Kendrick Lamar was the big winner of Sunday (02.02.25) awards Grammy, taking five awards home.

This year, the ceremony was held in honor of Los Angeles and raising funds for the victims of the last fires, and Kendrick took the time to praise his hometown.
Taking the record of the year, he said, “What is happening? First, praise for the highest we woke up this morning. Dre, what’s up? What is there?
“We will dedicate the one to this city: Compton, Long Beach, Engel, Hollywood, in the Valley, San Bernardino, all this. This is my door to the forest that kept me from a young puppy as I was in the studio to write to write The best rape and all this to write like these.
“I can’t give enough thanks to those places that I was rolling from high school.
“Most importantly, people and families outside in the palisades and Altadena. It’s a real covenant that we can change and restore this city. Keep swinging. My mustard boy, where are you?”
