Kendrick Lamar just pulled off a masterclass in the subtle art of trolling—and where better to do that than at the Grammy Awards? Donning a full ‘Canadian Tuxedo’—that’s denim on denim for those not in the fashion loop—he seemed to throw a not-so-sneaky jab at Drake while snagging multiple awards for his track “Not Like Us,” which, let’s be real, is practically a love letter to shade. As iconic singer Diana Ross presented him the Song of the Year honor, Kendrick took the opportunity to remind everyone, “Nothing more powerful than rap music.” And trust me, his outfit wasn’t the only thing turning heads; his words resonated just as loudly, as he dedicated his wins to his roots in Compton amidst a round of applause. Did he leave Drake shaking in his boots? Maybe! But one thing’s for sure: Kendrick’s got a flair for the dramatic, and he knows how to steal the show, while subtly serving up some competition. Let’s dive into how the night unfolded—because in the world of hip-hop, every detail matters!
Kendrick Lamar appeared to troll Drake at the Grammy Awards with his outfit choice for the event. He rocked a Maison Margiela denim jacket and matching jeans with a denim hat, channeling what is known as a ‘Canadian Tuxedo.’ In doing so, he took home several awards for his Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” The song notched him Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video.
Diana Ross was on stage to present him the Song of the Year honor. Lamar said to the crowd: “This is what it’s about, man, because, at the end of the day, nothing more powerful than rap music. I don’t care what it is. We are the culture. It’s gon’ always stay here and live forever. And, to the young artists, like my man [Terrence ‘Punch’ Henderson] say, I just hope you respect the art form. That’s all. Respect the art form, and get you where you need to go. All right, salute. I appreciate y’all; love y’all.”
He also dedicated his wins to his hometown of Compton. “My mom and pop out there doing front flips on the couch right now. My son is six years old. Go to sleep, it’s past your bedtime right now,” he said on stage. At another point, he brought up the recent wildfires impacting Los Angeles. “I can’t give enough thanks, you know, to these places that I rolled around since high school, you know. Most importantly, the people and the families out in the Palisades and Altadena,” he said.
Drake has not commented on Kendrick Lamar’s success at the Grammys but his father, Dennis Graham, reacted to the wins in a video circulating on social media. When asked about the results, he remarked: “I don’t care about none of that sh*t. That got nothing to do with me. All the best to him. I don’t do that bullsh*t.”
