Andrew Schulz Stands His Ground Against Kendrick Lamar Backlash, “I Hate Having to Explain Jokes”
Comedian Andrew Schulz is known for speaking his mind, and he’s making headlines again due to a recent controversy involving rapper Kendrick Lamar. During a discussion on The Breakfast Club, Schulz addressed the backlash he received after responding to a line from Lamar’s song, “wacced out murals.” The trouble started when Lamar made a reference to Schulz in his lyrics. In response, Schulz made a joke that many people found offensive, implying he could take advantage of Lamar because he’s shorter. This comment led to criticism, with many calling his joke inappropriate and harmful.
Nonetheless, Schulz defends himself, stating that context is important and believes he was responding to Lamar’s challenge. “They turned it into something racist right away. I’m just pointing out that he’s small!” Schulz said, expressing his frustration over the uproar. He added, “I don’t like having to explain my jokes. He’s little, so why is he telling people to harm my friends?” Schulz also pointed to Lamar’s lyrics, arguing that since Lamar made aggressive statements first, his joke was fair game. While Schulz sees the outrage as an example of selective sensitivity, many believe he went too far. This situation has sparked broader discussions about the limits of comedy, artistic expression, and whether responding to insults in entertainment is acceptable.
However, Schulz remains firm in his stance, suggesting he’s not the real villain. “I don’t like being seen as a bully. He told his fans to harm my friends,” he emphasized, suggesting that Lamar’s aggressive lyrics prompted an equally strong reaction from him. As this back and forth continues to draw attention, one thing is clear: Andrew Schulz isn’t backing down, and the backlash isn’t going away either. Whether this situation will calm down or escalate remains to be seen, but Schulz’s refusal to apologize highlights his unfiltered and unapologetic style, for better or worse.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
