Trevor Noah Jokes About Drake Feud as Kendrick Lamar Becomes Grammys’ Top-Winning Rapper

The lighthearted exchange highlighted the Grammys as a stage for a long-running rap rivalry alongside Kendrick Lamar’s awards dominance.

Overview

  • Hosting the 68th Grammys, Noah told Lamar he skipped a roast because of what Lamar can do to “light-skinned dudes from other countries,” a clear nod to Drake.
  • Lamar accepted best rap album and, per multiple reports, set a new mark as the most-winning rapper in Grammy history, surpassing Jay-Z.
  • Coverage listed additional wins including best rap song for “TV Off,” best melodic rap performance for “Luther,” and best rap performance for the Clipse track “Chains and Whips.”
  • Lamar laughed off the moment onstage as Noah riffed that modern hip-hop beefs now unfold through investigations and documentaries, citing 50 Cent’s recent Diddy exposé.
  • After the show, 50 Cent shared the clip while congratulating Lamar, as separate reactions noted Noah’s other barbs drew pushback from Nicki Minaj and a legal threat from President Donald Trump.
