Last month, Kendrick Lamar dropped his new album GNX with zero notice. Fans were quick to point out one bar on “wacced out murals” referencing a white comedian. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps. Immediately, social media users began to theorize that he was talking about Andrew Schulz, who had recently come under fire for making a controversial joke about Black women.
Schulz addressed the apparent call-out on his Flagrant podcast, indicating that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong. He even went on to joke that he could rape Kendrick Lamar, which earned mixed reactions from listeners. While many argued that he was making an innocent joke, others were disturbed and thought he took things entirely too far. He’s been criticized by several social media users, but some are coming to his defense. This includes Ian Dunlap, who pointed out the hypocrisy he sees in the situation during a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.
Ian Dunlap Thinks Andrew Schulz Controversy Is Hypocritical

“Kendrick called Drake a pedophile for f*ckin’ five months, but the whole world got mad at a joke? Okay, it’s hypocritical,” he claimed. He’s not the only one who’s come to Schulz’s defense recently, however. Adam22 also stuck up for the comedian on X last week. He claimed that people were simply pretending to be outraged because they didn’t like Schulz.
“Andrew Schulz is objectively hilarious and all the hip hop fans who are complaining about some jokes should go jump off a bridge,” he wrote. “It’s 2024 and the whole ‘get offended by everything and constantly complain about it on twitter’ thing is over. You listen to rap, inarguably the edgiest, most offensive form of popular music. Spare us the fake outrage to try and get people you don’t like out the paint.” Others like TDE’s Punch, Meek Mill, Peter Rosenberg, and more have publicly addressed Schulz’s rant and think he crossed the line.
Late last month, Kendrick Lamar shocked the world by unleashing his new album GNX without warning. Unsurprisingly, the project has since been a major success and continues to receive praise from the Compton rapper’s fans and peers. It sold a whopping 319K album-equivalent units in its first week, per HITS Daily Double, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. It was the fifth No. 1 album of his career and the sixth-biggest debut week for an album in 2024. Several tracks from the project are also topping the charts, such as “squabble up,” “tv off,” and “luther.”
Now, the LP has reached yet another impressive milestone. According to Chart Data on X, GNX has gone gold, officially selling over 500K album-equivalent units in the United States. The outlet also notes that if Kendrick’s hit Drake diss track “Not Like Us” had been included on the album, it would have been platinum by now, surpassing 1 million units sold.
This marks yet another addition to Kendrick’s long list of wins this year, which only continues to grow. Earlier this week, for example, he announced his upcoming “Grand National” tour alongside SZA. The duo will kick things off in April of next year with a performance in Minneapolis before moving on to shows at 18 other stadiums across North America. They even recently added a second date in Drake’s home city of Toronto. It’s rumored that Doechii could potentially join them, though this is unconfirmed.
On top of touring next year, Kendrick is also set to headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show in February. The show will take place in New Orleans and sparked a great deal of backlash from Lil Wayne fans once it was announced, which Kendrick addressed on his track “wacced out murals.”
Recently, Andrew Schulz reacted to theories that Kendrick Lamar indirectly called him out on his new album, GNX. In his song “wacced out murals,” the Compton rapper puts an unnamed white comedian on blast for talking about Black women. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps. Schulz had recently received backlash for perpetuating negative stereotypes about Black women.
On his Flagrant podcast, Schulz made it clear that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong and accused Kendrick of being a hypocrite. He brought up times when Kendrick worked alongside alleged abusers like Chris Brown, arguing that he was trying to protect Black women from the wrong people. He then proceeded to go on a rant about how he could rape Kendrick, sparking mixed reactions from listeners. While many think he went entirely too far, others are coming to his defense, and arguing that he was just joking. Antonio Brown falls into this group and took to X yesterday to back him up.
“Anyone that calls @andrewschulz a racist is whack. Andrew is a real cracker,” he wrote alongside a photo of Schulz and 50 Cent. Obviously, Brown kept his take on the situation short and simple. Some, on the other hand, had a lot more to say about the debacle. Adam22 also recently hopped on X to weigh in, for example, making it clear that he was fed up with all of the backlash Schulz has received as of late.
“Andrew Schulz is objectively hilarious and all the hip hop fans who are complaining about some jokes should go jump off a bridge,” he wrote. “It’s 2024 and the whole ‘get offended by everything and constantly complain about it on twitter’ thing is over. You listen to rap, inarguably the edgiest, most offensive form of popular music. Spare us the fake outrage to try and get people you don’t like out the paint.”
Recently, Chris Brown hopped online to share a cryptic video of himself, which has since earned big reactions from fans. While the video itself is simple enough, his choice of song is what followers are focused on the most. He included Kendrick Lamar’s new GNX track “tv off” featuring Lefty Gunplay, which quickly became a fan favorite following the surprise release of the album last month.
“Drake about to hit the unfollow button when he wakes up,” one Instagram user writes in his comments section. “Plesseeeeeeeee a remix with you would EATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT,” someone else says. This isn’t the first time fans have seen Breezy show love to Kendrick, however. Back in June, he was spotted at the club dancing to his hit Drake track “Not Like Us.” He’s had some issues with the Toronto rapper in the past, but it’s also possible he’s just a Kendrick fan.
He and Drake do have something in common, however, as they were both hit with a $5 million lawsuit in October. The lawsuit was filed by Tykeiya Dore, who alleges that the duo stole the structure and melody of her song “I Got It” for their 2019 hit, “No Guidance.” According to her, Drake’s frequent collaborator Vinylz keeps tabs on the YouTube channel of Benji Filmz. Benji Filmz directed Tykeiya’s music video. “Defendant Anderson Hernandez, professionally known as Vinylz,” the lawsuit alleges. “Discovered and obtained access to Tykeiya’s song ‘I Got It’ and Cardi B’s songs on Benji Filmz YouTube channel.”
Allegedly, Tykeiya’s uncle Jesse Spruils had also previously provided a copy of the song to Nija Charles, the co-writer of “No Guidance.” Eventually, Spruils confronted Charles about the situation on social media but was allegedly blocked. In addition to Drake and Chris Brown, Tykeiya is suing YouTube and Google for alleged defamation, common law fraud, emotional distress, and more.
Late last month, Kendrick Lamar unveiled his new album GNX without warning, leaving social media users in shambles. Immediately, listeners got to work picking apart his bars and were quick to notice one aimed at an unnamed white comedian. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps on “wacced out murals.” The line led to speculation that he was referring to Andrew Schulz, who had recently come under fire for perpetuating negative stereotypes about Black women.
Schulz quickly issued a response on his Flagrant podcast, accusing Kendrick of being a hypocrite and calling him out for working with alleged abusers in the past. He even went on a disturbing rant about being able to rape the Compton rapper. Unsurprisingly, this earned big reactions online. While some are slamming Schulz for going too far, others are coming to his defense. This includes Adam22, who took to X last night to share his take on the debacle. According to him, Schulz did nothing wrong.
Adam22 Tells Fans To Stop Complaining About Jokes Amid Andrew Schulz Controversy
It’s 2024 and the whole “get offended by everything and constantly complain about it on twitter” thing is over. You listen to rap, inarguably the edgiest, most offensive form of popular music. Spare us the fake outrage to try and get people you don’t like out the paint.
“Andrew Schulz is objectively hilarious and all the hip hop fans who are complaining about some jokes should go jump off a bridge,” he wrote. “It’s 2024 and the whole ‘get offended by everything and constantly complain about it on twitter’ thing is over. You listen to rap, inarguably the edgiest, most offensive form of popular music. Spare us the fake outrage to try and get people you don’t like out the paint.”
Adam22 may believe Schulz is in the clear here, but the same can’t be said for Meek Mill. The rapper took to X to put the comedian on blast earlier this week. “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.
Kendrick Lamar’s GNX has been at the center of attention since its release on November 22nd, and it hasn’t been all positive, partially due to the strays that a few individuals caught, including comedian Andrew Schulz. In the post “Not Like Us” summer, Kendrick Lamar emerged victorious against his feud with Drake and left fans on the edge of their seats for his next body of work. Some felt it would likely arrive before the Super Bowl, but no one expected it to drop so soon.
“wacced out murals,” the album’s intro, sets the tone while Kendrick gets a few things off his chest. He takes a shot or two at Drake, namedrops Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg, and airs out his grievances surrounding white comedians who make disparaging remarks towards Black women. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” Kendrick raps on the song. The one line in particular caused a storm online and eventually, earned a response from Schulz, who assumed that bar was targeting him. Below, we’ll be breaking down the controversy at large and the escalating feud between Kendrick Lamar and Andrew Schulz.
U.K.-based podcast hosts James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu of Shxtsngigs appeared on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast in the fall when they engaged in a discussion surrounding the “Black girlfriend effect.” Duncan and Dawodu argued that Black women “glow up the other culture” in mixed relationships. “All of a sudden, they have a line-up, clean shape up. He glows up, bro,” Duncan said. However, Schulz said that it was actually a “protective instinct.”
“They shave their hair because they start losing it, because he’s so stressed to be around this Black girl complaining about sh*t all the f*cking time. That’s why they shave their head,” Schulz said. “They grow a beard because there’s more cushion when they get slapped the f*ck out of.” The comments earned some widespread backlash from both Schulz and the Shxtsngigs podcast hosts who eventually offered an apology. However, Schulz doubled down on the “edgy” humor without offering an apology to those offended by the misogynoir commentary.
“wacced out murals”
In the third verse of the GNX intro, Kendrick Lamar seemingly references the situation, though without mentioning names, it’s really an “if the shoe fits” type of situation, especially since Gary Owen responded to the song. In “wacced out murals,” Kendrick raps, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law/ I know propaganda work for them, and fuck whoever that’s close to them/ The n***as that’s coon, the n***as that being goons, slide on both of them.”
Many assumed Kendrick Lamar targeted Andrew Schulz since the ShxtsNGigs controversy happened a few months prior. And while Kendrick Lamar’s bar could definitely apply to Andrew Schulz, the subsequent bars indicate that the issue is figures like Duncan and Dawodu who let the joke slide unchecked.
The Initial Response

Shortly after the album dropped, social media dissected every angle of the album. However, Akademiks eventually highlighted this particular bar in a live-stream, revealing that he contacted Schulz who felt as though Kendrick was speaking about him. “Is this guy too woke to understand a joke?” Schulz allegedly told Akademiks who relayed the message to his audience.
During the latest episode, Schulz offered an official response where he deemed Kendrick Lamar hypocritical and a clout-chaser for dissing comedians. “Nobody has respected women more through art than rappers,” he said sarcastically. “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. Be more like us and… b*tches ain’t nothing but hoes and tricks. I beat my b*tch with a stick, what?’”
Schulz continued to group all rappers together, claiming that hip-hop’s long history of misogyny makes Kendrick look like a hypocrite. Moreover, he brought up Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming comedy movie with Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, who themselves have a history of creating edgy and offensive material.
Afterward, Andrew Schulz’s co-host, Akaash Singh, brought up the number of accused abusers that Kendrick has collaborated with over the years, including Kodak Black and Dr. Dre. He also cited the Spotify controversy a few years ago when Kendrick Lamar threatened to remove his music from the streaming platform in response to the Hate Content & Hateful Conduct Policy that removed XXXTENTACION and R. Kelly’s music from editorial and algorithmic playlists.
Schulz’s Sexual Assault Joke Fails To Land
Comedian Andrew Schulz jokes that he would make love to Kendrick Lamar against his will
“I don’t think he can stop most people on the planet from having sex with him…”
In the same episode, Schulz told his co-hosts that he would “make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not.” “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,” he continued. “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.”
Schulz Faces Backlash
Andrew Schulz “joking” about raping Kendrick Lamar was a white mans way of putting a Black man in his place for defending Black women. It was sadistic and a remnant of slavery. Evil sack of shit
While Kendrick Lamar hasn’t responded to Andrew Schulz yet, the comedian has felt the wrath of the hip-hop community at large, though the internet at large has been divided. Schulz has faced plenty of condemnation from people like TDE Punch, Meek Mill (who he later responded to), Peter Rosenberg, and many others. However, DJ Akademiks pointed out the contradiction in the public’s response, citing the viral moment when Saucy Santana threatened to rape him following a volley of insults between the two. Some agreed with Ak, and others felt it wasn’t similar at all.
At this point, it seems like Schulz might be dragging this more than it needs to be, especially since Kendrick intended to make a point of defending Black women, resulting in threats of sexual violence against him. Despite his issues with that initial line, Schulz agrees that GNX is still a good album. We’ll keep you posted on anymore developments surrounding Kendrick Lamar and Andrew Schulz’s feud.
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.
Kendrick Lamar’s collaborators for his new album, GNX, are receiving a massive boost in streaming numbers, according to a new report from Billboard. Lamar’s sixth studio album features appearances from AzChike, Dody6, Hitta J3, Peysoh, Roddy Ricch, Siete7x, SZA, Wallie the Sensei, Lefty Gunplay, and YoungThreat. GNX dropped last month and immediately debuted atop the Billboard 200 with five of its songs taking up the five highest spots on the Hot 100 chart.
“TV Off,” which features up-and-coming rapper Lefty Gunplay, landed at No. 2 on the chart. Lefty’s catalog has spiked 84% in the time since GNX’s release. To coincide with the highly-publicized collaboration, he dropped his own new album, Most Valuable Gangbanger. At No. 5 on the chart is the Dody6-assisted, “Hey Now.” His catalog is up over 110% since the release of GNX.
Lefty previously reflected on working with Kendrick Lamar on the album during an interview with Bootleg Kev shortly after its release. “We had to sign NDAs and they were like, ‘You’re going [in the studio] with Kendrick’ and it didn’t hit me ’til he walked in there and gave me a hug. He’s been locked in with me since April and he said that I’m the missing piece that the West Coast needed,” he said at the time.

Lefty also confirmed that a deluxe version of the album is on the way. “He has some stuff. We did two, three songs. He has some stuff in the chamber. He told me that we’re going to work again, for sure. I know he’s got a deluxe version coming out. He’s very secretive,” he said. Revisit Kendrick Lamar’s collaboration with Lefty Gunplay below.
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.
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’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.
