Andrew Schulz has somehow found himself at the center of a narrative involving Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, largely due to his reaction to what appeared to be a diss about “wacced out murals.” For those unfamiliar, the comedian made a provocative joke on his Flagrant podcast, where he humorously claimed he could “make love” to Kendrick Lamar, adding that there was nothing the Compton rapper could do to stop him. During the most recent episode of the podcast, 50 Cent was a guest and chose to confront Schulz about these comments.
Schulz, however, brushed off the confrontation, suggesting that his remarks had been taken too seriously. In a playful tone, 50 Cent “apologized” to the camera, joking that he had misunderstood Schulz’s intentions.
“I’m a fan of your work. But I don’t get what made you say you were going to f**k Kendrick,” 50 Cent said to Schulz regarding the incident. “Look, I follow comedic culture. I watch comedians. I enjoy their work on a whole other level. What I appreciate about them is that they’re invincible. When I watch, I think, ‘There’s no point where they can say or do something that truly damages their reputation.’ Like, Katt Williams could get into a fight with a 15-year-old and lose, right? […] But it wouldn’t hurt Katt’s standing; he’s still that guy.”
50 Cent went on to share his thoughts on the broader world of comedy, reflecting on Jamie Foxx’s new special. “I was watching Jamie’s new piece, and he mentioned Katt. To me, that meant Katt had to be relevant enough for Jamie to bring him up,” 50 Cent said. “When I watch Andrew, I’m always prepared to laugh. I’m conditioned for the punchline, and I’m usually never disappointed. But Jamie’s show? Man, that hit me like a rollercoaster. He took it to a place where I was like, ‘Oh… wow.’ It was emotional.”
Given the ongoing banter between Andrew Schulz and Kendrick Lamar, it’s clear this saga is far from over. Whether it’s 50 Cent offering more commentary or the wider hip-hop world continuing to weigh in, it’s sure to remain a rich source of material for both comedy and music discussions alike.
