What did Andrew Schulz say about Black women? Comedian calls Kendrick Lamar "too woke" after he seemingly dissed him on his album GNX
Kendrick Lamar recently released his new studio album GNX on Friday, November 22, 2024, in which he seemingly mentioned Andrew Schulz. Among several A-listers, including Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne, who Lamar had targetted in some tracks, he had referenced an unnamed comedian about their remakes for Black women.
While Kendrick didn't name the comedian, fans speculated he was talking about Schulz. On the song Wacced Out Murals, Lamar rapped:
"Don't let no White comedian talk about no Black woman, that's law."
For those unaware, Andrew Schulz made remarks about several ethnic groups on his podcast Flagrant. During a July episode, Schulz commented on his guests' explanation of the "Black girlfriend effect."
According to the effect, when a non-Black man begins dating a Black girlfriend, he changes his style to a faded haircut and beard. Reacting to it, Schulz said:
"They shave their hair because they start losing it because he's so stressed to be around this Black girl complaining all the time. They grow their beard because they need a cushion when they get slapped. I think the 'Black girlfriend effect,' it might be a protective instinct."
The remarks didn't sit well with netizens, which even prompted the podcast guests British podcasters James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu to apologize for laughing at the jokes Schulz made. They claimed they reacted based on their "fight-or-flight" response. However, the comedian himself refused to issue any apology, as confirmed by reports by Vulture.
On a later episode of Flagrant, Schulz said:
"With that joke about Black women—nothing. The fight or flight thing wasn't really there afterward."
Recently, DJ Akademiks spoke about Schulz's reaction during a live stream and said:
"I hit Andrew Schulz about that and I think umm his reaction was he's like 'Is this guy too woke to understand a joke'..."
