Kendrick Lamar thanked his family as well as his fans for the win, which is his second Best Rap Album Grammy following his 2018 win for DAMN.

“First and foremost, I would like to thank my family for giving me the courage and the vulnerability to share these stories and my truth with this album,” Kendrick Lamar said. “I want to thank my fans for trusting me with these words. As artists, we’re all entertainers. And we say things to provoke thoughts and feeling and emotions. Making this record, it’s one of my toughest records to make, and they allowed me to do that and allowed me to share other people’s experiences.”
