Kendrick Lamar Gave Advice To A Young Fan During His Concert, Later Wrote Him A Handwritten Letter: You Will Forever Be Great [VIDEO]

On August 14, the Compton rapper was performing at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit as part of his “The Big Steppers Tour,” when he spotted a young fan in the audience. According to footage shared to social media, Kendrick Lamar noticed the 9-year-old kid holding a sign that read,

“My name is Kendrick. This is my 1st concert. Can We Take a Pic.”

After reading the sign, the 35-year-old musician gifted the young boy — also named Kendrick — with something even better. Kendrick Lamar briefly paused his performance to talk to the young fan in the crowd, speaking encouraging words to him from the stage and sending him home with a handwritten letter.

“Always honor them, man. They brung you to your first concert. Always respect and honor them.”
