Obama is a big fan and friend of Kendrick Lamar
Former President Barack Obama is known to be a big hip hop follower and it is no surprise that he has something to say about the infamous clash between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
During a recent interview with influencer barber VicBlend’s DeepCut podcast, the ex-commander-in-chief was asked whether the beef strengthened K-Dot’s foothold in hip hop. “Kendrick is a friend of mine,” he replied. ” I’ve known him for a long time. He actually performed at the White House. I’m pretty confident in saying not many presidents were familiar with Hip Hop.
“I do think that Kendrick has a unique status right now, not just because of this summer. He’s not just gifted; he’s serious about the message he tries to… he digs deep into himself.”
