‘Not like us’ wins at Grammys

On February 3, 2025By Littum

The Grammy Awards delivered a (gold -plated) nail in the coffin of the long -lasting feud between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

After shopping for Diss numbers (and a lawsuit) Snagged Lamar’s best song and record of the year Grammys for his critically acclaimed Drake Diss, “Not like us.”

If subtlety cuts like a knife, Lamar came with his magazine sharpened Sunday, sporting denim-on-denim for his victory. The combination, often called a Canadian tuxedo, seemed to be another tomb in Drake that is Canadian. Lamar’s recent choice to collaborate with Drakes Ex Sza, for his Super Bowl -half -time exhibition head performance and on both of their recent albums add fuel to the fire.

How many Grammys won Kendrick Lamar?

Lamar won five Grammys on Sunday, where they also took awards for best music video, best rap performance and best rap song for the dissant.

All Kendrick Lamar theirs against Drake in Feud

Laced with double enterers, “not like us” tracks accuses Drake and his staff of being a predator and employing a theater piece on one of the Canadian rapper album titles with the lyrics, “Certified Lover Boy? Certified Pedophile.”

Cover Art of “Not Like Us” showed a photo of Drake’s house covered with red markers used to identify registered sex offenders. The music video “Not Like Us” opens with Lamar, making push-ups on ash blocks in response to Drake’s own Diss-track “Push Ups.” Later he uses owl symbolic with reference to the mascot to Drake’s record label ovo sound and makes it clear that they are enemies. In a shot, Lamar smashes an owl piñata.

That Lamar did not go home one but two of Grammy’s most sought after prices can rub salt in the wound to Drake, currently suing both Spotify and Universal Music Group – which represent both him and Lamar – to allegedly blow the streaming data to “not like us .

A RAP Diss -record that gets a grammy nomination (and win) is not unprecedented. Drake’s own Meek Mill Diss Record “Back to Back” was nominated for best rap performance at Grammys 2016. (You will Never guess Who he lost courage: Lamar, for his “To Hall a butterfly” Simple and Modern Protest Song “Okay.”)

Ll Cool J’s “Mama said to knock you out” was the first diss -track to won a grammy where he took the award for best rap performance in 1991. The song is partly aimed at rapper Kool Moe Dee, with whom ll cool J had a long long -style feud.

A beef size of Drake vs. However, Kendrick has not shaken the rap world in some time. The roots of Lamar and Drake’s feud go more than a decade to 2013, although things quickly intensified the last spring as the two traded bars and barbs with shocking accusations.

Before “Not Like Us” and after a surprising drop of his brutal Drake -Diss -track “Euphoria”, Compton, California, released “6:16 in la.” The singing title is an obvious reference to a timestamp -song format Drake has popularized, including “18:00 in New York” and “08.00 in Charlotte.”

But fans also thought that “6:16” Diss had several other meanings: June 16 is Father’s Day in the US and Canada; June 16 is also the birthday of the deceased rapper Tupac Shakur, whom Drake called with the help of AI in the middle of the feud; The first episode of TV drama “Euphoria”, which is executive produced by Drake, Debuted at HBO on June 16, 2019; And June 16 was the apparent date of a Kendrick Lamar concert in Toronto, among a few other possible meanings.

Lamar also hit the stage during the summer at Juneteenth for “The Pop Out -Ken & Friends” concert on the Kia forum, performed “Not Like Us” five times and tells the audience between Encore performances: “Y’all is not will let someone not respect the west coast, right?

Lamar’s half -time performance is expected to draw from its latest album “GNX”, which does not contain “not like us”; However, given the popularity of the track, Drake’s nightmare can be far from over. The dissects can end up with music – and Sport’s – biggest scene.
