The list of the 2025 Grammy Awards nominees has been announced, and Kendrick Lamar and Beyoncé are among those with the highest amount.

Last Friday (Nov. 8), the Recording Academy announced the list of nominees for the 67th annual Grammy Awards. Beyoncé and Kendrick Lamar stood out among the nominated artists, respectively, for their groundbreaking work during the nomination period of September 2023 to August 2024. The reading of the nominees in each category was helmed by CBS Morning’s host Gayle King and comedian Jim Gaffigan, who were joined by previous Grammy winners, which include last year’s Best New Artist winner Victoria Monét, Mark Ronson, and Hayley Williams of Paramore.

The fierce beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake will be publicly displayed once again as the Compton native’s hit song “Not Like Us” directed at his Canadian rival, was nominated for Song of the Year. It was also one of his two nominations for Best Rap Performance, the other being for his verse on “Like That” from Future and Metro Boomin. Kendrick Lamar has five total nominations, and Drake has none.
