Kendrick Lamar becomes the biggest winner of the night
After an extraordinary year, Lamar solidified his dominance in the Hip-Hop scene by winning eight awards, making him the biggest winner of the night.
This victory comes amid a year of high-profile feuds with fellow heavyweights Drake and J. Cole, which only seemed to amplify his creative output.
Lamar was nominated in 11 categories, and he didn’t just win one or two; he took home trophies for Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Lyricist of the Year, among others.
His track Not Like Us earned him accolades for both Best Hip-Hop Video and Impact Track, further proving that 2024 was Kendrick’s year.
With fierce competition from Megan Thee Stallion, who had the most nominations with 12, it was expected to be a neck-and-neck race.
However, Megan left the event empty-handed, while Lamar celebrated a sweep of his categories.
