Kendrick Lamar stopped his fans from saying the n-word

News24xx.com - During his concert at the Hangout Festival in Alabama, Kendrick Lamar invited a fan, who identified herself as “Delaney,” to sing M.A.A.D City with him. But Kendrick stopped her when she repeatedly used the offensive N-word in his songs and caused the crowd to get angry.

“You gotta bleep one single word,” he said to her.

“Am I not cool enough for you, bro?” she replied, not knowing the reason she was reprimanded.

The crowd booed at her, for saying the taboo racial word.

She apologized, saying “Oh I’m sorry, did I do it?” Despite the crowd protesting her, Lamar gave her a second chance to sing.

Kendrick had been searching for a fan that could rap his song M.A.A.D City along with him. One of them was Rohan, who omitted the N-word in the song thoroughly.

The N-word, is a racial slur that used by some people to refer to black people. Although there are some black descents who use this word, it is considered taboo for other races to say it. After this incident, some people are questioning whether it is acceptable or not for white people to sing the N-word.

“If you use the word... and you’re not of any black heritage, in this modern day world, be prepared to face a backlash,” said South London grime artist Yizzy, as cited from BBC.

However, journalist and blogger Jessica Noah Morley defended it. “If you don’t want people to sing an offensive word, it should not be sung or included in the song in the first place. We, myself included, have to be careful about being hypocritical and implementing a double standard when it comes to race relations. The N-word is, and will always be, offensive, no matter who says it,” she said.

Some people reacted differently to what happened in the concert. Others said that expecting Delaney to omit the word that exists in Kendrick’s own song was unfair. However, there are some who agree with Kendrick’s decision to stop her.
