Kendrick Lamar interrupts white fan after she raps the N-word on stage
The New York Daily News ^ | 05/21/18 | Rachel DeSantis

Kendrick Lamar was forced to step in after the white female fan he invited up on stage at a music festival dropped the N-word three times while rapping along to the star's song.

Lamar, 30, was in the middle of his Sunday night set at the Hangout Music Festival in Alabama when he invited several lucky fans on stage to join him in performing his 2012 track "m.A.A.d city."

After a concertgoer named Rohan "killed it," as one Twitter user said, and respectfully avoided rapping the racial slur, a young attendee named Delaney hopped on stage to join Lamar.

Delaney skipped the word the first time it came up, but failed to censor herself on the second, third and fourth times, prompting an audible groan from the crowd.

Lamar quickly cut the music, and repeatedly said, "Wait" after the third N-word left Delaney's mouth.

Am I not cool enough for you, what's up, bro?" she said, eliciting boos and foul language from the audience.

"My boy Rohan kinda knew the rules a little bit," Lamar explained. "You gotta bleep one single word, though."

Delaney quickly apologized and questioned whether she'd actually said the word - to which the Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper confirmed that, yes, she did.

Lamar asked the crowd if he should give Delaney another shot and, despite the resounding boos, he did, after double-checking with her that the slip-up wouldn't happen again.

Delaney did skip the word for the second go-round, but the rapper still opted to cut her time on stage short.

A concertgoer who filmed the performance and shared it on Twitter explained that part of the reason the crowd was so angry was because Delaney had been "begging" to join Lamar on stage.

"Kendrick asked her if she was sure and she said yes… so like… don't blame Kendrick. This girl just has no filter," the Twitter user wrote.

The fan added that the vibe was "so off," and that the rapper followed up the encounter with his track, "Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe."

So only people of one color can say “nigger”? Sounds racist.

Kendrick Lamar can say it, you can't, Delaney.

I thought Kendrick Lamar was a basketball player.

That's Lamar Odom.

I made the same mistake.

But that's okay?

It’s his show, and during his show, he controls the stage as well as the microphone.

It’s not a feee speech zone.

However, Lamar is an idiot for bringing people up on stage and giving them a microphone.

Apparently it is okay for Qutie Tarantino to write it in his works.

His Pulitzer Prize winning lyrics:

"i"

I done been through a whole lot
Trial, tribulation, but I know God
The Devil wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don't go dry
As I look around me
So many motherf-----s wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me

And (I love myself)
When you lookin' at me, tell me what do you see?
(I love myself)
Ahh, I put a bullet in the back of the back of the head of the police
(I love myself)
Illuminated-
All ya'll come to the front
(I love myself)
One day at a time, tryna go shine

Agreed. Tell butthurt for me that he should not put words in his song that people who like his song can not sing along with, or karaoke to at a bar!

These black racist morons are so passé.

I have said it before, Kendrick Lamar should have been arrested for murdering Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” music video.

So he wrote the song, he sings a song, and then he invites her up to sing it and he complains that she sings it as written?

How much would it ruin the vibe if she replaced the word with “n-word?”

How does he know she doesn’t “identify” as black like a psycho who thinks he’s a girl or Talcum X? Or maybe she is half-black like Meghan Markle but looks white?

Actually, no, the fan who came onstage paid for both. If he puts it in a song, he shouldn’t be surprised when some fan sings along.

When purchasing a ticket to a concert, one does not have the right to go up on stage and sing.

Lamar is an idiot for inviting her on stage, but with that invitation, he retains editorial control of what is sang on that stage.

He is an idiot for inviting her on stage but has the right to disinvite her.

It’s Lamar’s stage and it’s Lamar’s microphone.

And he can use it to display his hypocrisy for the whole world to hear.

“And he can use it to display his hypocrisy for the whole world to hear.”

That’s exactly right.
