Following up Punch's Twitter response to rumors that Kendrick Lamar left TDE to focus on pgLang, TDE CEO Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith took to Instagram where he posted a PSA from Kendrick Lamar himself.
"Top, you got to stop them from smutting my name, man," Kendrick said. "They been smutting my name all year, man. You ain't said nothing. Enough is enough. Got them saying I done shook the label and all that. They must not know about that pickle juice that's under your red cap, man. About that sweat that's holding that red cap together. The reason that it don't fall off your head, man. You need to tell them that's the reason that cap don't fall off your head man. So, why would I fall off?"
While Kendrick's voice is heard in the playful post, the camera only show's a shot of a Blue Clues stuffed animal as Kendrick makes his statement.
