Comedian Andrew Schulz has doubled down on his criticism of Kendrick Lamar following a perceived diss on the rapper’s recent track. During an appearance on Sirius XM’s The Sam Roberts Show Wednesday (April 9), Schulz accused Lamar of hypocrisy and suggested the lyrical jab was merely for engagement.
Schulz took issue with Lamar collaborating on an upcoming film with South Park co-creator Trey Parker, given the show’s history of controversial humor. “Did I find it hypocritical that he’s doing a movie with the South Park guys and they’ve got Lizzo jokes and all this other shit?” Schulz said. “Like yes, he’s being hypocritical. He’s just, he was doing something for clicks.”
Interesting take.
The comedian theorized Lamar referenced him impulsively after seeing viral content. “He’s like jumping on an internet thing. He probably wasn’t that familiar with me and didn’t realize that people know about me or whatever,” Schulz continued. “I think he was just reacting to a video online. And then I did get confirmation it was about me. So before I sent anything, I got confirmation.”
Schulz emphasized he didn’t assume the lyrics targeted him without verification. “It’s the most ego thing in the world to think it must be about me. It’s like, I didn’t react for two weeks and then I got confirmation,” he explained. According to Schulz, Lamar’s team clarified the reference through an intermediary.
The comedian concluded with pointed criticism of Lamar allegedly inciting fans. “Basically his team reached out to somebody to be like, ‘Yo, we weren’t talking about you guys with that line about the killing shit, but it was about Schultz with this thing,'” Schulz recounted. “So I’m like, ‘OK, you open your mouth, you say this thing about telling your fans to kill my friends. You get whatever’s coming to you and you fking enjoy it.’”
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions between entertainers when lyrics are interpreted as personal attacks, particularly when audiences may act on perceived provocations.
