Grammy 2026: Kendrick Lamar’s 'Five-Star' Night Reshapes Hip-Hop History
1 / 2
The 2026 Grammy Awards will go down in history as the "Kendrick Era." On February 4, 2026, Kendrick Lamar achieved a rare feat, taking home five golden gramophones. His win for Record of the Year was the emotional peak of the night, following a performance that critics are calling "the most important 10 minutes in the history of televised hip-hop."
A Night of Icons
While Kendrick was the undisputed king, the night also celebrated veterans. The Cure and Nine Inch Nails secured major wins, while Lauryn Hill delivered a soul-stirring tribute to Roberta Flack that brought the entire arena to its feet.
Kendrick's Message
"It isn't about the trophy; it's about the longevity of the message," Lamar said, holding the golden gramophone. "We are still here. We are still telling our stories. And the world is still listening."
