LeBron James, Tyler, The Creator + Many Others Show Love To Kendrick Lamar + Baby Keem
It’s rare that an artist spans culture and brings the industry, including outside of the industry, in appreciation of talent. Kendrick Lamar has achieved that with the Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers Tour, despite having no special guest appearances on stage; King Kendrick and Baby Keem have had the stars out at shows across […]

Kendrick Lamar Was A Writer’s Savior When He Helped Her Take A Huge Kitchen Knife From Her Toddler
Kendrick Lamar says that he’s not anyone’s savior on his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, but for one writer, he was apparently a lifesaver when a potentially dangerous situation took place during an interview. When a Twitter user posted a prompt to “tell us a true story from your life that sounds made up,” rock critic and author Jessica Hopper shared her own experience about how Kendrick was a real-life superhero.
“I was doing a phone interview with Kendrick Lamar,” her one-tweet story began. “When my then-toddler son appeared holding a very sharp kitchen knife he did not want to let go of.” Anyone with kids can probably relate to how scary it is when their unknowing little ones get to playing around with dangerous objects. Toddlers can be especially stubborn since they are in a time of their lives when they are learning and testing their own sense of agency but still don’t have any idea that certain things can hurt them.
I was doing a phone interview with Kendrick Lamar when my then-toddler son appeared holding a very sharp kitchen knife he did not want to let go of and Kendrick talked me through safely disarming him. https://t.co/CiD6vT96Dd

Fortunately for Hopper, it seems Kendrick knew what to do. “Kendrick talked me through safely disarming him,” she wrote, although the story itself was light on details. Presumably, it involved distracting the wee one long enough to get the sharp and pointy bits of the kitchen tool pointing away from the fleshy bits of both mom and son and depositing said implement in the drawer where it belongs.
The story blew up on Twitter, as the kids say, and the responses range from sharing in Cooper’s relief to sardonic jabs at Stan Twitter. Unfortunately, Kendrick himself isn’t on social media to give more answers, but you can check out some of the best responses below.

if I were you I would simply never stop telling this story. I would tell it at every birthday party for the formerly-armed toddler, at every big job milestone, would absolutely tell it at their wedding

LeBron James Celebrates Kendrick Lamar After Vancouver Concert: “You’re 1 of a Kind My Brother”
LeBron James and his wife, Savannah, made their first trip to Vancouver. While in the Canadian city, King James hit up Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Tour at Rogers Arena.
In a clip captured by TMZ, the superstar couple is in a private area enjoying the show and dancing. Fans flocked to the duo as they were dancing to the hits and began to catch footage.
Following the show, King James hit Twitter to celebrate his first trip to the city.
“Vancouver!! Thank you for the hospitality over the weekend. 1st time in your beautiful, wonderful city! @kendricklamar you’re 1 of a kind my brother! SPECIAL show by a SPECIAL person! Appreciate the love!”

LeBron James Had The Time Of His Life At A Kendrick Lamar Show In Vancouver
It has been an eventful summer for LeBron James as he gets ready for his 20th season in the NBA. After some vacation time, James has been busy on the pro-am circuit, popping up at the Drew League and The CrawsOver in L.A. and Seattle, while also showing up at various gyms to work with trainers throughout the summer.
He’s also had plenty to deal with regarding his team and their future, as he signed a two-year extension earlier this month and has been pushing behind the scenes for the Lakers front office to make more moves to turn the roster into a real contender. While the Lakers continue trying to appease those desires, most recently trading for Patrick Beverley and there still being the expectation Russell Westbrook is moved, James made a trip up to Vancouver with his wife, Savannah, for a little R&R.
On that trip, the James popped in to Kendrick Lamar’s stop on the Big Steppers Tour and other fans took some videos of LeBron and Savannah having the time of their lives dancing and singing along.

Charm La’Donna On Turning Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Big Steppers’ Into Movement
Kendrick Lamar Explains Why He’s Not Active On Social Media: “It’s Just Who I Am”
Kendrick Lamar is one of the biggest artists in the world, and unlike other big artists who constantly have to make appearances, keep their presence up, and are constantly worried about their image, Kendrick is different. The Compton MC went 4 years without even appearing on a song and 5 without an album and is never on social media except when it’s time to drop an album. Recently K.Dot has been dumping images from his “Big Steppers” tour with Baby Keem on his IG but once the tour is over and he goes back into seclusion, we might not get another post from Kendrick for a while.
Kendrick recently explained his lack of presence on social media in a new interview with Citizen magazine. He admitted that he really just doesn’t know how to use it.
“People ask me, ‘Man, you’ve never been on social media, you really hate it?’ Bro, I don’t really know how to use it like that to be 100% real with you,” Kendrick said. “I got friends, family, my team, they send me things, so I got good sentiments on what’s going on.”
Kendrick then went on to talk about how he values his privacy in his life despite being a public figure.
“Distinguishing between Kendrick and Kendrick Lamar. I’m still learning the balance of that,” he said. “Because I’m so invested in who I am outside of being famous, sometimes that’s all I know. I’ve always been a person that really didn’t dive too headfirst into wanting and needing attention.”
“I mean, we all love attention, but for me, I don’t necessarily adore it. I use it when I want to communicate something. The person that people see now is the person that I’ve always been.”
“For me, the privacy thing has never been an issue that I had to carry out with full intention. It’s just who I am. If I feel I have to remove myself, I just remove myself. I won’t complain about it. I won’t cause a big blow-up or a big stir and let the world know that the walls are closing in.”

Kendrick Lamar Explains Why He Stays Off Of Social Media
Kendrick Lamar is famously reclusive when it comes to social media. His Instagram account has 11.6 million followers and has been scrubbed down to zero photos. His Twitter frequently goes dormant for many months at a time and even when posts get made, they feel like mostly promotional material posted by his team — like the puzzle pieces that led to announcing Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. One can’t fault a world-renowned artist who is frequently under the microscope from laying off the oft-toxic world of social media. But in a recent cover story with Citizen, Kendrick gave some insight into why he stays off of social media.
“People ask me, ‘Man, you’ve never been on social media, you really hate it?’ Bro, I don’t really know how to use it like that to be 100% real with you,” he said. “I got friends, family, my team, they send me things, so I got good sentiments on what’s going on.” In the new interview, he speaks about much more than social media, including wanting to reject notions of being labeled as “the greatest,” and trying to perfect the balance between, “Distinguishing between Kendrick and Kendrick Lamar.”
He added, “Because I’m so invested in who I am outside of being famous, sometimes that’s all I know. I’ve always been a person that really didn’t dive too headfirst into wanting and needing attention. I mean, we all love attention, but for me, I don’t necessarily adore it. I use it when I want to communicate something.”

Jack Harlow and Lizzo Added as Performers at MTV VMAs
Lizzo and Jack Harlow are the latest round of global superstar performers that will take the stage at MTV’s 2022 VMAs. The show will air live from Prudential Center on Sunday, August 28, at 8 pm ET/PT.
Global superstar Jack Harlow returns to the MTV stage for his first solo performance after last year’s epic “VMAs” debut collaboration of the mega-hit “INDUSTRY BABY” with Lil Nas X. Harlow hopes to win his first Moon Person after receiving a tie for the most nominations (7) this year, including two of the night’s top prizes, “Video of the Year” and “Artist of the Year.” The 10x nominee received nominations for “PUSH New Artist” and “Song of the Summer” in 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Lizzo, multi-hyphenate diva, is scheduled for another huge MTV moment with a performance of “2 Be Loved” from her critically praised new album Special, following a show-stopping debut with a massive mashup of “Good As Hell” and “Truth Hurts” in 2019. In addition to being a nominee for 11x, the artist and song of the year categories are up for grabs this year.
Those two stars join J Balvin, who is ready to take the 2022 MTV VMA stage. MTV announced the Colombian superstar will make a return to the stage with the TV/world premiere of “Nivel de Perreo,” with Ryan Castro.
The first time Balvin touched the stage was for the 2019 performance of “Que Pretenders” with Bad Bunny in 2019.
The five-time winner and 13-time nominee for “Best Latin” (for “In Da Getto” with Skrillex) is also vying for his sixth Moon Person, which would make him the most decorated Latin artist in “VMAs” history.
Additional performers include Anitta, Marshmello x Khalid and Panic! At The Disco, BLACKPINK, and Maneskin.
This year’s nominations are led by Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar, and Lil Nas X with seven each, followed closely by Doja Cat and Harry Styles with six apiece, and Billie Eilish, Drake, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and The Weeknd (5 each).
The 2022 “VMAs” will celebrate the biggest names in music on August 28th, 8PM ET/PT, LIVE from New Jersey’s iconic Prudential Center and air across MTV’s worldwide footprint of linear and digital platforms in 170+ countries, reaching 422 million households in nearly 30 different languages.
Through Friday, August 19, 2022, fans can cast their votes online at vote.mtv.com for their favorites in 22 gender-neutral categories, including “Video of the Year,” “Artist of the Year,” “Best Collaboration,” and two brand-new ones, “Best Longform Video” and “Best Metaverse Performance.”
