Kendrick Lamar has once again set the internet abuzz. This time, it’s thanks to an unexpected shoutout to producer Mustard in his new track “TV Off.” The moment, where he screams “Mustaaard!”, has been turned into memes and parodies across social media platforms.
Mustard was caught by surprise but took it all in stride. In a chat with Billboard, he said, “That shit was elite. So fire.” He is excited to hear fans chant along during performances, and he’s even pondering if this could become his new signature tag.
Kendrick’s album GNX is packed with bars that grab attention. On the first track, “wacced out murals,” he finally addresses the chatter about his Super Bowl halftime show. Some fans believed he blocked fellow artist Lil Wayne from the spotlight. Lamar speaks candidly, expressing his perspective on the situation.

Meanwhile, Lil Wayne didn’t stay quiet about the matter. He took to social media, notably on X, questioning why he always seems to be targeted, “Man wtf I do?!…No one really wants destruction, not even me but I shall destroy if disturbed.” These words came after Wayne shared his feelings of being “hurt” and “broken” over not being chosen for the performance.
Kendrick didn’t hold back, also mentioning how only Nas reached out with congratulations after he won the Super Bowl. He criticized outdated artist styles and made it clear he’s steering away from lyrical complexities to deliver raw emotions.
The exchange between Kendrick and Wayne stems from a past video where Wayne aired his disappointment about not headlining the Super Bowl in New Orleans. The rap legend expressed his sense of loss and yearning for that stage in his hometown.
Kendrick Lamar’s latest album has sparked excitement and debates, with Mustard’s viral moment being just the beginning.
