Rap-Up.com || Lady Gaga Supports Kendrick Lamar at Pitchfork Festival

Kendrick Lamar hit the stage at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago over the weekend, but it was the famous fan standing offstage who had everyone talking. Lady Gaga was seen cheering on the Compton MC as he performed.

The odd couple have struck up a friendship, which they shared in a conversation on Twitter.

Gaga, who rarely tweets other celebrities, showered praise on Dr. Dre’s protégé. “@kendricklamar #womenweedandweather listening to The Recipe,” she wrote. “Can your new album come out now so i can go out to clubs and dance again.”

The pop superstar even co-signed his brand new single “Swimming Pools (Drank).” “@kendricklamar sitdown DRANK stand up DRANK. are you teaching a lyric writing program in compton? ‘Swimming Pool’ is so cool,” she continued.

Their relationship didn’t develop overnight. “That’s a real good friend… a real good friend,” Kendrick told The Source.

When asked about a potential collaboration, he said, “God willing … for now I just like the friendship thing.”

Kendrick has been in the studio with Dr. Dre and Digi-Phonics working on his debut album good kid m.A.A.d city, due October 2.

@Barnett, You are just proving his point! You acting like she’s your religious icon or something who led a Revolution or something. She’s definately overrated since her fans act like this when anyone doesn’t worship everything she does. She’s a pop star dude she’s not Malcolm X or something chill the f**k out.

@Barnett, CHILL OUT dude… Let haters hate, a true Lady Gaga fan should turn the other cheek if you practice what she preches. @Tbozfan10 In a way Lady Gaga could be the next religious icon. Her “artwork” is full of the same imagery and symbols. She literally “preahes” at her shows about love and equality and showing compassion and empathy. Jesus did it his way, So did Buddah… Gaga does it through being a pop star. I wouldn’t say she’s like Malcom X…but she’s definetly got the same tenacity as him or MLK…for sure

It seems like Lady GaGa has toned down with the costumes, or maybe I’m not used to seeing her dressed down. I think she looks sexy though, her and Kendrick Lamar should collab.
