Eminem Beats Out Kendrick Lamar For Hip-Hop Awards At 2025 AMAs, Social Media Reacts
In one of the most talked-about moments of the 2025 American Music Awards, Eminem emerged victorious in two of the show's biggest Hip-Hop categories, beating out fellow rap titan Kendrick Lamar in surprising fashion. The Detroit legend took home Favorite Hip Hop Artist and Favorite Hip Hop Album, an outcome that left many fans stunned and taking social media by storm. While Kendrick was widely expected to dominate the Hip-Hop field — especially with the critical and commercial success of his 2024 releases — Eminem's wins reignited long-standing debates regarding who voters favor when choosing the winners of mainstream awards. Online reactions were swift and heated, with many expressing their belief that Lamar had been unfairly overlooked. However, Lamar did not leave empty-handed. His culture-shifting single 'Not Like Us' earned the trophy for Favorite Hip Hop Song, marking a significant win amid a string of tough losses in other major categories. Despite being a top contender, Kendrick Lamar came up short in Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year — all of which went to Billie Eilish. Additionally, his collaborative hit 'Luther' with SZA lost Collaboration of the Year to Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga's chart-topping duet 'Die With A Smile', which also beat 'Not Like Us' in the Favorite Music Video category. The 2025 American Music Awards took place Monday, May 26, at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas. Leading the pack in nominations were Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Bad Bunny, each representing different genres while battling for the night's top honors. Though Kendrick didn't sweep as many categories as expected, his impact on the year's music scene remained undeniable — even in the face of some tough AMA losses.

‘Luther' Ties ‘Not Like Us' for Most Weeks at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart
Barely three months after his 'Not Like Us' shattered the mark as the longest-running No. 1 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, Kendrick Lamar is back for another stab at the record books. Lamar's 'Luther' collaboration with frequent collaborator (and current Grand National co-headliner) SZA captures a record-tying 22nd week at No. 1 on the multi-metric Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart dated May 31, matching 'Not Like Us' for the all-time mark since the chart became a singular, all-encompassing genre ranking in October 1958. 'Not Like Us' rang up 21 weeks in charge in 2024 amid its moment in Lamar's diss track war with Drake, and rebounded for a 22nd frame in February after Lamar's performance of the song during the halftime show of Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9.

As 'Luther' shares the gold medal, here's a look at the songs the most weeks at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in its 66-year history: Most Weeks at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs: 22, 'Luther,' Kendrick Lamar & SZA, 2024-2522, 'Not Like Us,' Kendrick Lamar, 2024-2521, 'Kill Bill,' SZA, 2022-2320, 'Old Town Road,' Lil Nas X feat.

T.I. + Pharrell, 201315, 'Be Without You,' Mary J. Blige, 2006 For its 22nd week in charge, 'Luther' registered 16.7 million official United States streams, 2,000 sales downloads and 60.5 million in airplay audience in the tracking week of May 16-22, according to Luminate, declines of 8%, 6% and 4%, respectively, in each metric. Mirroring its Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs triumph, 'Luther' achieves a 22nd week at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart. The melodic rap cut remains in second place for the longest stay at the summit in the chart's 35-year history, trailing only 'Not Like Us' and its 26-week record. While 'Luther' extends its domination on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, it surrenders the top spot on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 to Morgan Wallen's 'What I Want,' featuring Tate McRae. The new champ clips the 'Luther' reign at 13 weeks – still, easily the longest-running No. 1 for both Lamar and SZA atop the flagship chart.

Kendrick Lamar Proves That No One Can Do It Like He Can — Again
Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "Luther" ties the rapper's own Billboard record with 22 weeks at No. 1 on ... More the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 13: Kendrick Lamar performs in the Pepsi Halftime Show during the NFL Super Bowl LVI football game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on February 13, 2022 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by) After a 13-week reign on the Hot 100, 'Luther,' the collaboration between Kendrick Lamar and SZA, has been replaced in the top spot by Morgan Wallen and Tate McRae. Their joint effort, 'What I Want,' debuts at No. 1, earning the country star another champion and McRae her first. While 'Luther' may have fallen from the summit of the Hot 100, it's still commanding on several other Billboard rankings. The track continues to hold at No. 1 on some of the company's genre-specific tallies, and as it leads one roster, Lamar makes history once again, becoming the only artist to achieve a rare feat – again, that is. 'Luther' is once again in charge of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where the duet has now ruled for 22 weeks. As it keeps in first place, the tune ties the all-time record for the most time spent at No. 1 on that ranking. Lamar's SZA collaboration matches a best showing that was first set just a few months ago. Now, 'Luther' is on the same level as Lamar's 'Not Like Us,' as both are tied as the longest-running No. 1s in the history of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. Lamar had already been in a league of his own thanks to his Drake diss track, which won both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys and ruled this list for 22 frames, ending its stay at the top earlier in 2025. Now, he's matched his own best performance. There's a strong chance 'Luther' will continue to reign, potentially earning a twenty-third stay at the summit when Billboard updates its rankings again in just a few days. Just last week, 'Luther' was tied with 'Kill Bill' by SZA as the second-longest-running leader ever on this roster. Now that it has matched 'Not Like Us,' 'Kill Bill' shifts into third place on the all-time list. That movement means SZA is now responsible for two of the three sturdiest champions in the chart's history. 'Luther' is still a massive hit across the Billboard charts, and it lives inside the top 10 on many rosters. In addition to the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally, the Lamar-led track also rules the Hot Rap Songs chart for a twenty-second week. It's only the second team-up to reach that milestone — and it still has a month to go before potentially matching the 26-week record held by 'Not Like Us,' which controlled the roster for exactly half a year.
