At the 68th Grammy Awards, Kendrick won three awards, including Rap Performance (for Chains & Whips, on which he was a featured artist); Melodic Rap Performance (for Luther with SZA); and Rap Song (for tv off).
During his acceptance speech, the rapper paid tribute to Hip Hop, saying, "It is hip-hop as usual, man. I'm not good at talking about myself, but I express it through the music. It's an honor to be here. Hip-hop is going to always be right here. We are going to be in these suits looking good, having our folks with us. We are going to be having the culture with us. So I appreciate y'all. God is to glory. Love y'all."
Tyla won the Grammy for Best African Music Performance for her track Push 2 Start. Following her win, the singer proudly showed off her Grammy to the media on the red carpet, waving the South African flag as she posed with the award.
Bad Bunny, who won Best Global Music Performance for EoO and Album of the Year for Debà Tirar Más Fotos, took a bold stand against ICE during his acceptance speech. His powerful message resonated strongly with the audience, earning him a standing ovation as he said, "Before I say thanks to god, I’m going to say ICE out. We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."
He went on to explain that hate only grows when people respond with more hate.
Further, he urged people to choose a different path, saying, "We need to be different. We fight. We have to do it with love. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love. Don’t forget that."
