As rap fans continue dissecting Kendrick Lamar’s surprise album release Friday, several lyrics have sparked significant conversation.
On his track “wacced out murals,” Kendrick sets a clear boundary about respecting Black women. He raps, “Don’t let no white comedian talk about no Black women—that’s law.”
While Kendrick doesn’t name anyone directly, fans were quick to draw connections to Andrew Schulz and the ShxtsnGigs podcast hosts. Schulz’s controversial comments about Black women during an August podcast episode have faced widespread criticism.
The controversy erupted after the British podcasters James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu of ShxtsNGigs appeared on Schulz’s Flagrant podcast. The discussion veered toward the “Black Girlfriend Effect,” a TikTok trend that humorously highlights how non-Black men tend to “glow up” while dating Black women.
“You’ll see a guy who’s had a Black girlfriend, and all of a sudden he’s got a buzz cut, clean shape-up, tattoos,” Duncan joked.
The conversation took a turn when Schulz interrupted to bring up the stereotype of the “angry Black woman.”
“They shave their hair because they start losing it from being so stressed, being around this Black girl that’s complaining about sh-t all the f-cking time,” Schulz said, laughing. “They grow a beard because there’s more cushion when they get slapped. I think the Black Girlfriend Effect might be a protective instinct.”
Duncan and Dawodu laughed along with Schulz during the exchange and made no attempt to push back, which drew backlash from fans accusing them of failing to stand up for Black women. After facing criticism, the duo issued an apology to their audience, acknowledging their failure to address the offensive comments in the moment.
Schulz, however, defended himself and shifted blame to the ShxtsNGigs team in a later episode of his Flagrant podcast. He claimed their producer had requested cuts to other parts of the podcast but didn’t flag the segment about Black women.
“With that joke about Black women—nothing,” Schulz said on a later episode of Flagrant. “The fight or flight thing wasn’t really there afterward.” He also accused Duncan and Dawodu of apologizing only because of the backlash.
