Drake vs Kendrick Lamar is the biggest beef in recent rap history. It’s a fight that’s gone miles beyond the usual lyrical martial artistry, though there has certainly been plenty of that. It has spurred multiple court actions and a stunning rebellion against their shared record label.

It’s just the latest achievement for the man who was the first rapper to ever be awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize. After the court of public opinion gave him a decisive win in his spring rap feud with Drake, a Super Bowl halftime performance days away and an upcoming tour, Lamar is on a dominant winning streak.

One of the top awards of the night, record of the year, has been awarded to Kendrick Lamar for “Not Like Us” during the 2025 Grammy Awards.
