The Boy was decked in cream, not white, and delivered a performance alongside Lil Wayne. Making it more comfortable for him, no Kendrick Lamar music was played during the event.
According to TMZ, the house DJs stayed away from anything from Lamar.
And now Michael Rubin reveals he made that call. Appearing on The Breakfast Club, Rubin revealed that was his call. “I just didn’t think it was appropriate, so I said, ‘Hey, let’s not play anyone’s music that’s feuding with anyone here,’” Rubin said. “That was a me decision. I just thought it wasn’t the appropriate thing to do.”
