When Kendrick Lamar snagged major wins at the Grammys, it didn’t sit well with everyone – Trick Daddy being one of the vocal critics.
The recent Grammy Awards saw Kendrick Lamar taking home some prestigious titles, but not everyone in the music community was cheering. Trick Daddy, during a 103.5 The Beat Miami radio show broadcast, expressed his dissatisfaction with Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us” being crowned as Song of the Year.
Trick Daddy questioned the decision, emphasizing that Kendrick and Drake’s rivalry has been blown out of proportion by the music industry. He firmly believes there’s no real competition between them because they are so different in style and persona. “Kendrick Lamar could never stand next to Drake. Everybody knows that,” he asserted, suggesting the music scene should shed the focus on beef altogether.
Trick Daddy didn’t stop at his critique of the Grammy decisions. He used his platform to drop a nugget of wisdom for up-and-coming artists, urging them to steer clear of unnecessary feuds. “Do your thing,” he advised. Meanwhile, Trick Daddy didn’t hold back his admiration for Beyonce, congratulating her for winning Album of the Year with her country album, Cowboy Carter. He described her as “the baddest performer ever to hit the stage,” showing respect where he felt it was due.
In what might seem like a recurring theme, Trick Daddy has not shied away from making bold statements. He recently took to defending artists involved in Donald Trump’s inaugural events, declaring that business decisions sometimes necessitate working with those one might not agree with personally. “It’s not nothing personal when it’s your business,” he stated, as he laid out the pragmatic side of the entertainment industry.
Trick Daddy’s comments highlight a larger conversation in the music industry about competitiveness and the sometimes subjective nature of awards. While fans and artists alike have their opinions, the debate over who truly deserves accolades like Grammys continues unabated.
Trick Daddy’s take on the recent Grammy Awards is a reminder of the diverse opinions in the music world. While he disagrees with some outcomes, his remarks spark a conversation on the nature of competition and success in the industry.
