Kendrick Lamar Exerts Maximum Pain On Drake And Wins Record Of The Year At The Grammys For "Not Like Us"

Kendrick Lamar came into the Grammys with seven nominations among five different categories. These categories were Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, Best Music Video, Record of the Year, and even Song of the Year. Overall, it was clear that he was going to sweep the rap-centric categories. In fact, he did just that. However, he also won the Grammy for Best Music Video which brought his total up to three for the entire evening.

However, moments ago, Kendrick Lamar came through with a massive upset as he defeated the pop girls to win Record of the Year for "Not Like Us." The entire building erupted when his name was called and it was yet another example of Kendrick dominating 2024. It can be argued that "Not Like Us" was the best hit of the last year, and this award is further proof of just how respected the song is. What makes the win that much more impressive, however, is that K. Dot did it with a diss track.

Kendrick Lamar Can't Stop Winning

Kendrick Lamar was there to accept his award, and he did it with Mustard by his side. His speech was short and sweet as he shouted out his hometown and the West Coast as a whole. He also referenced the palisades and the fires that took out Los Angeles. It was a great moment and the entire crowd was on its feet watching K. Dot accept his award. Overall, it showcased that Kendrick is the biggest rapper in the world and that his peers absolutely adore his artistry.

For Drake, this is probably his worst nightmare. The song that he is suing UMG over now has four Grammy and it is going for a fifth with Song of the Year. If Kendrick sweeps his categories, it will be a historic night for hip-hop that many did not see coming. Only time will tell if Kendrick can win that 22nd Grammy in just a few minutes' time.

Lizzo Joins Hollywood Via Her First Lead Role In Sister Rosetta Tharpe Biopic

Lizzo is entering EGOT territory with Grammys, an Emmy, and perhaps an Oscar down the line. She just landed her first lead Hollywood role in Rosetta, a biopic on the life of the legendary Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Amazon MGM Studios will bring this story to life with the help of writers Natalie Chadiez and Kwynn Perry. "Inspired by true events, the film will capture a pivotal period in Thrape’s life – one of groundbreaking innovation, defiant passion, and secret love," Deadline reports. "As she shatters musical boundaries with her signature guitar sound, she must navigate societal constraints, conceal her love for another woman, and ultimately transform a wedding into one of the most legendary concerts in history – the first stadium show."

This is very exciting news for the Detroit native, who has a lot to look forward to in 2025. Lizzo's new album Love In Real Life will presumably come out later this year following new spring season singles, although it doesn't have an official release date yet. For that matter, neither does Rosetta, and it will probably be much longer before we see that on the silver screen.

Lizzo Weight Loss

For those somehow unaware, Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the most iconic Black musicians of all time, largely credited alongside Big Mama Thornton as being one of the originators of rock and roll with creative fusions of gospel, rhythm and blues, and more. The Special singer is surely very honored and proud to be portraying the Godmother of Rock and Roll in this upcoming biopic. It will also be a nice break from more salacious narratives around her online, such as viral discussion around Lizzo's weight loss.

Also, this forms part of Lizzo's return to a stronger spotlight after taking some time for herself amid a sexual harassment lawsuit against her. The court dismissed this accusation late last year, and she seems very happy to re-enter the public eye in the open and vibrant way we know and love. All in all, fans have a lot to look forward to in the near future. Let's hope Rosetta does justice to this indelible musical legacy.
