The boy was dressed in cream, not white, and performed alongside Lil Wayne. To make it more comfortable for him, no Kendrick Lamar music was played during the event.
Accordingly TMZthe house DJs stayed away from anything that came from Lamar.
And now Michael Rubin reveals that he made that decision. During his appearance on The Breakfast Club, Rubin revealed that it was his decision. “I just didn’t think it was appropriate, so I said, ‘Hey, let’s not play the music of someone who’s at odds with someone,'” Rubin said. “That was my decision. I just didn’t think it was appropriate.”
