Daveed Diggs, the leader of the Sub Pop-signed rap group clipping., won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor In A Musical last night for his role in Hamilton. It was one of 11 wins in total for the Lin-Manuel Miranda-penned musical last night out of a total of 16 nominations. Diggs also won a Grammy Award earlier this year for Best Musical Theater Album for his participation in the soundtrack. That means he’s halfway to the coveted EGOT, and only needs an Oscar and an Emmy to complete the feat. Watch his Tony acceptance speech below.
