Kendrick Lamar challenged Barack Obama to a basketball game in Compton

In the latest ‘Kendrick Lamar really is a great bloke, isn’t he?’ news, it turns out the rapper challenged none other than President Of The United States Of America Barack Obama to a basketball game. In Compton.

He’s revealed as much in a new interview with Complex, also stating that The Actual President “needs to work on his jump shot a little bit… I’ve been trying to bring him out, that’s why I’m throwing shots at him right now,” he continues. “I want him to come to Gonzales Park in Compton.”

It’s not all ball games and banter though - on the subject of Obama’s plans once that odious slug Donald Trump takes his spot in the White House, Kendrick said the following: “From the conversations that we’ve had, I think he’s gonna be in the communities still, heavy. He will be there and be effective inside the urban community and communities around the world.”

Watch the full interview below.
