nominations, making him one of the most awarded rap artists in the ceremony’s history. His triumph at the 2025 Grammys follows a remarkable year that saw him reignite a long-standing rap feud with Drake, culminating in the success of his Grammy-nominated diss track, Not Like Us. The track, which took the industry by storm, was widely regarded as a defining moment in the hip-hop landscape of 2024.

Beyond the Grammys, Lamar’s influence extends well into 2025. The NFL recently announced that he will headline the Super Bowl 59 halftime show in New Orleans, a performance that has generated immense anticipation. Joining him will be his former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate SZA, leading fans to speculate about a potential joint tour. Adding to the excitement, Lamar stunned fans in November by surprise-releasing his sixth studio album, GNX, which features hit singles such as Wacced Out Murals, Squabble Up, and TV Off.

Lamar entered the night with seven Grammy nominations across five categories, ultimately securing victories in each of those categories. His track Not Like Us dominated the evening, overshadowing another of his nominated songs, Like That, which featured Future and Metro Boomin but did not win any awards.

Here is the full list of Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Grammy wins:

• Record of the Year – Not Like Us
• Song of the Year – Not Like Us
• Best Music Video – Not Like Us
• Best Rap Song – Not Like Us
• Best Rap Performance – Not Like Us

As Lamar continues to push creative boundaries and influence the rap genre, his recent accolades reaffirm his place among hip-hop’s elite. With a Super Bowl performance on the horizon and a new album making waves, 2025 is shaping up to be another groundbreaking year for the rap icon.
