Kendrick Lamar is now the most decorated rapper in Grammys history, overtaking one of his hip-hop heroes, JAY-Z.
The Compton kingpin was the night’s biggest winner at the 2026 Grammy Awards on Sunday (February 1), taking home five trophies including Record of the Year.
That pushes Kendrick’s career total of Grammy wins to 27, putting him two above JAY-Z (25) and one above Kanye West (24).
He is also now fifth on the all-time list of Grammy winners, eight behind current record-holder Beyoncé who has 35.
