This year's 2024 GRAMMY’s, Killer Mike received the trophy for Best Rap Album during the 66th annual Grammy Awards pre-show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif. Mike faced stiff competition from other rappers with notable albums including Drake and 21 Savage's Her Loss, Metro Boomin's Heroes & Villains, Nas' King's Disease III and Travis Scott's Utopia.
Killer Mike won three rap Grammys on Sunday (Feb. 4.) and told the audience: “You cannot tell me you get too old. You cannot tell me it’s too late.”
Mike won best rap album for Michael, while his song “Scientists and Engineers” won best rap performance and best rap song. On Twitter, the Recording Academy accidentally announced that Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s “Barbie World” won best rap song, though it went to Michael‘s track, which features Andre 3000, Future and Eryn Allen Kane.
“For all the people out there that think you get too old to rap, bullshit. I don’t give a damn if you’re 78 rapping about how many gals you got in the nursing home, make sure we keep hip-hop alive,” he said during the Grammys pre-show held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
