Grammy Wins for Folded

The 2025 single Folded reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 2026, their first top 10 hit on that chart. At the 68th Grammy Awards it won both Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song.

The Recording Academy has since renamed that category Best R&B Solo Performance. The change takes effect for the 69th Grammy Awards in February 2027, alongside a new category for R&B collaborations, duos and groups.

Folded also gave them a first number one on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, where it stayed on top for five weeks. With those two wins, the Recording Academy lists seven nominations across their career. Billboard added that Folded spent 15 weeks at number one on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, one week short of the record held by Future’s Wait for U.

Earlier nods include Best R&B Performance for Distraction at the 2018 ceremony. At the 67th ceremony they were up for Best Progressive R&B Album for Crash, Best R&B Song for After Hours and Best Melodic Rap Performance for KEHLANI, a collaboration with Jordan Adetunji.

Oakland Roots and PopLyfe

Before the solo career, Kehlani sang with PopLyfe, an Oakland teen band whose members were students at the Oakland School of the Arts. The group reached the 2011 finale of America’s Got Talent on NBC but missed out on the grand prize.

The band included children of Tony! Toni! Toné! singer D’Wayne Wiggins and jazz drummer Ranzel Merritt. The $1 million prize that season went to singer Landau Eugene Murphy Jr.

They released the mixtapes Cloud 19 in 2014 and You Should Be Here in 2015. You Should Be Here earned a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary Album. It and the 2019 mixtape While We Wait are both certified gold by the RIAA.

Albums Before 2026

After signing with Atlantic Records they released their debut album in 2017, and it reached number three on the Billboard 200. It Was Good Until It Wasn’t followed in 2020 and peaked at number two.

Billboard notes that both of those records stopped at number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, in February 2017 and May 2020, a near miss that lasted almost a decade. Blue Water Road came out in 2022 and Crash in 2024.

The Self Titled Album

Their self titled fifth album, Kehlani, arrived on 24 April 2026 through Tsunami Mob and Atlantic. It opened with 69,000 equivalent album units in the United States, debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 and finally gave them a number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Billboard broke that first week down as 45,000 units from streaming, drawn from more than 45 million on demand streams, and 24,000 from album sales. It also became their fourth number one on Top R&B Albums and extended a run of seven straight top 10 releases on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.

For readers new to chart terms, Billboard counts one unit as one album sale, 10 tracks sold from the album, or a set number of streams, either 1,000 paid or 2,500 ad supported plays of songs from the album.

Guests on the record include Usher, Lil Wayne, Brandy, Clipse, Cardi B and Big Sean. Shoulda Never with Usher entered Hot R&B Songs at number 11 and Anotha Lova with Lil Wayne at number 14, while I Need You with Brandy and Pocket with Cardi B also charted that week.

With so many new entries, Kehlani reached 60 career appearances on Hot R&B Songs, where Folded led a group of 12 of their songs that week.

Hot R&B Songs is a 25 position chart that was 13 years old at the time. Ten of those 12 songs were new entries, and Folded sat at number two after its five weeks at the top. Other features to chart that week were No Such Thing with Clipse at 20, Sweet Nuthins with Leon Thomas at 23 and Lights On with Big Sean at 24.

A few days after release, on 29 April in Los Angeles, Billboard presented them with its Impact honour at the 2026 Women in Music event. Out the Window, released ahead of the album, had already reached number seven on Hot R&B Songs.
