Kendrick Lamar has won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
The West Coast rapper’s Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” was up against some pretty tough competition: Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ’Em,” Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather,” Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!,” Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please,” Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Taylor Swift’s “Fortnight.”
With this win, “Not Like Us” is likely the first-ever blatant diss song to earn the Song of the Year honor. The track, which was released during Lamar and Drake’s memorable feud from last year, essentially led to the GNX rapper being declared winner of the beef. Tonight, Kendrick's "Not Like Us" also took home trophies for Record of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and Best Music Video.
