Killer Mike Wins Three Grammy Awards, Beats Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Nicki Minaj

Killer Mike won Grammys in all of the categories he was nominated for such as Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album for his 2023 studio album “Michael”. He beat rap’s biggest names like Drake, Kendrick Lamar and Nicki Minaj to win in all rap categories.

You cannot tell me that you get too old, you can’t tell me it’s too late, you can’t tell me dreams come true! It is a sweep, it is a sweep, it is a sweep!”
