Kendrick Lamar's viral diss track Not Like Us has won Record of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards, marking a historic moment in hip-hop.
Taking the stage to accept the award, Lamar dedicated the win to Los Angeles, shouting out neighborhoods across the city, reports media.
The track becomes only the second hip-hop song to claim the prestigious honor, following Childish Gambino's This Is America in 2019.
Lamar beat out a competitive field that included The Beatles (Now and Then), Beyoncé (Texas Hold 'Em), Billie Eilish (Birds of a Feather), Chappell Roan (Good Luck, Babe!), Charli XCX (360), Sabrina Carpenter (Espresso), and Taylor Swift & Post Malone (Fortnight).
Prior to winning Record of the Year, Not Like Us had already dominated the night, securing Best Song and Best Rap Performance awards.
