Despite being named rapper of the year and next King of Rap, King Kendrick has just shown us all he is not in the game to kiss anyone's butt by snubbing GQ Men of the Year party. According to tmz, the interview In released earlier this week by GQ, writer Steve Marsh evidently surprised at Kendrick's discipline -- refusing to drink excessively and womanize like other rappers and artistes especially since that has been the norm in the music game for some time now.
The writer also divulges into talking about gang violence an endemic in Kendrick's home city of Compton. Which he has infamously mentioned countless times in his lyrics.
Kendrick and his crew were very much offended by the writer's focus of the interview, they also claimed the interview had prejudicial and racial overtones which was clear from the dimension Marsh interviewed K.Dot from. The camp insisted that Marsh the interviewer, focused on the wrong details, senselessly romanticizing a dark time in hip hop, when the article should have been a celebration of Kendrick's successes.
The CEO of Kendrick's label Top Dawg Entertainment Anthony Tiffith told the media that the interview portrayed him and his company in a negative light and they refuse to accept such portrayal to the public -- "To say he was 'surprised at our discipline' is completely disrespectful ... Kendrick deserved to be accurately documented."
