Kendrick Lamar was the Grammy Awards big winner<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old rapper’s Drake diss track ‘Not Like Us’ saw him come away from Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena with a huge haul of statuettes, picking up withs in the prestigious Record of the Year and Song of the Year categories, as well as Best Music Video, Best Rap Song, and Best Rap Performance.<\/p>\n
This year’s ceremony was held to honour Los Angeles and raise funds for the victims of the recent wildfires, and Kendrick took the time to praise his home city.<\/p>\n
Accepting Record of the Year, he said: “What\u2019s up? First and foremost, praise to the most high we woke up this morning. Dre, what’s up? Swiss what’s up? <\/p>\n
“We gonna dedicate this one to this city: Compton, Long Beach, Englewood, Hollywood, out to the Valley, San Bernardino, all that. This is my neck of the woods that held me down since a young pup, since I was in the studio scrapping to write the best raps and all that to write ones like these. <\/p>\n
\n“I can\u2019t give enough thanks to these places that I rolled around since high school. <\/p>\n
\n“Most importantly, the people and the families out in the Palisades and Altadena. This is a true testament that we can change and restore this city. Keep rocking. My boy Mustard, where you at?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBeyonce also enjoyed a succesful evening, picking up three prizes including finally securing the night’s biggest honour, Album of the Year for ‘Cowboy Carter’, which she dedicated to Linda Martell, a Black trailblazer in country music.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: I just feel very full and very honoured. It\u2019s been many, many years and I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all the hard work.<\/p>\n
\n“I want to dedicate this to Miss Martell, and I\u2019ll just hopefully keep pushing forward, opening doors. God Bless y’all.”<\/p>\n
\nThe record also led Beyonce to take home Best Country Album, and her collaboration with Miley Cyrus, ‘II Most Wanted’, won Best Country Duo\/Group Performance.<\/p>\n
\nOther notable winners at the ceremony – which was hosted by Trevor Noah – included Charli XCX, who won Best Dance\/Electronic Album and Best Recording Package for ‘Brat’, as well as Best Dance Pop Recording for ‘Von Dutch’, Sabrina Carpenter, who took home Best Pop Solo Performance for ‘Espresso’, and Chappell Roan, who scooped Best New Artist.<\/p>\n
