Kendrick Lamar is returning to his throne as king of the Grammys, scoring nine nominations at the 2026 show, followed by Leon Thomas, who has six bids. Doechii, SZA, Clipse and Tyler, the Creator, are each up for five honors. At the same time, The Weeknd — who ended his four-year-long boycott of the awards by submitting to several categories — was severely snubbed with zero nominations.
