Lil Durk and J. Cole took home the award for Best Melodic Rap Performance for their collaboration, "All My Life," at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday night. Together, they beat out fellow nominees Doja Cat (“Attention”), Burna Boy and 21 Savage (“Sittin’ on top of the World”), Drake and 21 Savage (“Spin Bout U”), and SZA (“Low”). It makes Durk's first-ever Grammy win and Cole’s second.
Fans on social media were happy with the result. Responding to the Recording Academy's announcement on Twitter, one user wrote: "Lidurk deserves it. Kudos. Hard work pay." Several others remarked that it was "well deserved."

Durk previously discussed the collaborations with Cole during an interview with The Nadeska Show, last July. He described the rapper as a "legend." “He went super crazy,” Durk said at the time. “It’s so crazy because we’d been talking for like, two years, and he’d always be like, ‘Send me a record.’ And I’m like, ‘I gotta find the right record.’ I’m glad I waited two years. In my eyes he a legend. If you have a chance to do a song with a legend, it be like, will you send them something just to send it, just to say you got one, or you gone make it stick. So that’s why I never just sent him a record. Cause I’m like, ‘I want something that’s gon’ stick.’ As soon as I did the record, he was the first person to pop in my head. Like, I got it. I believe in timing. Timing is everything.”
