Not only did Childish Gambino make music video history with this clip for This Is America, but now he's made award show history too. Taking home the Song Of The Year at this year's Grammys, Donald Glover has also become the first rapper to take home the coveted award.

Up against Ella Mai's Boo'd, Kendrick Lamar and SZA's All The Stars, Drake's God's Plan, Shawn Mendes' In My Blood, Brandi Carlile's The Joke, Zedd and Maren Morris' The Middle and Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's Shallow, Gambino also took home the Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Performance and Best Music Video.

And he isn't even at the Grammys to pick up his accolades - it's the first time a living winner hasn't shown up to accept one of the four major Grammys since 1989.

He's still up for the biggest award of the night, Record Of The Year.
