Andrew Schulz stands by his joke about wanting to “make love” to Kendrick Lamar, arguing that the rapper’s fans unnecessarily turned it into a racial issue.
During his Monday (March 10) appearance on The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy playfully asked if Schulz still wanted to “make love” to Kendrick. “Honestly, it’s hard to say no to that,” Schulz quipped before admitting he found the rapper “attractive.”
When Lauren LaRosa asked about Kendrick’s Celine jeans from the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, Schulz referenced the GNX track “Peekaboo,” saying, “When I saw those jeans, I was like, ‘boom-bop-bing-bop-boom-bop-bam.'”
“They made that shit racist so fast,” Schulz complained about his earlier joke. “I’m just saying he’s little! I hate having to explain jokes. He’s itty bitty, so why is he telling people to kill my friends?”
Schulz then addressed the GNX track “Wacced Out Murals,” where Kendrick rapped, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman,” allegedly targeting Schulz. Following the album’s release, Schulz joked about hooking up with the 22-time Grammy winner, who could “decide if it’s consensual or not.”
“The next line, he goes, ‘And to the N-words that coon and to the N-words that groom, slide on both of them.’ What does ‘slide’ mean to y’all?” Schulz asked the hosts about their take on “Wacced Out Murals.” “If you say kill my friends, everything after that is fine. You took it there.”
Schulz mentioned he got death threats when GNX dropped, with “Wacced Out Murals” being the opening track.
“I filmed my special–I don’t really give a fuck. And then after that, I was like ‘Yo we’re gonna have some fun with this.’ But I don’t like this idea that I’m this big bully–you told your people to kill my friends.”
Schulz ended by saying his joke “got blown out of proportion” and called Kendrick a “prolific rapper” who’s “fantastic at what he does.”
