During a recent episode of his Flagrant podcast, Andrew Schulz issued a response to Kendrick Lamar seemingly calling him out on his new album, GNX. In the song “wacced out murals,” the Compton rapper mentions an unnamed white comedian making jokes about Black women. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps.
Schulz accused Kendrick of being a hypocrite and pointed out some of the times he’s worked with alleged predators in the past. He even went on to joke that he could rape the artist in a bizarre rant, leaving many social users outraged. This included Meek Mill, who took to X to share his thoughts on the rant last night. “White man saying they’ll rape black men openly is extreme … and then say it’s just a joke .., black manhood not a joke! I seen the same guys saying I was gay on his stand up! My white friends like it’s a joke! We don’t joke like that in the black community at all!!” he wrote.
Shortly after, Schulz fired back with a post of his own, sharing a screenshot of Meek laughing at jokes about his sexuality in a separate tweet. “The first time I laughed at being gay…. But don’t wit me in real life I may swing lol,” Meek had written at the time. “You seemed to like it,” Schulz captioned the screenshot.
Meek was far from the only person who thought Schulz crossed the line, however. As clips of his rant made their rounds online, several other users criticized him, arguing that his comments were strange and unwarranted. O’Shea Jackson Jr hopped on X to call Schulz a “Weird ass n***a,” for example, noting how he feels like Schulz has changed for the worse. “Man how people change on some weird sh*t,” he wrote.
Meek Mill’s music has not exactly been lighting up the world. The Philadelphia rapper’s personal life has become more of a talking point than his music. His association with Diddy has led many to question what he knows about the disgraced mogul. Then there are his tweets, in which he tackles everything from the recent election to the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. Meek Mill decided to chime in on the recent beef between Lamar and another opponent, comedian Andrew Schulz.
Andrew Schulz responded to an alleged diss from Kendrick Lamar’s album with some aggressive jokes. He claimed that he could easily overpower Lamar by sexually assaulting him if he so chose. He also said that Lamar was a hypocrite for defending Black women while working with controversial abusers like R. Kelly and Kodak Black. Meek Mill was not a fan of these jokes. “White man saying they’ll rape black men openly is extreme,” the rapper explained. “And then say it’s just a joke. Black manhood not a joke!” Meek Mill is familiar with Schulz’s comedy material.
Andrew Schulz Previously Targeted Meek Mill’s Sexuality
He was actually targeted by Schulz due to his connection with Diddy. Which is something he addressed in his tweet. “I seen the same guys saying I was gay on his stand up,” Meek Mill added. “My white friends like it’s a joke! We don’t joke like that in the black community at all.” Meek may be critical of Schulz and his propensity for joking about Black celebrities. That said, the rapper took a much lighter approach to the jokes made at his expense in March.
“The first time I laughed at being gay,” the rapper tweeted. “But don’t wit me in real life I may swing lol.” Meek Mill joins a long list of rappers and hip hop figures who have dissed Andrew Schulz for his K. Dot remarks. TDE President Punch was confused as to where the humor was in Schulz’s joke. “Did my guy say he want to sleep with Dot??,” he asked. Peter Rosenberg, meanwhile, ridiculed the comic for talking about topics he knows nothing about. “Acting like K Dot is 2 live crew,” the Hot 97 host noted. “[It] shows Schulz doesn’t actually like or understand hip hop…”
Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., called out Andrew Schulz for his disturbing rant about being able to rape Kendrick Lamar during a recent episode of the Flagrant podcast. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), O’Shea responded to the comments by labeling the comedian a “weird ass n***a.”
“Weird ass n***a,” O’Shea wrote in one post, before adding in another: “Man how people change on some weird sh*t. I was a fan.” Fans joined in agreement in the replies. “The n***a corny as hell let his politics become his identity bruh is 2 disses from becoming Micheal Rappaport,” one user wrote back to the actor. One more added: “Andrew deff hides racism behind the guise of being a comedian.”

Schulz was upset with Lamar for calling him out on his new album, GNX. On the track, “wacced out murals,” he raps: “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law.” Schulz responded on his podcast: “Nobody has respected women more, through art, than rappers. So I completely understand how a rapper could look at a comedian telling a joke and be like, ‘Yo y’all need to switch that sh*t up.’ How dare y’all keep saying your wives are annoying?” From there, he went on a strange rant about being able to take advantage of Lamar. “I would make love to him and there’s nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar,” he said. “I would make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not. That’s the only thing he could do. If it’s me and Kendrick, it’s about physics. I don’t even know if I’ll get hard.”
O’Shea Jackson Jr. Calls Out Andrew Schulz
O’Shea isn’t the only one to call out Schulz so far. TDE’s Punch, Peter Rosenberg, and more have condemned the comments. Check out O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s response to Andrew Schulz below.
Kendrick Lamar vs. Andrew Schulz is not a feud we saw coming. The former dissed white comedians who mock Black women on his new album, GNX. Many interpreted Schulz as the target of this general diss, including Schulz himself. He decided to make fun of Kendrick Lamar’s size, and claim that he could easily sexually assault him if he wanted. The comedian also pointed out that the rapper has stood up for Black women despite co-signing controversial artists like Kodak Black and R. Kelly. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the hip hop world piled on Schulz.
Punch, TDE President and Lamar’s former label boss, got on Twitter to question the comedian’s comments. He also alluded to the biased way he feels Andrew Schulz looks at rappers. “Wait,” Punch tweeted. “I know as a Blackman [sic] who’s involved in Hip Hop Music, that we are a bit slow and don’t really understand sarcasm and humor. But did my guy say he want to sleep with Dot??.” Andrew Schulz also got bashed by Peter Rosenberg. The Hot 97 host claimed that the comedian was operating in a vein not dissimilar to conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly.
Andrew Schulz Was Criticized For His Offensive Comments
Especially, in Rosenberg’s opinion, when it came to the joke about hip hop being misogynistic. “Schulz is no different than Bill O’ Reilly,” the host opined. “Acting like K Dot is 2 live crew. [It] shows Schulz doesn’t actually like or understand hip hop…” Peter Rosenberg also urged hip hop fans to not liken him to Schulz based on the color of their skin. “Not all white guys are built the same,” he stated. “For some of us black culture is not wacky fodder or a means to an end.” Rosenberg dubbed Shulz’s take to be “painfully bad” and questioned why his affiliation with Charlamagne has given him the right to speak on hip hop culture.
The critiques continued once O’Shea Jackson, Jr. got on Twitter. Ice Cube’s son stated, simply, that Andrew Schulz is “weird.” In a follow up tweet, he lamented the fact that the comedian has leaned into politically incorrect humor as a means of catering to his fanbase. “Man how people change on some weird sh*t,” Jackson wrote. “I was a fan.”
Andrew Schulz went on a disturbing rant about Kendrick Lamar during the latest episode of his Flagrant podcast, bragging that he’d be able to rape the “Not Like Us” rapper. The comments come after Lamar called him out on his new album, GNX. A clip of the rant is going viral on social media as fans condemn Schulz’s antics.
“I would make love to him and there’s nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar. I would make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not,” Schulz began. “That’s the only thing he could do. If it’s me and Kendrick, it’s about physics. I don’t even know if I’ll get hard. But, if we’re in a cell, and we’re bored and we’re done tattooing each other– whatever you do in a cell, and we ran out of board games and we did all the other things, and we cleaned everything, and I’m like, ‘Man, I might as well f*ck you.’ There’s nothing he can physically do to stop that. I’d put his legs in the air and choose a position.” From there, they pulled up a picture of Lamar standing next to Taylor Swift and continued berating him.

The comments are resulting in plenty of backlash on social media. “He’s gonna get his ass whooped for this,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. Another added: “Least funny person of all time. Just weird for the sake of being weird.” One fan called out Schulz’s co-hosts for laughing throughout his rant. “What is it about Andrew Schulz that make people fake laugh and clam up around him? Bro said he’d rape Kendrick multiple times and they just giggling. That’s insane,” they wrote.
Andrew Schulz Goes Off On Kendrick Lamar
Lamar made reference to Schulz on the GNX track, “wacced out murals,” by rapping: “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law.” Schulz previously responded to the remark by labeling Lamar “too woke.” Check out the full video of Andrew Schulz taunting Kendrick Lamar below.
Last month, Kendrick Lamar took fans by surprise by unleashing his new album GNX with zero notice. Immediately, listeners got to work picking apart the lyrics of each song, including “wacced out murals.” On it, Kendrick calls out an unnamed white comedian for making jokes about Black women, leaving fans to speculate. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps.
Right away, many began to theorize that this bar was aimed at Andrew Schulz, who received backlash for perpetuating negative stereotypes about Black women on his Flagrant podcast in October. Shortly after the album dropped, DJ Akademiks claimed he reached out to Schulz about the line. Allegedly, he responded to it by asking “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?” Now, Schulz has addressed the line directly on an episode of his podcast, making it clear that he doesn’t think he’s done anything wrong.
Andrew Schulz Thinks Kendrick Lamar Is Being Hypocritical
In a clip from the episode, Schulz sarcastically states that “nobody has respected women more through art than rappers,” suggesting that Kendrick’s line was hypocritical. He goes on to bring up Kendrick’s previous support of alleged abusers such as Chris Brown, arguing that the rapper is worried about protecting Black women from the wrong people. Schulz even speculated that Kendrick’s apparent call-out was only for clout. “What a time to be alive where rappers gotta talk about comedians for clout … You’re welcome, how many views did I give him?” he wondered.
For obvious reasons, Schulz’s remarks have earned mixed reactions from other X users. While some think he’s onto something, many are seriously questioning his suggestion that Kendrick was trying to use him for clout. After all, Kendrick didn’t even say Schulz’s name. For this reason, it’s still unconfirmed whether or not he was actually referring to him. “One sentence got this man fuming,” one X user writes. “He cooked,” someone else claims.
It feels like there’s a thin line between coincidences and calculated moves, at least for Kendrick Lamar. He’s often a few steps ahead of most, and the release of his new album, GNX, has been one of the year’s most anticipated albums, even though no one knew whether it would drop in 2024. It marked his first official project since Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers and his first album release post-TDE.
Context is important for this album. His historical beef with Drake is at the fore of this feud, especially after “Not Like Us” dominated the summer. However, this album isn’t strictly about Kendrick’s grievances with his peers–he’s coming for what’s his and destroying anything in his path. It all begins with “wacced out murals,” the blistering intro track that serves as the “Bomb First (My Second Reply)” to Kendrick’s The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. The first line alone addresses reports that one of his murals in Compton had been defaced in the wake of his Super Bowl halftime show announcement but this stands as a metaphor for the backlash he received following the news. Regardless, Kendrick is out for blood, and below, we’re breaking down the lyrics for the intro to GNX.
Despite the overwhelming amount of unity and support on the West Coast these days, there may have been a few individuals who just weren’t feeling Kendrick’s “Not Like Us.” The defacing of the artwork at Compton’s Honduras Restaurant Mi Sabor was seemingly handled by an OVO supporter, who X’d out Kendrick’s eyes, wrote the letters T and F, along with “OK,” before finishing with the acronyms of Drake’s October Very Own brand, XXL reports.
Drake
Of course, much of “wacced out murals” addresses the aftermath of his beef with Drake as early as the first verse when he raps, “It used to be f*ck that n***a but now it’s plural,” and “Put they head on a Cuban link as a monument,” which is an undoubted declaration of his unanimous win in the feud earlier this year. Much of the contention in the song–and the album at large– is directed at Drake or at the very least, what the Canadian rapper represents. However, the third verse of “wacced out murals” directly addresses a few talking points from the beef including a callback to “6:16 In L.A.”:
“N***as from my city couldn’t entertain old boy Promisin’ bank transactions and even Bitcoin I never peaced it up, that shit don’t sit well with me Before I take a truce, I’ll take ’em to Hell with me If that money got in the hands of a crash dummy Could jeopardize my family and burden the ones who love me”
These lines refer to the rumors that Drake tried to put money out in the streets for dirt on Kendrick Lamar. Alleged Kendrick affiliate, Coolee Bravo, claimed that he fed Drake false information for $150K. This has yet to be confirmed but Kendrick suggests that Drake was playing with fire, especially since someone could’ve taken things too far and caused physical harm to Kendrick’s family.
Lil Wayne
While many have debated whether or not Lil Wayne was dissed on GNX, Kendrick clearly had no issues taking his foe’s boss to task following the NOLA rapper’s complaints about the Super Bowl. “Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud/ Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” he raps in the second verse. Not only a reference to J. Cole’s “Let Nas Down” but this line serves as a direct response to Weezy and co. (Nicki Minaj etc.) who leaped to criticize Roc Nation and the Super Bowl without congratulating Kendrick Lamar.
For obvious reasons, the Young Money crew didn’t feel compelled to acknowledge Dot’s success after he duked it out with Wayne’s most notable protegé. This probably stung even more considering Kendrick once released a whole mixtape in dedication to Weezy. In fact, the intro of the project includes a glowing endorsement from Lil Wayne.
A few lines later, Kendrick seemingly takes digs at Lil Wayne’s musical output as of late. “Quite frankly, plenty artists, but they outdated/ Old-ass flows, trying to convince me that you they favorite,” he raps. It’s unclear if this is a shot at Wayne but most would agree that Wayne is far from his prime these days.
In response, Lil Wayne expressed confusion in a post on X. “Man wtf I do?! I just be chillin & dey still kome 4 my head. Let’s not take kindness for weakness. Let this giant sleep. I beg u all. No one really wants destruction,not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed. On me. Love,” he tweeted.
Snoop Dogg
The West Coast’s never been as unified, though it seemed like Snoop felt like he was above the politics. Following the release of Drake’s “Taylor Made Freestyle,” where he used AI to replicate Snoop Dogg and Tupac and taunt Kendrick, the Doggfather seemingly crossed a line by posting the song on his Instagram and co-signing Drake’s effort, despite the backlash. “Snoop posted ‘Taylor Made,’ I prayed it was the edibles/ I couldn’t believe it, it was only right for me to let it go,” Kendrick raps on the song. Kendrick evidently felt some type of way about Snoop Dogg’s praise for Drake, especially since Snoop passed the West Coast torch to Dot. In response, Snoop tweeted, “K dot new album GNX It was the edibles west west king.”
In the midst of the Super Bowl halftime show fallout, only a few people emerged with congratulatory messages for Kendrick Lamar. One of which was Nas, who also congratulated Kendrick on the release of GNX shortly after its release. “Always inspired by my brother KL. Keeping the essence of this shit alive and at the forefront. Salute King!” Nas captioned his latest post.
Diddy
Though his name appears to be omitted, Kendrick seemingly acknowledged the reckoning that the music industry is currently facing.
“Okay, f*ck your hip-hop, I watched the party just die N**gas cackling about— while all of y’all is on trial N**gas thought that I was antisocial when I stayed inside of my house You better off to have one woman, everything tricky right now”
Some interpreted this as a shot at Diddy while others speculated that Kendrick might be referring to Young Thug and Lil Durk. However, Diddy’s trial has produced several unsavory memes, such as the term “No Diddy,” the baby oil memes, or the speculation surrounding “Diddy parties,” which makes this more likely the reference. Moreover, his claims against Drake on “Not Like Us” and “meet the grahams” seemingly mirror some of the allegations against Diddy in his court cases.
J. Cole
In another one where names aren’t mentioned, Kendrick seemingly takes a few digs at J. Cole who has willingly taken more Ls than Drake this year. With the release of “Port Antonio,” Cole attempted to address his position in the feud and his fear of “losing a bro” while maintaining that he’s a formidable opponent in the booth.
Twice on “wacced out murals,” Kendrick seemingly addresses J. Cole’s attempt to both sides his way through the beef. First, he mentions, “F*ck apologies, I wanna see y’all geeked up,” which feels like it could reference Cole’s initial statements at Dreamville Festival where he vowed to pull “7 Minute Drill” off of DSPs and offered an apology to Kendrick. The second time in the song where Kendrick appears to reference the feud is in the third verse when he raps, “Ayy, fuck anybody empathetic to the other side, I vow/ A bitch n***a love bitch n***as, they exist with ’em in style/ Exterminate ’em right now.” Since “Port Antonio” was Cole’s attempt to thwart the narrative surrounding his decision to bow out, it appears that Kendrick isn’t giving J. Cole as much grace as he’d like.
Andrew Schulz
Even Andrew Schulz caught a stray on “wacced out murals.” Toward the end of the song, Kendrick seemingly references Schulz’s controversy with James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, the British podcasters who apologized after engaging in some edgy misogynoir banter on the Flagrant podcast. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” Kendrick says. “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?” Schulz said in response to the line, according to DJ Akademiks.
Katt Williams
Before the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake exploded, Katt Williams set the tone for 2024, and it appears that Dot channeled that spirit. Katt Williams sat down with Club Shay Shay at the beginning of the year for an explosive interview where he aired out his grievances with the entertainment industry, calling out everyone from Steve Harvey to Diddy. So when Dot raps, “Make Katt Williams ‘nem proud, the truth ‘bout to get loud,” we can imagine that he’s readying the world for a rude awakening.
While the line was about Andrew Schulz, fellow white comedian Gary Owens takes advantage of Kendrick Lamar’s new track, “wacced out murals,” to gain attention on social media. Following the release of Lamar’s track “wacced out murals” from the new project, Owen shared his thoughts on Instagram, stirring up a wave of backlash online. Kendrick’s song contains the following line: “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black women—that’s law.” Owen joked, “If that’s law, that makes me a criminal.” Known for his past marriage to Kenya Duke, a Black woman, Owen’s attempt at humor seemed to draw more ire than laughs.
Naturally, Owens jokes would receive backlash. Social media erupted with criticism. Instagram user @realruebenwood remarked, “He probably shouldn’t have said anything since his name wasn’t mentioned.” Others, like @violapatrice94, dismissed the comment as tone-deaf, writing, “This ain’t the flex he thinks it is.” The sentiment was echoed by @sarkimberly, who added, “Gary Owen truly believes because he married a Black woman he gets a FULL PASS, and it’s concerning.”
GNX continues to generate buzz. Lamar’s album is being praised for its bold themes and sharp lyricism, but the conversations it has sparked inside and outside the music world- showcase the artist’s unique ability to provoke thought and emotion. Rap has flooded social media with reactions, memes, reviews, etc. One of the biggest trends to come out of the new release is Mustard’s name referral by Lamar on the track “tv off.” McDonald’s took the opportunity to join the producer’s trend with their own signature post.
GNX features chart-topping hits “luther,” “tv off,” and “squabble up.” The surprise drop addresses Lil Wayne’s Super Bowl snub, subliminal disses, Nas’s acknowledgment, and more. In less than 24 hours, the first release of Kendrick’s PgLang imprint reached number one on the Apple Music charts. Outside the album, Kendrick Lamar is currently in the race for “Record of the Year” at the upcoming Grammy Awards.
Andrew Schulz allegedly described Kendrick Lamar as “too woke” to DJ Akademiks after hearing his new album, GNX, on which he seemingly disses the comedian. While going over the lyrics from the album’s intro track, “wacced out murals,” Akademiks brought up the bar: “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black women—that’s law.” He said that when he reached out to Schulz about the line, The Brilliant Idiots co-host remarked: “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?”
As for the joke in question, Schulz came under fire over the summer for an episode of his Flagrant podcast in which he joked about a “Black girlfriend effect,” in which a non-Black man dates a Black woman and gets a new look. “They grow their beard because they need a cushion when they get slapped,” he remarked at the time. “I think the ‘Black girlfriend effect,’ it might be a protective instinct.” Schulz’s guests on the episode, James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu, later apologized for laughing, but Schulz refused to follow suit.
Kendrick Lamar Performs During Austin City Limits Music Festival
As a clip of Akademiks sharing Schulz’s reaction to the lyrics circulated online, fans took Lamar’s side in the situation. “Do people think just cause you say something is a joke that immediately clears you of any wrongdoing you said?” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote on Saturday. O’Shea Jackson Jr added: “That ain’t what yall call ‘woke’ or even the original and true meaning of ‘woke.’ That’s just a black man speaking to other black men.”
Andrew Schulz Reportedly Responds To Kendrick Lamar
Schulz isn’t the only person Lamar dissed on “wacced out murals.” He’s already made headlines for mentioning Lil Wayne and their feud over the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Check out Akademiks relaying Andrew Schulz’s response to Kendrick Lamar below.
Kendrick Lamar dropped an absolute bomb on the music world Friday morning. The rapper dropped off a brand new album, mere minutes after teasing its release with a snippet. And it’s spectacular. Lamar has bars for days, and he addressed a myriad of topics over the album’s 12 songs. He seemingly took a few shots at Drake, and referenced the Lil Wayne Halftime Show controversy. A stray that fans didn’t expect, though, was aimed at a comedian. Kendrick Lamar targeted the unnamed comedian for his comments about Black women, and fans think they’ve figured out who it is.
“Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” Kendrick Lamar rapped on the song “wacced out murals.” Fans immediately perked up after hearing this line. It didn’t take much investigating to link Lamar’s bar with popular comedian Andrew Schulz. Schulz is known for taking aim at every ethnic group in his specials and on his podcast, Flagrant. The comedian is no stranger to controversy, but there was an avalanche of pushback against him after an October episode of his podcast in which he mocked Black women.
Schulz Has Been Critical Of Kendrick Lamar’s Music
Schulz’s guests on the episode observed that several white men shave their head when they start dating Black women. They posited the decision as a style choice, but Schulz turned it into a joke. “Because he’s so stressed to be around this black girl complaining all the time,” the comedian stated. “They grow their beard because they need a cushion when they get slapped. I think the black girlfriend effect, it might be a protective instinct.” Schulz was taken to task for these comments, as were his guests, James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu.
Schulz has actually spoken at length about Kendrick Lamar on his other podcast, Brilliant Idiots. He was openly critical of the Compton rapper during his beef with Drake. The comedian went as far as to claim that Lamar had never been the number one rapper over Drake, and that fans didn’t care about him the way they pretended to. Schulz received pushback from his co-host Charlamagne tha God on this take, but the damage may have already been done if Lamar is indeed referring to him.
