Kendrick Lamar Fans Debunk Claim That TDE Didn’t Support Nipsey Hussle’s Funeral
Fans of Kendrick Lamar have been coming to the defense of Top Dawg Entertainment on social media after a rumor began to spread that the group wasn’t supportive of Nipsey Hussle‘s family as they made funeral arrangements. An account on X (formerly Twitter) with the username “keep6ixsolid” shared a clip of Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam, reflecting on the days after the rapper’s death. The clip stems from his recent interview with Big Boy. In the caption, the user claimed the comments showed Lamar’s lack of support.
“Bro wtf is this??? I sat right next to Kendrick and Top at the funeral in the family section?” Ben Baller responded to the post. Karen Civil also shot down the rumor: “This isn’t accurate. Punch, Top Dawg & TDE were very supportive and in communication with us during that time and still continue to be supportive. Don’t create a false narrative to align it with your personal issues with TDE. Be blessed & #LLNH.” Another fan remarked: “Playing dirty with some dirty propaganda it’ll blow up on you… this is a whole lot of nothing you wrote here. Trying to paint Lamar and TDE as careless when it’s not the truth. But it’s expected from an OVHOE.” More users complained about Drake‘s fanbase as well.
