Clipse has won Best Rap Performance for “Chains and Whips,” their song with Kendrick Lamar and Pharrell Williams,” at the 2026 Grammys. The Let God Sort Em Out single was in competition with Cardi B’s “Outside,” Kendrick Lamar’s “TV Off” with Lefty Gunplay, Doechii’s “Anxiety,” and Tyler, the Creator’s Teezo Touchdown–assisted “Darling, I.” The duo were not on hand to accept the award.
Lamar has dominated the Best Rap Performance category since his 2015 win for the To Pimp a Butterfly single “I,” notching six more wins in the years since. That helped him to his massive lifetime tally of 22 Grammys before tonight’s GNX run, despite his lack of recognition in the Big Four categories until his ubiquitous Drake diss “Not Like Us” stole the show last year. That haul included a win in this category over two nominees he once again faced this year, Cardi B and Doechii. Clipse and Tyler, the Creator, meanwhile, got their first nods in the category this year. Both artists have several nominations—for Let God Sort Em Out and Chromakopia, respectively.
