Mr. Speaker, unlike Donald Trump, I have no bacon or beef with Canada, but as an Angeleno I do have beef with a certain someone from The Six. That beef officially ended at the Grammys in my district on Saturday night. Kendrick Lamar put the final nail in ``Certified Lover Boy's'' coffin when he took home the first-ever Grammy for a diss track proving once and for all they ``Not Like Us.'' Kendrick took home one, two, three, four, five Grammys in 2025. That is not a minor feat. Kendrick wasn't the only one making Black history this February. Beyonce finally won Album of the Year after I expressed my grief about her being snubbed from this podium last year. She became the first Black woman to take home the award this century and the first Black artist ever to win Best Country Album. Last Sunday was for the Grammys. This Sunday is for the Super Bowl where K. Dot will pop out and show what L.A. is all about once again. I won't be rooting for the Chiefs or the Eagles, but I won't turn the TV off for Kendrick either. ____________________
