One of the biggest four awards handed out every year at the GRAMMYs, the prestigious Record of the Year trophy has mostly eluded rappers over the ceremony’s 67-year history.

A losing streak broken in 2019 when Childish Gambino captured the award for his chart-topping hit ‘This Is America,’ no emcee has laid hands on the coveted golden gramophone since.

Well, that is until the 2025 iteration of the show.

A high-octane affair, the track is the latest taste of the Pop force’s forthcoming seventh studio album, ‘Mayhem’ (due March 7 via Interscope).

The choreography-heavy clip follows the visuals for #1 smash ‘Die With A Smile’ and ‘Disease.’

Thanks to a slew of DEI initiatives helmed by current Academy president Harvey Mason Jr., however, it appears Tesfaye finally had a change of heart.

Coming as the night’s surprise performer, the 4x GRAMMY winner took to the stage to unveil rocking live performances of hits ‘Cry for Me’ and ‘Timeless.’
