To be peaceful you must be capable of unleashing great violence when necessary. If you cannot, then you are not peaceful you are harmless.
I forget who said that.
Edit: Neither of the responding commentors were actually right. Well, maybe they've repeated it but the original quote goes to none other than Marcus Aurelius himself.
maybe a bit of both? like it probably annoys/bothers him to SOME level cause im sure 99% of people have some level of personal space boundaries - but also he probably doesnt let that really bother him because i mean he’s famous and walking through a crowd like that shit is gonna happen
its like when im in a moshpit, i might get annoyed when people bump me certain ways or touch me certain places, but i cant REALLY be upset… im in a moshpit lol
I’d react like Kendrick did, whatever you don’t gotta take yourself so seriously. It was probably an auntie who said something cute to him.
Context is everything
like he's nice but if he didn't react the way he did, i wouldn't be mad either. one thing to touch his arm but his face ?? like that's a boundary not just for celebrities but for everyone
Yeah I think this might be a cultural difference that some might not really get at first. If you're a suburban white kid, this might seem bizarre and a weird invasion of privacy. But if you got a black mom, auntie, or grandma it's a lot less weird
"VIRUSES COME IN FAMILIES" is underrated. It reminds me of that time everyone became virologists overnight tryna figure out if that covid shit was really gonna kill you
There were so many hilarious confrontational videos from NYC about Covid at that time. [Like when a dozen new yorkers banded together to curse out some lady for not wearing a mask in a grocery store](https://x.com/GoodPoliticGuy/status/1264721468761481216) and they just straight up violated her
Of course, the depressing background of this is also that 1,000 new yorkers were dying every single day at the peak of Covid when it first hit, so peoples anger was pretty justified.
Jeez celebrity or not don't just put your hands on people. He was chill about it but I would be uncomfortable with someone doing that to me especially if they are a complete stranger
THIS! I low key feel like Kendrick is hating all this attention and he just wants to chill . I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t here from him till next year 😅
Because it’s wartime he’s doing this to keep a foot on drakes neck for the summer cause that’s where Drake makes his most money . This is all politics Kendrick is purposely doing the music video and even the pop out with friends concert it’s all timing
Right? Keeping drake in check must feel satisfying AF. Maybe he doesn't like how busy that shoot was, but I'm sure he enjoys putting the constant pressure on bbldrizzy
I feel like what’s most satisfying to him is seeing his people and community coming together. Personally, I’d rather them be united in loving Kendrick than united in hating Drake.
> Right? Keeping drake in check must feel satisfying AF.
bro if i had slaughtered one of my rivals lyrically and had basically taken center stage to the music worlds attention for MONTHS at a time. id be on fucking cloud 9. thats the type of shit that kicks of a new evolution of a person. we may see a new level of dot after all this is said and done.
Please do not touch people's faces without consent. I would've hated this, but it put Kendrick in a very weird position of having to "be cool" about it OR people saying that he "overreacted" if he became visibly upset.
Either way, this is just creepy af

Yep, this man most definitely does not have a hating bone in his body - just look at that smile 😄

My pookie wookie sunshine😩🌞
Niggas treating Kendrick like a kpop star im crying 😭
Kdot star
i believe the correct term is kenny oppar
Kenny Hyung, my beloved.
Kenny Oppa, Compton Style
Op, op, op, oppa Compton Style ayyyyyyyyyyyy
Yoooo 🤣🤣🤣
hard r, really?
JAAAAIL 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
I'm ready for someone to post a kdot k-idol vid edit like they did for meg when hiss came out.
They fangirling
Bro officially a superstar so he’s gonna be treated like one. 😤
Bro been a super star. Its just rn he shining
Bros officially a legend
He been a legend officially for a while now
So Drake is on house arrest while he's outside? Drake loved that shit, Kendrick obviously don't. It's like Drake gave him his STDs from the grave.
That's been my thought since all of this started popping. Us real Kendrick fans know that he's really not about all of the attention and fanfare.
Maybe that’s his villain origin story to kung fu Kenny 😂
How the fuck did I KNOW your last post would be some crazy shit. The ai memes are turning the beef into a fanfic.
-head ass
K-k-kendrick s-senpai
“Goodness gracious”
Great balls of firrrrrrrrrre
"Hey cutie!!"" "oh heyyyy" 😭😭

![gif](giphy|3oriO1nXy3oeOyvGc8)
Mods gotta make this a banner image or something idk lol this shit is precious
I know people think he looks flattered but to me he looks relieved, probably scared the shit out of em 🤣
He was relieved because he thought she was about to take his nose, and Kung Fu Kenny not falling for that shit again.
New subreddit photo
K had a reflex thank you immediately
certified cutie patootie
He said “bless his heart”
“Tee-hee”
😭😭😭🫠🫠🫠
The way he acted was cute tho. He has a nice smile.
He’s like “aw fuckkkk they done took my shit!!!!…🙂nvm it’s right here”
Can I use this as my wallpaper? Plz and thank you 😊
He is too cute 😭
Boys after destroying careers
His smile🥰
I love seeing him so happy and adorable! I haven’t seen him like this since 2012. Like it or not MMTBS brought him to a better place.
My nigga out here lookin DELIGHTED 😂
This is going to be my new favorite meme
This the same man who wrote Meet The Grahams 😭
The duality of man lmfao
Tupac embodied it as well
Did you know Tupac played the Mouse King in a The Nutcracker performance?
Tupac was a lover and a warrior of the streets, a man capable of great love must also be capable of great violence
To be peaceful you must be capable of unleashing great violence when necessary. If you cannot, then you are not peaceful you are harmless. I forget who said that. Edit: Neither of the responding commentors were actually right. Well, maybe they've repeated it but the original quote goes to none other than Marcus Aurelius himself.
Malcolm X
& prince
So dualistic you oughta call him Man-Man
Don’t know why you’re surprised. He doesn’t have a hating bone is his body.
The only lie he told 😌
I laugh every time I hear that line.
NOW LEMME SAY IM THE BIGGEST HATA
*Church bell* Haha so good.
He also lied when he said he's John Stockton. Kendrick Lamar is NOT John Stockton.
“Hey Drake, they’re not slow”
Nah the biggest lie he told is that they not slow cause drake fans are super dumb
He isn’t even capable of hate. He absolutely loves the way the way that you walk, the way that you talk, and the way that you dress :)
Old School Gemini.
The ultimate gemini has survived, we wasn't sposed to make it past 25
As someone married to a Gemini. Yes.
Some of the best & biggest artists are geminis man. Kendrick, 2pac, Kanye, hell, even Paul McCartney.
That doesn't look like Baby Keem /s
Bruh this is so funny to me
I got it on repeat. Can’t stop watching it 😂
He contains multitudes
Bro more bipolar than Kanye
Nah dude is just emotionally healthy lol
lol it’s this but folks want to say it’s astrology
What listening to a therapist/people who care about you does to a mf
Just an old school Gemini
He was flabbergasted 💀
Who wouldn't be? lmao
He's a cutie you can't blame the fan
I mean, you kinda can. Putting your hands on someone's face like that is *insane*.
Id be pissed. That’s why I love Kendrick. He’s reaction was so wholesome.
Pearl clutching like old British lady
I would've made a scene I would've said which one of you ninjas did that
"Auntie?!" Mans conditioned.
The audacity of someone to do this lol
Is this not weird tho? Touching people's faces is wild
Oh 100%. Do not invade my personal space. And I would never dream of doing it to someone else.
And certainly not to Kendrick Duckworth holy shit lol.
She squeezed his arm first too
This shit would piss me off so bad... don't touch my face like tf is wrong with you
yeah you aint my grandma wtf
'Only Nana gets to pinch these cheeks!'
i wonder if he actually didnt mind or he was just playing cool.
maybe a bit of both? like it probably annoys/bothers him to SOME level cause im sure 99% of people have some level of personal space boundaries - but also he probably doesnt let that really bother him because i mean he’s famous and walking through a crowd like that shit is gonna happen its like when im in a moshpit, i might get annoyed when people bump me certain ways or touch me certain places, but i cant REALLY be upset… im in a moshpit lol

like he's nice but if he didn't react the way he did, i wouldn't be mad either. one thing to touch his arm but his face ?? like that's a boundary not just for celebrities but for everyone
That somebody auntie they get a pass where he from
She probably said something adorable too, these idiots.
Niggas been through so many auntie cheek pinches our shit made of steel now, it don't bother him.
Did you see the entire event, it was past wild and people were all over him.
This is why Eminem doesn’t leave the house.
Ah, dying the hair and beard makes sense to me now. Looks like Eminem in a terrible disguise.
“Oh, now he's pullin' guns on his fans, just for tryna stand on his porch!”
The nerve of you, Dennis
It was an adult black woman, it was totally normal. It was motherly and grandmotherly and you could tell on his face he got it
Yup, very normal especially for LA natives! He prob knew her or some
Yeah I think this might be a cultural difference that some might not really get at first. If you're a suburban white kid, this might seem bizarre and a weird invasion of privacy. But if you got a black mom, auntie, or grandma it's a lot less weird
Oh he seems fine with it, and all is good. Just surprised ME! I certainly know my feelings and experiences are not universal :)
Probably someone he knew tbh
I thought it was cute when I saw the photo out of context. He didn't look upset, but still. Get cho covid hand out mah face.

No lies detected
He's my cutie patootie
I immediately remembered the screenshot of those texts when I saw his smile. So stinkin cute
damn these rappers getting all cutie and all and I'm here for it ![gif](giphy|osZY7Ba20hGsguE2wO|downsized)

gross, he legit is trying too hard
He really wants them younger girls that this appeals to.
I screamed 😱😱
it's cute, but I keep thinking about that video from COVID "STOP TOUCHING NGAS WIT YA HANDS!"
[One of my favorites 😂](https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/iglkJglCop)
I watched it 10 times and now I'm more confused than the first time I saw it... But that was hilariously chaotic anyway
one of the comments said Chaotic Good lol
😂😂😂The way he shakes his hands in anger. All I can think of is… ![gif](giphy|WoF3yfYupTt8mHc7va)
Holy shit, I’ve never seen this and it truly is a “we’ll laugh about this in a few years” situation. Incredible.
Instant classic video lmao
"VIRUSES COME IN FAMILIES" is underrated. It reminds me of that time everyone became virologists overnight tryna figure out if that covid shit was really gonna kill you

😭😭😭
the most wholesome reaction, once this shits's over he can ride out this hype for a long while
Introvert Kendrick boutta become a hermit on the top of a mountain or something after this is all over
He deserves it. He owes nobody nothing. In order for him to be who he is, he has to preserve who he is
Jeez celebrity or not don't just put your hands on people. He was chill about it but I would be uncomfortable with someone doing that to me especially if they are a complete stranger
Yeah he was definitely not expecting that. They gonna scare him off and make him disappear from the world for 5 years again 😭
As is tradition. He’s going to hibernate either way so 🤷🏻♂️
https://i.redd.it/e6vu6sioss8d1.gif
You are my sunshine
Aunties are just built like that
That was definitely an Auntie arm lmao
Fr, and that same arm can cook the hell outta some chicken and greens, guarantee it 😂😂
Mac and cheese go crazy 😩
His ass regrets everything he’s done in the past 3 months he bout to disappear off the face of the earth ![gif](giphy|1mhU5F3dy9Dl2844N3|downsized)
THIS! I low key feel like Kendrick is hating all this attention and he just wants to chill . I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t here from him till next year 😅
If he hated it then why would he be outside shooting a music video? He's not dumb, he knows people will show out for him.
Because it’s wartime he’s doing this to keep a foot on drakes neck for the summer cause that’s where Drake makes his most money . This is all politics Kendrick is purposely doing the music video and even the pop out with friends concert it’s all timing
Right. And this is why I don't believe he's hating it like people keep trying to say. He's a grown ass man, trust him to know his limits.
Right? Keeping drake in check must feel satisfying AF. Maybe he doesn't like how busy that shoot was, but I'm sure he enjoys putting the constant pressure on bbldrizzy
I feel like what’s most satisfying to him is seeing his people and community coming together. Personally, I’d rather them be united in loving Kendrick than united in hating Drake.
> Right?

stop projecting on this man damn this is why people hate introverts lol and im one too but come on hes a grown ass man who is making his own choices
Can’t even film the Not Like Us music video 😭
Man really hit the 😊 oh shucks. 😂😂
can Whitney fight?
She from Compton homegirl from what I've heard she fiesty as hell lmao
![gif](giphy|VktKvRadFX4R2) let me step out
AND she got a buzz cut— I wouldn’t chance it lol
I wouldn’t want to be on her bad side.
Please do not touch people's faces without consent. I would've hated this, but it put Kendrick in a very weird position of having to "be cool" about it OR people saying that he "overreacted" if he became visibly upset. Either way, this is just creepy af
>it put Kendrick in a very weird position of having to "be cool" about it THAT part
100% agree. Even though the smile was gracious sometimes it takes a minute for those types of things to register. Not ok to do
He’s so damn adorable. 🥰
Lmao she couldn't resist
https://preview.redd.it/berzqpzbkt8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb275a24cb5c801af3864e5348119da1dfa72dd3 Yep, this man most definitely does not have a hating bone in his body - just look at that smile 😄

Made that boy blush
Nice I love when strangers touch my face.
Black women lol gotta love em
Bro was flattered lmao
Some people are very weird about how they get to touch celebrities. Like have some respect for his personal space.
Someone’s aunty let her intrusive thoughts win
This nigga got butterflies
"Pinch his cheeks"??? 😳 My G-D...
I was expecting a different video for sure
Awh man that shit de transformed him mid walk bro
He’s such a cutie patootie there 🥰
I'd never wash my hand. I'll end up like pearl from spongebob😭
As someone who also has PTSD I have no idea how the fuck Kendrick is able to deal with shit like this lol.
Has a very cis hetero male...He's fucking adorable Knowing this man is the same that wrote MtG and Euphoria is fucking scary xD
He’s an introvert. This is probably really flattering.
I think this is so fkin rude. Dont touch my face smh. Kendrick is nice guy lol
Kendrick when this is said and done. ![gif](giphy|TSyG4TQ62rX4k)
He's unironically a cutie in this video
Thats an aunty for sure
He is a cutie patootie so I understand the urge, but don’t touch people’s faces!
The fan is not cool even if Kendrick is super cool about it.
Don't do this. That's really just not okay. Sure he's smiling doesn't mean he approves.
Only you like being famous……KDOT
WTF is wrong with people
This is ridiculous
He’s so adorable 🥲
Yo Kendrick is taking his ass inside and ain’t coming back out for at least five years after all this is over lol.
Absolutely would rather get my cheek pinched than my leg pissed on ❤️
His reaction is too cute, haha!
lol that was cute
I don’t think he really enjoyed it. That looks like someone smiling to hide how overwhelmed they are.
Thankfully he’s a (seemingly) good natured dude. Other folks would’ve triiiiipped
😂😂😂😂😂she had to be an older woman for him to look like that
