Ten years after Kehlani first graced the GRAMMYs’ nomination roster with her 2016 project ‘You Should Be Here,’ the R&B diva can finally boast being the owner of one of the prestigious awards.
Thanks to her 2025 top 10 Hot 100 smash ‘Folded‘ (the first of her career), the songstress boasted a double GRAMMY win at Sunday’s ceremony (February 1).
Taking home two of the two trophies she was up for, K captured Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song golden gramophones – defeating major acts like Chris Brown and Summer Walker in both categories.
See her politically charged acceptance speech below.
