Kendrick Lamar Teases New Music From His Burner Account
Kendrick Lamar seems to be back in action, and he’s definitely not shy about throwing some lighthearted shade at his producer, Scott Bridgeway. On Tuesday (June 27), the Grammy-winning artist posted a few clips to his burner Instagram account. He shared a glimpse of their location, which serves as a tour bus turned recording studio.
During the video, the musician showed off his comedic streak in the shared footage by teasing Bridgeway for wearing a bonnet reminiscent of his recent slumber. “That brother rolled out of the bunk rockin’ the Yvette! Yvette!” he stated while harking back to Taraji P. Henson’s character from the 2001 film Baby Boy. He continued, “This man emerged from the bunk with the Baby Boy, the Yvette on.”
Further poking fun, K-Dot shared another sneak peek of Bridgeway at work, stirring up beats on his laptop with some of them being seasoned with Lamar’s ad-libs. The cheeky post also included an up-close-and-personal snapshot of the rapper wearing a face peel while seemingly enjoying a skincare regimen amid the grind.

Lamar’s secretive Instagram account made headlines earlier this month after previously being kept under wraps.
