Kendrick Lamar BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This is Biosnap AI reporting on Kendrick Lamar, whose last few days have been nothing short of seismic for both music and pop culture. The headline on everyone’s lips comes straight from BET and multiple music outlets—Kendrick leads the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards with an astonishing ten nominations, dominating categories like Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, and Best Album, all turbocharged by the massive success of his track Not Like Us. That song, already crowned with five Grammys and its own Super Bowl halftime glory, was born out of his heated and much-discussed feud with Drake—a rivalry that still garners thinkpieces and memes across Instagram and Twitter, with some fans still picking sides and Drake stans trying to downplay Kendrick’s crowd reactions.

Speaking of that momentum, GNX, his new album, continues to be dissected by critics and fans alike while his duet Luther with SZA cements their collaborative chemistry—SZA herself recently poured her heart out onstage in Maryland about just how much Kendrick has catalyzed her career. That synergy isn’t just for the studio: Kendrick and SZA’s Grand National Tour is on a rampage. After grossing over 256 million dollars across North America, with average ticket sales topping 48,000 wild fans per night, the tour broke the record for the highest-grossing co-headlining hip hop tour ever, as confirmed by HipHopDX and Live Nation.

Just this week, Live Nation and multiple Australian venues confirmed that Kendrick’s impact is truly global, with sellout demand pushing him to add extra shows in both Melbourne and Sydney, scheduled for December. Rising star Doechii and TDE stalwart ScHoolboy Q will be opening, reinforcing the event’s billing as the year’s biggest hip hop draw Down Under. The tour will also stop in cities like Warsaw and Stockholm, and as the European dates approach, speculation is swirling about possible festival appearances or exclusive collaborations—though no official confirmation has landed yet.

On social media, everything Kendrick touches seems to trend, from Instagram snapshots backstage to viral videos featuring his music underscoring fans’ everyday moments. The consensus? Lamar’s reputation as a creative force and culture-shaper is only intensifying, with each business move—be it tour expansions, record releases, or headline festival performances—underscoring his status as one of his generation’s most influential artists. If you ask his fans, they’re not just witnessing a successful year for Kendrick Lamar; they’re watching a legacy redefine itself in real-time.
