Andrew Schulz is facing intense backlash after making a controversial remark on his Flagrant podcast about Kendrick Lamar, leading to a firestorm of criticism, particularly from prominent figures in hip-hop. The controversy started when Schulz responded to a line from Lamar’s song “wacced out murals”, which includes the bar: “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black woman, that’s law.” While Lamar never named Schulz, the comedian interpreted it as a diss aimed at him, particularly after a previous incident where Schulz made a joke about Black women.
In his podcast, Schulz made an inappropriate and widely condemned comment about Lamar, saying, “I would make love to him and there’s nothing he could do about it,” in a sarcastic response to Lamar’s perceived criticism. He also made derogatory remarks about hip-hop’s treatment of women, comparing it to his comedic work and using language that many interpreted as likening sexual assault and rape.
This remark sparked outrage, with responses from figures like Punch Henderson, president of Top Dog Entertainment (TDE), who tweeted his disbelief, “Wait… wait… did my guy say he want to sleep with Dot??” (Dot being Kendrick Lamar). O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ice Cube’s son, also slammed Schulz, calling him a “weird a** n****” and clarifying the meaning of his father’s song No Vaseline, emphasizing the difference between business and personal insults.
Hip-hop personalities such as Peter Rosenberg also criticized Schulz’s take on misogyny in hip-hop, calling his comments “so painfully bad” and questioning his authority to discuss the genre’s culture.
Schulz has yet to offer further comments regarding the controversy, leaving his remarks to fester among critics and fans alike.
