Aside from losing bets, many fans believe the Toronto native lost a rap battle against Kendrick Lamar. Lamar was officially deemed the winner after the release of his diss track "Not Like Us," which reached No. 1 on the Billboard 100.
"Not Like Us" may be the first diss track ever to win a Grammy Award. Harvey Mason, the CEO of the Recording Academy, spoke to 'TMZ' about the song's prospects.
"I think the voting members of the academy appreciate greatness, appreciate what's hot [and] what's going on," Mason said. "That's a relevant record. It's impacting on so many levels with so much creativity and talent. I like to believe that the Academy members recognize that. They do, appropriately."
