  1. No. I haven’t. I was so surprised. I’m a girl from Africa. My genre is gqom music. They call me gqom queen. I was too shocked. Kendrick Lamar and me? Hip-hop and gqom?! What?

  2. I didn’t know about the movie or anything. I didn’t know anything. They told me it was about Black Panther. Like, I didn’t know. On Thursday, I’m gonna view it.

  3. Just see him. Hug him. You know, I need advice in everything from him. I just wanna ask him, “How do you do it? How do you do it?” As artists, we have a lot of challenges.
