Kendrick Lamar is a moral hypocrite.

In a recent twist that has left the hip-hop community buzzing, Kendrick Lamar’s collaboration with Playboy Carti on the rapper’s new album has ignited fierce debate about the morality of aligning with artists accused of serious crimes. Critics, particularly from the Drake camp, are quick to label Lamar a hypocrite for associating with Carti, who faced felony aggravated assault charges stemming from a physical altercation with his pregnant girlfriend. This controversy raises a provocative question: Is Kendrick Lamar, who has made a name for himself by critiquing the exploitation and manipulation of women in the music industry, compromising his integrity by collaborating with a controversial figure?
