Kendrick Lamar Nabs 8 Trophies At BET Hip Hop Awards 2024

It’s been a helluva 2024 for Kendrick Lamar. Not only did he drop one of the most contagious records in Hip-Hop history with “Not Like Us” (which decimated the popularity of his rival, Drake), but he’s also been chosen to headline the next Super Bowl Halftime Show, which will no doubt feature said record on a global stage.

As if that wasn’t bad enough (for Drake anyway), the now-classic diss record has gone on to collect all kinds of accolades for the Compton representative and helped Kung Fu Kenny clean up at last night’s BET Hip Hop Awards. The enormous popularity of “Not Like Us” led to K. Dot taking home trophies in categories such as “Song of the Year,” “Best Hip Hop Video,” “Impact Track,” and ultimately led to him winning “Hip Hop Artist of the Year.”

Kendrick even got “Best Guest Verse of the Year” for his bars on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” which actually kicked off his battle with Drake and J. Cole, who “gracefully” bowed out of the battle after releasing and retracting a diss record of his own.

Unfortunately, for fans, BET’s “Lyricist of the Year” winner wasn’t on hand for the festivities as he was out and about handling his business, but best believe fans weren’t mad as most felt he earned everyone of these trophies after a busy year that saw him and Drake release back-to-back-to-back hit diss records that had the culture on edge before Summer even starter. It was amazing.
