How so? He put the snippets with his Black Israelite uncle on Damn as a way to reinforce the theme of problematic elements of Black culture and his immediate environment. It wasn’t ever supposed to be an endorsement. I don’t see how any brand of zionism really fits with Kendrick’s public persona at all. And the angle of him being a Five Percenter, Black Israelite, or Black Hebrew just doesn’t check out either, all those groups are extremely antisemitic meanwhile you got him sticking up for the Jewish community that was betrayed by Drake when he code switched on them too? Just doesn’t square at all.
