"Kendrick Lamar, salute" The father of XXXTentacion , Dwayne Onfroy, has praised Kendrick Lamar for supporting his son when the late rapper released his debut album. Back in 2017, the controversial rapper – whose real name was Jahseh Onfroy – dropped ’17’ and Lamar promoted the record on X/Twitter. He told his fans to “listen to this album if you feel anything” and said the LP was full of “raw thoughts”.
In a recent Instagram post, Dwayne shared his thanks to the ‘Alright’ star by saying: “Special big up and shout out goes to Kendrick Lamar. Powerful king.” He continued: “I just want to say, first of all, thank you for giving my son a platform when he was an unknown artist.
A post shared by Dwayne Onfroy (@onfroydwayne45) “You gave him a shoutout when his album was released. You stepped up to the plate for him when a lot of people stood back and Spotify had him under pressure and weren’t attempting to play his songs.” Dwayne concluded: “Really king.
I’ve always respected you for that. California was my home, still love Cali’. Kendrick Lamar, salute.
Salute. Salute. A real yout.
Much, much respect, brudda.” The pivotal SoundCloud star’s dad was alluding to when Lamar stood up for X and other stars when Spotify introduced the Hate Content & Hateful Conduct Policy in 2018. Per the guidelines, the streaming app planned to remove the ‘Look At Me’ musician’s music from their editorial and algorithmic playlists due to him being charged.
