Kendrick Lamar kicks a white fan off stage for singing the N

[Shooby]

Fan backlash is mounting over an incident at a Kendrick Lamar concert, which some are calling a set-up intended to humiliate a fan for publicity.



Lamar was headlining the final night of the Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama on Sunday when he invited a white concertgoer named Delaney on stage to sing his song M.A.A.D City alongside him.



Just seconds into the song, Lamar cut the music and scolded the fan for singing the full lyrics of the song, which includes the N-word throughout.



Amid the outrage, some of it directed at Delaney, other fans are wondering if the Pulitzer Prize-winning singer intentionally set out to stir controversy and publicity by inviting a white fan to sing his lyrics.



Lamar's publicists did not immediately respond to requests for comment from DailyMail.com.

As a black person and a fan of Kendrick Lamar's, this was a stupid move by Kendrick. I don't know what he intended to gain by this or what he expected to happen. I know there are white people signing "N***A" along with a song that has the word in there - whatever. That is a world of difference away from going up to a black person and calling them the N word.

Pick your battles.

You say stupid move, I say dick move. Potayto, potahto.

This tired-ass socio-political game has been in existence for decades. But this is the first time I've seen someone play both sides of the game.

Side one: Throwing N-bombs is vulgar, offensive, and demeaning. Okay, fine. Makes perfect sense.

Side two: Because we're black, we can freely toss N-bombs because the only ones being offended would also be black, but if someone is not black they can't. Looks a bit sketchy from where I sit, but I guess that gives them some sort of privilege in their minds. Whatev.

So Mr Lamar writes a song with laced with N-bombs and invites someone who isn't black on stage to sing it with him. Then calls them out because they didn't 'bleep out' the offensive word. What a load.

Shooby , it's a bit of a stretch posting this in Music. Yes, there is a song and a concert involved. The the real subject is a socio-political dookie that really belongs with the rest of the dookies in P/CE. JMO

I wasn't sure where to post but I thought it was music related.  If the Mods wish to move it, then they may move it but I try to put threads under the proper category.  Sometimes there is overlap.

Maybe stop writing songs with the N word and then his white fans won't sing them.  Sheesh.
