The Recording Academy released the official list of Grammy Award nominees on Friday, November 8, 2024 for the event scheduled to take place in February 2025.

Lamar, who is one of the most highly represented hip-hop artists in the Grammys, has been nominated for five awards for his chart topping single, Not Like Us, including Song Of The Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, Record Of The Year and Best Music Video.

Not Like Us follows the longing feud between Lamar and Drake having been a tumultuous year for both rappers as they have thrown jabs at one another with serious allegations.

Their feud dates back to the early 2010s which further escalated after Lamar’s release of “Like That” featuring fellow rapper Future and hit producer Metro Boomin.

Back in March, Lamar dissed rapper J. Cole and Drake in the song as a response to Drake and J. Cole’s 2023 song “First Person Shooter” where Cole claims that he, Drake, and Lamar are the “big three” in today’s rap music.

In April, Cole responded to Lamar on the diss track “7 Minute Drill” but in the week following its release, Cole apologized for the song and removed it from streaming services.

Drake then released the songs ‘Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle”. The song was later deleted from social media over copyright concerns in respect to late hip hop legend Tupac Shakur.

In response, Lamar released “Euphoria” on April 30th and “6:16 in LA” in which Drake later released “Family Matters” where Drake accused Lamar of being a domestic abuser and alleging that one of Lamar’s children was fathered by record producer Dave Free.

Less than an hour later, Lamar released “Meet The Grahams” where he accuses Drake of sex trafficking allegations and fathering a second secret child.

Lamar then released “Not Like Us” accusing the rapper of generally disrespecting the rap scene.

Several critics have described Lamar winning the feud in popular consensus. Meanwhile some commentators have both praised and criticized both rappers for the way they made and responded to each other’s accusations.

Aside from the feud, Lamar is expected to perform at the 2025 Superbowl Halftime Show as the headliner in New Orleans come February.
