Kendrick Lamar made a special shoutout to Jay-Z during his acceptance speech for Best Rap Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. Before walking offstage, Lamar concluded his Grammy acceptance speech by saying, “Jay for President.” Lamar beat out Jay-Z as well as Tyler, the Creator, Migos and Rapsody in the Best Rap Album category. Lamar also honored Jay-Z in another part of his speech: “I got a lot of guys in this building right now that I still idolize to this day: Jay-Z, Nas, Puff.”
Lamar’s praise of Jay-Z is especially relevant at this moment. The rapper and music mogul was honored at the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala in New York on Saturday night where he received the 2018 Salute to Industry Icons Award. During his acceptance speech, Jay-Z called his wife Beyoncé the “First Lady of Music.”
