Kendrick Lamar has revealed that he has bought a Buick Regal, the same car he was brought home in from the hospital as a baby.
In a rare public comment, Lamar posted a number of pictures of the vehicle on his personal Instagram account including one which shows his reflection in the door.

Lamar also posted a lengthy but cryptic message about car and what it means to him.
“Aye life get real tricky,” he wrote. “no matter where you at with it. i never pick and choose what stories to relate to. all of them is relative. like my momma say tho. different strokes for different folks. a good ol saying can snap you back into reality sometimes. but in the moment of confusion, the best thing you can do is find a gnx. make you realize the only thing that matters in life is that original paper work.
“That TL2 code. 1 of 547. yea i finally changed. its over with. dhz. my big cousin pat dogg smiling down. anybody wanna line it up. i’ll pull heem off the floor and flip yo shit.”
Lamar previously revealed that the car has historic importance to him as he was brought home by his father in a Regal.
He said to Complex: “My pops put me on to rap. When I was born, I came home from the hospital in an ’87 Buick Regal while my pops was bumping Big Daddy Kane.”
Lamar also rapped about the car on early track “Wanna Be Heard” where he said: “As an ’87 Regal with the tree air freshener on the rearview mirror.”
Lamar shared new music earlier this year when a new track by the rap superstar was premiered during a short film for Chanel.
