Kendrick Lamar Leads iHeart Nominations

Kendrick Lamar is absolutely running the game right now and 2026 is looking scary for everyone

else. The nominations for the iHeartRadio Music Awards just dropped and K-Dot

is sweeping the board with five massive nods. He is gunning for the big one with

Artist of the Year and Hip-Hop Artist of the Year. It is not just solo glory either because

that track luther with SZA is up for Song of the Year, Best Collaboration, and Hip-Hop Song

of the Year. He is going toe to toe with pop giants like Taylor Swift and The Weeknd,

which is wild. This victory lap makes perfect sense considering GNX was the most streamed

rap album of 2025 and his tour with SZA pulled in nearly three hundred seventy million dollars.
