Soon after a video surfaced of Bishop Nehru receiving praise and advice from Kendrick Lamar, Nehru spoke with HipHopDX about how the situation came to be.
“I was chilling after the [kendrick Lamar] show at Williamsburg Park [in New York] in my trailer,” Nehru said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. “Then I went outside. Kendrick’s manager was outside too and [he] told me to follow him. Went to the TDE trailer and was just chilling there for a bit.”
Nehru said Kendrick Lamar is one of very few artists that he listens to.
“It was cool knowing one of the very few artists I listen to listens to me as well,” Nehru said. “Kendrick’s a real chill dude.”
