Kehlani Wins Best R&B Performance for “Folded” at 2026 Grammys

Kehlani has won Best R&B Performance, for “Folded,” at the 2026 Grammy Awards. They won out over songs by Chris Brown and Bryson Tiller (“It Depends”), Justin Bieber (“Yukon”), Leon Thomas (“Mutt [Live from NPR’s Tiny Desk]”), and Summer Walker (“Heart of a Woman”). This is Kehlani’s first Grammy win; she also won for Best R&B Song, again for “Folded,” later in the evening.

“I’ve never won anything before, this is a really crazy feeling,” said Kehlani while accepting the trophy. “My first time being nominated for a Grammy was 10 years ago. It’s been a really long time and nobody who has ever come along this journey with me I take for granted.” The singer also closed with a well-deserved “Fuck ICE.”
