Riding on a wave of momentum, Kendrick Lamar has quickly risen to the top of the industry. His rise has been nothing short of meteoric, and he has broken quite a few milestones along the way. For the past several months, Kendrick hasn't just dominated the charts—he has turned them into his personal playground!
Recently, he was also named as the best-selling artist in the USA after embarking on a run for the ages. So here's to another feather in his cap, in a flurry of them lately for the Humble fame star.
Memes erupt as Kendrick Lamar is named the best-selling star in the USA
The latest-him becoming the #1 best-selling artist within the States, is another in a long list of accolades that Kendrick Lamar has swept up over the past 6 months. His stocks have skyrocketed since his beef with Drake, especially after that Super Bowl performance. Kendrick Lamar has become not just a musical icon but also a source of endless laughter in the world of hip-hop.
Even after his splendid run over the past year, doubts have still persisted over his record sales numbers. This proves that the internet is a clown circus where emotions reign supreme and authenticity goes for a toss. While Kendrick was basking in his success, social media kept buzzing with hilarious memes and jokes questioning the authenticity of his triumph.
Kendrick Lamar becoming the best-selling artist in the States hit some fans like a truck and they instead tried to playfully troll him. The conversation was quickly overtaken by Drake fans who tried to steer the conversation in a different direction altogether.
They suggested that Kendrick’s sales were powered by bots, which brought the internet to a halt:
"Yes and half of his clients are bots. “They Bot like Us”, trolled one fan (via X / @Jossi_224)
One fan in particular hilariously thought he was onto something by spitting these famous lines from Drake's song Weston Road:
"You platinum like wrappers, on Hershey's boy, that s*** is worthless", dissed another fan (via X / @416ix1872)
"The fact you think this is happening organically is hilarious", quipped another (via X / @OnyankoponTitan)
"Cap i don't hear a single soul playing his music", claimed one fan (via X / @king_meech30)
The Bot Theory has legs to it, as it was Drake who added fuel to the fire with his latest lawsuit. Whether bots were involved or not, Kendrick Lamar’s fans have turned this conspiracy theory into a comedic masterpiece. They joined in the fun and stoutly defended their idol from Drake stans:
"Not surprised. Man been rapping like he’s writing essays in MLA format with citations since day one", joked one fan (via X / @AvaTlovenotes)
While a debate was raging on between Drake and Kendrick fans, somehow Kanye still found a way to enter into the mix. He recently called out Kendrick Lamar on X and claimed he didn't want to see him on Playboi Carti's video. Fast forward a week, and Kendrick has just won the best-selling artist award while Ye is still yapping on X about Kendrick being an industry plant! Fans trolled Ye mercilessly, calling out his taste in music:
"But Kanye says his albums bombed", joked the fan (via X / @pureshimon)
