After fellow industry heavy hitter Miley Cyrus called out Lamar as the recipient of the Record of the Year Award for his majorly popular song, “Not Like Us,” the musician made his way onto the stage to accept the trophy and give his speech, as the audience erupted into applause.
During the event, his name was called again as the winner of the Song of the Year Award for the same track. The award was presented by legendary singer Diana Ross, who revealed that Lamar had been picked as the winner by 13,000 voting members.
Further confirming Lamar’s victories were the announcements shared on X by the official account for the Grammys and the details listed on their website.
Kendrick Lamar managed to come out on top in these two categories even though he was up against the talented likes of Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and Billie Eilish, whom many social media users feel should have won instead.
“Record? DESERVED, but song [sic]? It should’ve been Billie!” expressed someone on X who accompanied their message with a snippet from Eilish’s beloved song, “BIRDS OF A FEATHER,” which was up for Record of the Year.
Someone else echoed, “BILLIE EILISH IS GETTING ROBBED😭😭,” while another person opined, “this didn’t deserve even 1 grammy ‘Birds of a Feather’ deserved it [sic].”

“billie eilish was snubbed bc wdym ‘birds of a feather’ didn’t win a single grammy [sic],” added another social media user who included a comical gif of Swift looking uncomfortable.
An X user who included fellow famous artist Sabrina Carpenter in the mix wrote, “Billie’s song ‘Birds of a Feather’ would have to be the biggest song of 2024 along with ‘Espresso’’and neither of them won?!?!?!?!?!?!” “TALENT WAS ROBBED. ‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’ lost in all the categories it was nominated for at the #GRAMMYs,” stated someone else.
Similar comments ensued, with yet another person asserting, “No way he’s beating Billie.” “Worst song ever,” penned an Instagrammer. More details concerning the story will follow shortly.
