The tribute is also special because Nipsey is nominated for three Grammys at this year’s ceremony. He received posthumous nominations in the categories of, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for “Racks In The Middle” and Best Rap/Sung Performance for his collab with DJ Khaled, “Higher.”
In an official statement about the tribute, Grammy Awards executive producer, Ken Ehrlich, said this:
