The award went to Harry Styles for Harry's House just before Khaled's performance. "It breaks my heart," Khaled said as the performance — and the awards show — ended. Salute to the Academy."

JAY-Z joined DJ Khaled at the 2023 Grammys to perform their song "God Did," nominated for Song of the Year. Watch here.

Check out a clip of “God Did” below, and also peruse the [full list of winners](https://consequence.net/2023/02/2023-grammy-awards-winners-list-updating-live/) and our [live blog](https://consequence.net/2023/02/grammys-2023-memorable-moments/). This year, in addition to Song of the Year, the artist was included in the nomination for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for “God Did,” as well as Album of the Year and Song of the Year for his collaboration with Queen Bey (for Renaissance and “Break My Soul,” respectively). Following the ceremony’s final award, “God Did” collaborators Khaled, Hov, [Rick Ross](https://consequence.net/artist/rick-ross/), [Lil Wayne](https://consequence.net/artist/lil-wayne/), [John Legend](https://consequence.net/artist/john-legend/), and Fridayy finally linked up in the flesh. “Jesus turned water to wine, for Hov, it just took a stove,” JAY rapped on the verse, which traces his path after he “left the dope game with my record clean,’ and “turned the cocaína into champagne.” The performance translated those Biblical themes into a Last Supper-inspired set, with JAY-Z, like Jesus, taking center-stage. But let’s be honest, the song closed the Grammys because of the man who closed the song.

The eight-minute-long performance took place at a food-covered table reminiscent of the Last Supper.
