Slim Shady tips K.Dot for Grammy dominance
Eminem is up against Kendrick Lamar in various categories at the upcoming Grammy Awards – but the Detroit legend believes K.Dot will sweep them all.
Em and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, chopped it up with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 for the Sirius XM channel’s 20th anniversary on Christmas Eve (December 24), and the topic of the award show came up.
“I mean, it’s very stiff competition,” Em said happily. “Kendrick’s gonna sweep that shit. He’s going to and he should.”
Kendrick received seven nominations at the show on February 2, and he will face Em in two of his three nominations for Best Music Video and Best Rap Performance.
A long-time supporter of Kendrick Lamar, Eminem previously praised K. Dot before they hit the stage together at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show in 2022.
When asked by Sway Calloway if he agrees that Kendrick is “the most electrifying vocalist of this generation,” Em replied, “I absolutely would agree. Kendrick is at the very top, top tier of lyricists — not just of this generation, but of all time.”
