- Schulz’s joke referenced lyrics from Kendrick’s latest album, sparking backlash.
- O’Shea responded with a retweet, labeling the remark as ‘weird.’
- Schulz tried to defend his joke by invoking Ice Cube’s ‘No Vaseline,’ but O’Shea wasn’t having it.
- Meek Mill also weighed in, criticizing the insensitivity of Schulz’s comments.
Things got spicy when O’Shea Jackson Jr. found himself in a Twitter skirmish with comedian Andrew Schulz over a joke that rattled the internet. Schulz’s comments about having an intimate encounter with Kendrick Lamar weren’t taken lightly. O’Shea, noticing the controversial clip online, didn’t hold back, calling it outright ‘weird.’
Schulz’s remark was a nod to Kendrick Lamar’s line about comedians in his latest album. However, the joke twisted it further, sparking discomfort. Schulz jokingly claimed that Kendrick, alone, wouldn’t be able to fend off such advances, a comment layered with unsettling tones.
After O’Shea’s bold retweet, Schulz tried deflecting the heat by bringing up Ice Cube’s 1991 diss track ‘No Vaseline.’ He suggested that Cube had tackled similar themes, which didn’t sit well with O’Shea at all.
O’Shea sharply pointed out that the metaphor in ‘No Vaseline’ was about business betrayals, not personal attacks or misconduct. He argued that Schulz’s attempt to link it to his dad’s work was off-base.
Meanwhile, Meek Mill also chipped in through social media, expressing disdain about such jokes being made by a white comedian. Meek emphasized that while jokes might be commonplace, there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it concerns black identity.
Schulz doubled down by recalling a previous moment when Meek laughed at a similar joke. The comedian shared a screenshot of Meek’s reaction to a past stand-up bit where Schulz joked about rumors involving Meek and Diddy.
Despite the humor angle, the exchange highlighted how certain jokes hit different communities differently. What might seem like a comedic bit to some can be deemed disrespectful and problematic to others.
This exchange underscores the ongoing discussion about the boundaries of comedy, especially across different cultural contexts.
