There’s A New Meme In Town Thanks To Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar is certainly having his moment, even inspiring a new meme that is sweeping social media. 

Lamar recently shot the video for his undisputed Song of the Summer, “Not Like Us.” From it has emerged a photo of Lamar walking through the crowd at his shoot, proudly beaming. However, when one fan pinched his cheeks, the rapper was clearly amused by the gesture, flashing a huge smile as he moved along.

It doesn’t appear Lamar or his security were offended by the action, but the moment sparked a meme that has rapidly spread across the internet, especially on Twitter.
