Andrew Schulz Doubles Down On Kendrick Lamar Comments: “I Hate Having To Explain Jokes”

Andrew Schulz has caught heat for his jokes plenty of times over the years, and most recently, he made headlines for his comments about Kendrick Lamar. The comedian stopped by Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club and spoke about the situation.

“When I saw them in those jeans, I was like, ‘Bing-bop-boom-boom-boom-bop-bam,’” Schulz joked, referencing K. Dot’s “peekaboo” track from GNX, when asked about whether or not he really meant his previous comments. He then attempted to clarify his original joke, adding, “They made that sh*t racist so fast. I’m just saying he’s little! I hate having to explain jokes. He’s itty bitty, so why is he telling people to kill my friends?”

Last November, the Flagrant podcast host became entangled in a “beef” with the Compton artist after the latter rapped “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman” on “wacced out murals.” During Schulz’s response to the perceived diss, he said at the time, “I would make love to him and there’s nothing he could do about it. Just Kendrick Lamar. I would make love to him and the only thing he could do is decide if it’s consensual or not, That’s the only thing he could do.”

Schulz went on, explaining to cp-hosts Charlamagne Tha God, Loren Lorosa, and DJ Envy how he interpreted Kendrick’s lyrics as a threat, so he felt the desire to defend himself. “The next line, he goes… ‘Slide on both of them.’ What does ‘slide’ mean to y’all? If you say kill my friends, everything after that is fine. You took it there… You gettin’ made love to. I don’t like this idea that I’m this big bully. You told your people to kill my friends.”

Lorosa pointed out that Kendrick was likely motivated by Andrew “coming at” his people. “So say ‘make fun of my friends,’” the comedian replied. “If he wants to play by those rules, don’t be surprised at the response.”

He ended his sentiments by saying he respects the “Poetic Justice” rapper’s artistry and slid one more joke in. “This whole thing got blown out of proportion. He’s a prolific rapper… to say he’s not fantastic at what he does is ridiculous and I have a lot of respect for anyone who puts things out for judgement. That takes balls and I admire people that have balls,” he said. Watch the segment above and the full interview below.

Aside from the aforementioned lyrical jab, Kendrick Lamar seems to have moved past the situation completely. He hasn’t referenced “white comedians” or Schulz at all, and instead focused his attention on his Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance, his latest album GNX, and prepping for his upcoming Grand National Tour with SZA.
