“It’s very stiff competition,” he said before adding, “Kendrick is gonna sweep that shit. He’s going to, and he should.”

Lamar is up for seven nominations at the 2025 Grammy Awards, with most of those thanks to his hit diss song, “Not Like Us.” The song has earned him nominations for: Best Music Video, Best Rap Performance, Record of the Year, Best Rap Song and Song of the Year. The other two nominations stem from his appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which is also nominated for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance.

What is of note about the nominations, particularly Song of the Year for “Not Like Us,” is that if the song wins, it would be the first-ever diss track to do so. According to the Grammys website, Lamar has been nominated for 57 awards and has received 17 wins, with his last ones being Best Rap Album for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, as well as Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for “The Heart Part 5” at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

As for Em, he’s nominated for Best Music Video and Best Rap Performance for his song, “Houdini,” as well as Best Rap Album for The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce).

The Grammys air on February 2, 2025.
