Kendrick Lamar has become a household name at this point and it would not be incorrect to say that he has helped Hip-Hop gain new audiences.
The Compton native won five awards at this year’s Grammys, including the coveted Record of the Year for his diss track Not Like Us.
The rapper went on to win Album of the Year for GNX at the BET Awards, which was followed by Lamar and his collaborator SZA grabbing the Favourite Music Collaboration trophy for their song Luther at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
However, the 38-year-old is facing some bizarre accusations after a Texas-based farm owner made some startling claims.
Ronnie Semler shared a clip on Instagram where he revealed that K.Dot wanted to sue him for naming one of his animals “Kendrick Llama.”
The video was actually posted back in April but only recently went viral.
The farmer also disclosed that his children have given other llamas some interesting names too, including “Tony Llama” and “Barack Ollama.”
“It was done for fun and for the people that came to visit the ranch. And it was certainly something we didn't do to harm or hurt anybody or their reputation,” Semler said.
The owner went on to reveal that the singer’s legal team reached out to him to make legal threats if he did not change the animal’s name, which he respectfully did because it's a “no big deal”.
Lamar’s camp has not responded to the claims so they remain independently unverified.
Who directed the ‘Luther’ music video?
The music video of Luther (much like NOKIA) was shot in black and white and is directed by Drake’s ex-collaborator and fellow Canadian Karena Evans.
Evans previously called the shots for many of Drake’s music videos, including God’s Plan and I’m Upset.
