Kendrick Lamar Performs In Chains At The Grammys






Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Grammy Awards will go down as one of the most unforgettable in recent history.

The rapper who was nominated in nine categories got on stage leading a group of men in chains and delivered a powerful rendition of “The Blacker the Berry”.

His performance was consistent with the theme of his “To Pimp A Butterfly” album, touching on racial inequality, police brutality and race relations in America.

His performance was divided into three parts, with the second being in front of a giant fire as he performed “Alright”, a Black Lives Matter anthem.

His third act saw him sporting a fake bruise above his left eye as he continued his fiery message.
