The 2024 Grammy Awards are happening right now at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California, and Killer Mike took home the trophies for top rap categories.

Mike also won the awards for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his song “Scientists & Engineers”, which featured André 3000, Future, and Eryn Allen Kane. “Atlanta, it’s a sweep,” he said during acceptance of third award. “You cannot tell me that you get too old, you can’t tell me it’s too late, you can’t tell me dreams [don’t] come true. It is a sweep.”
The other artists in these categories were Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, 21 Savage, Coi Leray, Black Thought, Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar.
