In a conversation on VicBlends’ DeepCut podcast in October, Obama was asked about Kendrick Lamar and Drake. “Kendrick is a friend of mine. I’ve known him for a long time. He actually performed at the White House. I’m pretty confident in saying not many presidents were familiar with Hip Hop,” he said. “I do think that Kendrick has a unique status right now, not just because of this summer. He’s not just gifted; he’s serious about the message he tries to… he digs deep into himself.”
“When we get together, he wants to talk about fatherhood,” he revealed about talks with Kendrick Lamar. “Those are the questions he’s talking about. He’s got a couple of young kids and he’s taking that very seriously.”
