"Rest in paradise my aunt Sharon she transitioned yesterday so this is special right now," he said.

Kendrick Lamar returned to the podium shortly afterward to accept the award for Song of the Year from presenter Diana Ross. Lamar was accompanied by Mustard and his business partner Dave Free as he shouted out Ab-Soul, Jay Rock and JAY-Z, who was in the audience when he won. Prior to the live broadcast, Kendrick Lamar's diss track aimed at Drake took home other awards including Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video. Kendrick Lamar has 22 trophies thus far. With JAY-Z and Ye tied at 24, the pgLang co-founder is on his way to becoming the most-awarded rapper of all time, especially if his GNX album is nominated next year.

There were plenty of celebrities in the crowd who were turning up while Kendrick Lamar's award-winning song played inside the Crypto.com Arena including Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, who was spotted shouting the "A Minorrrrr" line along with the rest of the crowd.
