DJ Quik is contemplating legal action against Instagram for what he claims is a violation of his First Amendment rights. He shared his frustrations on Instagram, stating he might file a class action lawsuit against the platform and others like it.
Quik received an infraction on Instagram for a recent post and expressed his displeasure. He said, ‘I think the time has come for me to file a class action lawsuit against this and other social media platforms for violating my first amendment rights.’ In the caption, he reaffirmed, ‘I said what I said. And after, close this account altogether.’
However, he seemed to reconsider. Hours later, he posted on his story, ‘My lawyer just told me I’m wasting my time on Instagram.’
In related news, DJ Quik recently shared his emotions about missing Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Pop Out’ concert. He confessed to shedding tears over not being able to attend due to a prior commitment. During an interview at the 2024 BET Awards, he admitted feeling salty about missing the show, although he was on tour with Snoop Dogg in Canada at the time.
Quik recounted the moment, ‘I was knee-deep in Canada when all that unity happened. I cried myself to sleep that night in the dumb-ass Hilton hotel looking at you guys. I started hating.’ Snoop Dogg even tried to charter a jet to get them back in time, but it wasn’t logistically possible.
The ‘Pop Out’ concert, held at the Forum in Inglewood, featured many LA superstars like Dr. Dre, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Tyler, the Creator, YG, and Roddy Ricch. Kendrick Lamar brought members of the Crips and Bloods together on stage, marking a powerful moment for the city.
DJ Quik’s potential lawsuit against Instagram highlights ongoing tensions between artists and social media platforms. His heartfelt reflection on missing Kendrick Lamar’s concert adds depth to his recent experiences.
