50 Cent Confronts Andrew Schulz For Making Insensitive Kendrick Lamar Jokes

Andrew Schulz somehow became a key narrative of Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, or at least, that’s what his reaction to a presumed diss on “wacced out murals” became. Moreover, for those unaware, the comedian joked on his Flagrant podcast about “making love” to Kendrick and that there was nothing the Compton rapper could do to stop it. The show’s most recent guest was 50 Cent, who chose to ask Schulz about these comments. The New York stand-up comic joked that his response was taken too aggressively, whereas 50 faked an apology to the camera for “misinterpreting” what Schulz had said before.

“I’m a fan of your work. But I don’t understand what got into you that made you say you was going to f**k Kendrick,” 50 Cent told Andrew Schulz about the Kendrick Lamar situation. “[…] Look, I follow comedic culture. I watch the comedians. I enjoy them on another level. What I appreciate about it is they are invincible. When I watch them, I look and I go, ‘There’s no point that you could do something that actually damages what they developed, what they built.’ Like, Katt Williams can fight a 15-year-old kid that’s his height. And not do so well, right? […] But it does no damage to Katt Williams, he’s still that guy.

50 Cent Asks Andrew Schulz About Kendrick Lamar Jokes

“I was watching Jamie Foxx’s new piece, right?” 50 Cent continued his comments about Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar. “And he mentioned Katt in it. To me, it meant that he had to be relevant enough for Jamie to include him. And I don’t know, like, I want to laugh. If Andrew’s going to do something, my mind is prepared, I’m conditioned to laugh. I’m waiting for the punchline. It’s going to come. And I’m usually never let down. Jamie’s show, that s**t put me on a rollercoaster. He went to a place that I was, like, ‘Oh… Man.’ Like, my eyes was emotional.”

With all this in mind, we doubt we will hear the end of the Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar saga anytime soon. Whether it’s 50 Cent giving another take or the rest of the hip-hop world debating it and reacting to it, it makes for a whole lot of stand-up material.

Lil Wayne’s AI Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Goes Viral And Causes Confusion

A lot of hip-hop fans out there are waiting for a battle to erupt between Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne. But some of them are showing an exaggerated desperation, depending on technology to fulfill their wishes. Moreover, an A.I.-generated diss track from Weezy against K.Dot surfaced online, sprouting a lot of puzzled reactions from fans unsure if that New Orleans voice we all know and love came from artificial intelligence. In fact, there are apparently multiple fake disses circling around the Internet right now, and Kendrick affiliate Hitta J3 pointed at least one of them out on Twitter, although he didn’t specify which one.

For those unaware, there are a couple of explanations for this presumed beef. One is Lil Wayne’s loyalty to Drake, whom Kendrick Lamar eviscerated in a rap battle this year. The other concerns next year’s Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans and the outrage sparked by the NFL (and presumably Jay-Z) picking the Compton lyricist over folks like Wayne, a hometown hero. The whole conversation involves more nuance than that, but you get the general gist.

A.I.-Generated Lil Wayne Diss Against Kendrick Lamar

“This is a big event,” Snoop Dogg said of the Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and Super Bowl situation. “You should just be honored that hip-hop is being able to be seen on that platform, for all of us, and not hate on the next man, but be happy. […] I didn’t feel like I was supposed to be [at my Super Bowl halftime show] or in demand to be there. […] People look at everything when they pick the person to perform. […] Before Jay-Z got control of the Super Bowl, wasn’t no n***as performing. He’s creating a wave of artists that have an opportunity to perform.”

Meanwhile, another big factor fueling a potential Kendrick Lamar and Tunechi battle is that the former actually addressed the latter on his new album GNX‘s opener, “wacced out murals.” “Used to bump ‘Tha Carter III,’ I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” he rapped on the cut. Wayne actually seemed to respond via Twitter, so with all this precedent in mind, maybe one day fans won’t have to use A.I. to imagine a showdown. But who knows…

Ice Cube Supports His Son O’Shea Jackson Jr. Against Andrew Schulz Amid Kendrick Lamar Drama

Who knew that one of the most conversation-sparking bars on Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX would be the one allegedly dissing Andrew Schulz? Well, the comedian took the presumed diss to heart, and there have been a lot of condemning reactions to his jokes about the Compton lyricist in the aftermath. O’Shea Jackson Jr., for example, called Schulz out. “Weird ass n***a,” he shared on Twitter. “Man how people change on some weird s**t. I was a fan.” Jackson Jr. probably got some of this combative energy from his father Ice Cube, who penned one of the best diss tracks of all time in “No Vaseline.”

Furthermore, the Los Angeles icon actually recently responded to O’Shea Jackson Jr’s attacks against Andrew Schulz for his Kendrick Lamar comments. TMZ asked him about the situation at the LAX airport on Thursday (December 12), and he’s fully in support of Jackson Jr. “He can handle that all day, any day. That’s light work,” Ice Cube said of his son’s criticisms of the comedian. As for Schulz himself, Cube had harsher words: “Come with some better jokes, homie.”

Ice Cube’s Son Goes Off On Andrew Schulz

In response to Ice Cube’s son, Andrew Schulz had the following comment to make via a Twitter reply: “Google ‘No Vaseline’ by Ice Cube [shocked face emoji].” “A metaphor about getting f***ed business wise by your manager is not the same homie,” O’Shea Jackson Jr. clapped back. “He ain’t call you a b***h. He ain’t say f**k you. Didn’t even say your name. And your response was buck breaking. S**t was just crazy.” While there’s still some fallout from this whole situation, it’s starting to die down in the media. So maybe there’s another chapter to these back-and-forth responses, or we can nip this in the bud.

Beyond supporting his son against Andrew Schulz, though, Ice Cube has plenty of other, more important endeavors to focus on. For example, he recently released his new album Man Down, which hardcore fans seem quite pleased with given the reception to it overall. We’ll see if he has more takes on some of today’s most divisive or combative hip-hop topics.

DJ Akademiks Continues To Defend Andrew Schulz By Calling Out Kendrick Lamar’s Hypocrisy

Andrew Schulz probably didn’t expect himself to be at the center of a new piece of Kendrick Lamar and Drake drama, but he certainly doubled down on it. That caused even more controversy given how he joked about sexually assaulting K.Dot in response to GNX‘s presumed “wacced out murals” diss, which didn’t even name-drop the comedian. But some folks, like DJ Akademiks, think that the indignant reactions to this debacle from Kendrick fans is hypocritical. This is because of how the Compton lyricist connected Drizzy to grooming and underage intimacy allegations and how some folks excused that attack.

“What has Kendrick done to everybody?” DJ Akademiks questioned. “Because it’s so hypocritical. No one stands on these supposed principles. Yo, Kendrick said Drake is a certified – ‘Yo, everything is fair in hip-hop, man. Ain’t no rules to this s**t, man. Lying has always been a part of hip-hop. N***a, ain’t no rules. This is hip-hop, n***a. Don’t start no beef if you don’t want to go there.’ A white comedian gets dissed and says, ‘I’m gonna f**k’ – It’s like, ‘Whoa! Whoa! What’s going on? Draw the line, weirdo! How could he speak like this?’

DJ Akademiks Calls Out Kendrick Lamar Fans’ Hypocrisy In Andrew Schulz Drama

“What is it?” DJ Akademiks asked of Kendrick Lamar fans angry at Andrew Schulz. “‘Cause y’all just have one standard? And I agree with that, too. Is it no rules or is it rules? The same motherf***ers who be like, ‘Yo, so what if he lied and called Drake a certified p*dophile?’ But as soon as I make fun of his song, ‘Yo, chill, chill! I don’t even know if that s**t’s true. That’s just, like, playing off of a song.’ But he can say anything he wants. So you get to realize, man, this s**t a whole bunch of bulls**t.”

Of course, there’s a lot more nuance here that DJ Akademiks – or many other media figures, for that matter – isn’t fully unpacking. Kendrick Lamar dissing white comedians is very different from Andrew Schulz using that as trigger-happy provocation, particularly in a sexual assault context. But it is true that Kendrick fans making a fuss out of the fallout have to reckon with what personal attacks and oversteps they trusted.

DJ Akademiks Claims Kendrick Lamar’s Team Confirmed Andrew Schulz Diss

One of the most ironic parts of this whole Andrew Schulz drama with Kendrick Lamar is that K.Dot never even name-dropped anyone on GNX‘s “wacced out murals.” Instead, he just called out white comedians talking about Black women, and most people assumed Schulz in place of a whole host of other applicable celebrities. But maybe Kendrick really did mean to target the New York stand-up comic, as DJ Akademiks has now claimed via Twitter that K.Dot’s team allegedly confirmed to him that this line was aimed at Schulz. Given how anti-TDE the commentator is, many fans took this with a barrel of salt.

At the end of the day, it seems like this situation with Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar went way out of proportion in the discourse. HipHopDX‘s The Bigger Picture podcast – with Elliott Wilson, DJ Hed, and Jeremy Hecht – recently posited some more simple breakdowns of the debacle. They posited that this is all fair game if the people involved just stand on it, and that Schulz just missed the mark with a sexual assault joke.

DJ Akademiks Allegedly Confirms Kendrick Lamar’s Andrew Schulz Diss

But as far as really going in on the criticism, this is one of the more nuanced takes on the Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar controversy. Throughout this whole process, the former launched multiple responses and clap-backs to the scenario, most of which emerged as just jest. He directly replied to folks like Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. and even Meek Mill when they issued condemnations of his jokes. People need to keep that content storm rolling even when it’s to their detriment, although we doubt that the 41-year-old will really take much of a hit as a result.

Meanwhile, Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar aside, DJ Akademiks has some other wild theories and claims about big headlines these days. He alleged that Stefon Diggs is out here stealing rappers’ girls after folks spotted him with Yung Miami earlier this week. It’s a pretty bizarre hill to die on, but it’s not the first time the streamer addressed the issue. Odd stories like these might make people turn the other cheek when he comes through with these kinds of claims, but he could’ve really spoken to Kendrick’s team about this.

Elliott Wilson & DJ Hed Discuss Andrew Schulz’s Controversial Kendrick Lamar Jokes

It seems wild that we’re still talking about Andrew Schulz and his controversial jokes about Kendrick Lamar, but such is the nature of Internet discourse. We wonder if the comedian is still calling out “K Bots” now, since pretty much everyone in hip-hop media has chimed into this debacle. Today, the docket has The Bigger Picture podcast from HipHopDX, during which Elliott Wilson, DJ Hed, and Jeremy Hecht discussed these comments. For those unaware, it all stemmed from Schulz’s reaction to what he and many others perceived as a diss on GNX‘s opener, “wacced out murals.” Fortunately, this take is much more reasonable than others online.

All three commentators had particular points that they wanted to emphasize, and they all gave Andrew Schulz grace and credit along with some criticisms. DJ Hed posited that the comedian is probably smart enough to have reacted in a more nuanced way, but respects his position if he stands on it and is willing to deal with the fallout from it without engaging in a victim complex. Jeremy Hecht said that Schulz just missed the mark with the sexual assault joke, but that doesn’t change how much they enjoy his content. Elliott Wilson summed it up pretty well: “I hate bad jokes.”

The Bigger Picture On Andrew Schulz & Kendrick Lamar

As such, The Bigger Picture has their issues with how Andrew Schulz carried himself, but they don’t seem as vitriolic or inconsiderate as other takedowns. At the end of the day, Kendrick Lamar is probably watching this all unfold with a smile on his face, as he could’ve been talking about any other white comedian on “wacced out murals.” But hit dogs holler – understandably so, we might add. Not just for engagement and attention, but because that’s just what comedians do.

Maybe Andrew Schulz will settle down on his clap-backs to critics of his Kendrick Lamar comments, or he’ll ride this out for longer. At this point, it’s clear that the discourse also polarized in a pretty intense way that makes takes like The Bigger Picture‘s land on dismissive ears on both sides. But it’s actually a grounded assessment of the situation in our view.

Andrew Schulz & Charlamagne Tha God Address Kendrick Lamar Backlash

We did not expect an Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar conflict in 2024, but here we are. The former and his Brilliant Idiots podcast cohost Charlamagne Tha God addressed the backlash to Schulz’s jokes about K.Dot after he was supposedly dissed on GNX‘s opener, “wacced out murals.” Specifically, the commentary duo had two main points that they seemed to focus on: Kendrick’s work with the South Park creators for an upcoming movie and how the Compton lyricist’s bars could’ve applied to a whole host of white comedians. But as for their actual responses to criticisms of Schulz’s jokes, they didn’t really have much to say.

However, they did just make a lot of jokes about the situation as a whole that made it very clear that Andrew Schulz wasn’t taking this too seriously. In Charlamagne Tha God’s case, he was more focused on his failure to understand why so many people thought Kendrick Lamar’s bars were specifically about Schulz. At the end of the day, it seems like they just wanted to have fun with the whole debacle and scapegoat themselves rather than justify or double down on interpretations of disrespect.

Andrew Schulz Talks About Kendrick Lamar Drama With Charlamagne Tha God

Still, we doubt that Andrew Schulz will completely quiet down about all this, as he clapped back at various critics of his Kendrick Lamar comments. The big part that people took issue with was how he joked that Kendrick could not do much to defend himself if Schulz tried to get intimate with him. But this Brilliant Idiots clip kind of shows that they’re just in it for the comedy and to offer a more light perspective. So maybe the search for more earnest and validating responses is too much to ask.

All this doesn’t mean that all this backlash isn’t valid, though, especially if it’s more critical of humor than of intent or content. At the same time, Andrew Schulz is well within his right to makes jokes to Charlamagne Tha God and others about Kendrick Lamar, whether they bomb or not. Hopefully this redirection towards self-ridicule and pure humor can also come with an acknowledgement of certain oversteps.

Andrew Schulz Is Wondering Where All The “K Bots” Are Amid Kendrick Lamar Backlash

Andrew Schulz has had quite the hectic past few weeks, as an alleged diss on Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX made him assume full clap-back mode. For those unaware, Kendrick seemed to reference him in critical fashion on “wacced out murals,” and then the comedian answered with scathing callouts and insensitive jokes about the rapper. All in all, this really wouldn’t be such a huge controversy; after all, that’s comedians’ job. But Schulz’s response, egging on triggered K.Dot fans, has just dug his hole that much deeper thanks to how flippantly he’s taking the whole thing. In other words, he could’ve just let this slide and it would’ve been over by now… But he just had to double down.

“Everybody got quiet all the sudden, what happened?” Andrew Schulz tweeted on Friday night (December 6). “Y’all turn the K Bots off? Put them bots back on guys I was just getting warmed up.” For those unaware, he’s referring to the accusation that Kendrick Lamar is purposefully using bots this year to boost his streams and defend the massive fallout to the Drake battle.

Andrew Schulz Wants Kendrick Lamar Backlash To Continue

Not only that, but Andrew Schulz also directly responded to many critics of his Kendrick Lamar comments, whether it’s Ice Cube’s son or Meek Mill. Clearly, he’s not taking any of this super seriously, and is just looking for more engagement and attention by feeding off of folks’ indignation. We can’t really blame Schulz for doing so, though, as that’s what he became famous for and it’s natural that he would want to defend himself. Yet given the context of not just the racial dynamics at play here, but also the nature of the comedian’s insults towards Kendrick, many fans still feel like he is missing the point.

Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar never even mentioned Andrew Schulz by name, and we doubt he will ever clarify his intent. So the comedian has free reign to direct this narrative, benefit from it, and jokingly call out some hypocrisies, assumptions, or soft spots. As such, we’re not really surprised that he wants people to keep going at him and insulting him. Schulz is just experiencing what every big social media narrative undergoes: people lose interest.

DJ Akademiks Calls Out Double Standard In Kendrick Lamar & Andrew Schulz Controversy

One of the most surprising storylines out of Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNX is how strongly Andrew Schulz felt about a particular bar on its opening track. “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law,” he raps on “wacced out murals,” which many felt was a comment aimed at Schulz’s recent viral moment joking about Black women. The comedian and media personality responded with some pretty loaded and critical jokes, which drew their own conversation online. DJ Akademiks threw in his two cents on the matter, calling out a certain double standard on behalf of Internet users.

Specifically, DJ Akademiks brought up his social media beef with Saucy Santana, who threatened to do a whole lot of nasty things to him. Ak said that the same people who laughed at him when Saucy joked about assaulting him are the same people who are criticizing Andrew Schulz for his comments towards Kendrick Lamar. Obviously, the situations, tones, jokes, and personal dynamics are very different in both cases, but it seems like a lot of people had similar feelings.

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Kendrick Lamar & Andrew Schulz Situation

Beyond DJ Akademiks, Andrew Schulz himself responded to this Kendrick Lamar backlash. He called out Meek Mill for his supposed hypocrisy in criticizing Schulz for his jokes. “”White man saying they’ll r*pe black men openly is extreme …” Meek had tweeted. “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!!” However, DJ Akademiks does bring up an interesting point about how certain people get more backlash than others. But that has its own explanation…

Meanwhile, as the conversation around all this continues to develop, we’ll see if Kendrick Lamar has anything else to say about it. We’re sure that Andrew Schulz and DJ Akademiks will continue to do their commentary and pull narratives from it, and we just hope they keep things reasonable and respectful. But at the end of the day, we all know how this circus goes.

Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson Don’t Believe Kendrick Lamar Dissed Lil Wayne

Kendrick Lamar did not take long to let loose on his new album GNX, as its opening track “wacced out murals” arguably contains the project’s most divisive lyric right before the beat fully kicks in. “Used to bump ‘Tha Carter III,’ I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down,” he raps on the cut. This sparked a menacing response from Tunechi and a whole lot of conversations around why K.Dot penned this and what comes next. Matt Barns and Stephen Jackson chimed into the debate on their All The Smoke podcast, and they don’t actually think that these bars constitute a full-on diss.

“I didn’t even take what he said about Wayne and Snoop as a diss,” Stephen Jackson expressed concerning Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne. “I don’t think Wayne did, too. But I think he still had to respond. You know, I don’t think that should end up as a beef with Kendrick and Wayne. I kind of feel like the song was dope. He kind of felt like he wanted Wayne to congratulate him too, ’cause he looked up to Wayne and he used to jam Wayne. But I feel how Wayne felt, too. ‘We coming home, this is my home, I’m the best rapper to ever come from [here].’ So I look at it both sides, man. I just hope it don’t end up in the negative. But if Wayne did come out with a song and responded, I wouldn’t be mad.”

Matt Barnes & Stephen Jackson Weigh In On Kendrick Lamar’s Lil Wayne Bar

“I actually heard someone tell a story about how kind of that came about,” Matt Barnes said of Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne, agreeing with Stephen Jackson’s points. “I want to say it was Jay Rock had Wayne in the studio. And they said something, like, Wayne knocked 12 singles off for a handful of different people in one night. It made Kendrick kind of reevaluate, like, ‘Yo, this is how we got to work. This is how hard we got to work.’ So when he said, ‘My hard work let Wayne down,’ I think he was paying homage to Wayne initially because Wayne gave him a different grind. It’s from what I heard, so I don’t really know how true the story is. But it seemed like a pretty logical reason.”

Also, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson wondered about how huge a Kendrick Lamar and Lil Wayne beef would be and how it might be even better for them to hit the Super Bowl halftime show stage together. Whether or not they end up clashing, these questions will keep fans debating for the foreseeable future.
