Tweet here.
EDIT: some context:
I believe you're aware of who Kendrick Lamar is, otherwise you wouldn't be in this thread.
XXXTENTACION, or X or even XXX, is a Florida rapper who's gained a lot of attention over the past year for his music and even more for his actions outside of it. He's namely been known for the fact he beat his pregnant ex-girlfriend viciously and was subsequently temporarily jailed for it. For many people, that's become his defining action.
The reason I posted this was because Kendrick, as a rapper, has built his brand partially on being socially aware and his endorsement of a known woman beater appears at odds with that. Like someone above said, Kendrick has mentioned in his work that he struggles with doing the right thing at times, and so, I'm curious to see how people interpret his endorsement of a controversial figure.
If people are wondering what X did,
Second tweet that implies he's listened to it at least 5 times.
Is this the beginning of Kendrick's downfall? Has Drake finally exacted his revenge for the subliminal disses? Or is this the work of Big Sean?
