The rapper’s album GNX earned him nods in major categories such as Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.
This marks the third time Kendrick has been nominated in all three top categories at once.
If he wins Album of the Year, it will be his first ever in that category.
His streak also continues, with five straight albums now nominated for Album of the Year a new record.
Other major nominees include Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, and Leon Thomas.
