The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards celebrated Hip Hop and R&B the way in which they need to be. On Monday (March 17) night time, the largest names in music gathered at Los Angeles’ Dolby Theater, with GloRilla, SZA, BossMan Dlow and plenty of extra taking residence awards.
Beginning with the coveted Hip Hop Artist of the Yr Award, GloRilla got here out victorious amongst her stiff competitors. The “TGIF” rapper was up towards Travis Scott, Drake, Future and Kendrick Lamar. Talking of the Compton native, his “Not Like Us” — which noticed 5 Grammy Award wins again in February — nabbed Hip Hop Music of the Yr.
As for the style’s Finest New Artist class, BossMan Dlow grew to become a first-time winner. Additionally vying for the award have been “rock your hips” hitmaker 310babii, BigXthaPlug, horny drill front-runner Money Cobain and Jordan Adetunji, who was seemingly positioned within the flawed nomination pool to start with.
When it got here to R&B Artist of the Yr, SZA secured the well-earned title following her chart-topping LANA launch and Lamar’s Tremendous Bowl LIX Halftime Present. She beat out Usher, Chris Brown, Muni Lengthy and Victoria Monét — all of whom had unimaginable runs final 12 months.
Finest New Artist for R&B went to 4batz, the Dallas crooner who gained many people over with 2023’s “act ii: date @ 8” and subsequent singles like “act iii: on god? (she like)” and “roll da cube.” In the meantime, Muni Lengthy took residence the R&B Music of the Yr award for “Made For Me,” one of many many ballads TikTok couldn’t get sufficient of in 2024.
It’s not typically that artists outdoors of the same old mainstream favorites get their flowers at main award exhibits, however the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, thankfully, gave them their due shine. Check out all of the Hip Hop and R&B winners under.
