Kendrick Lamar created an uproar after the release of a feature article that was published in Billboard magazine. When asked about Iggy Azalea, Lamar defended the female rapper who has been accused of appropriating Black culture.


However, Lamar’s comments on Ferguson created the most controversy. When asked about Ferguson, Lamar said, “I wish somebody would look in our neighborhood knowing that it’s already a situation, mentally, where it’s f—— up. What happened to Michael Brown should’ve never happened. Never. But when we don’t have respect for ourselves, how do we expect them to respect us? It stats from within. Don’t start with just a rally, don’t start from looting, it starts from within.”


Banks fired back at Lamar’s comment via Twitter by writing, “That’s the dumbest s— I’ve ever heard a Black man say. How dare you open your face to a white publication and tell them that we don’t respect ourselves. Speak for your f—— self.”
