Kendrick Lamar’s Slave-Era Comedy Hits Snooze Again, Skips 2026 Release Date

Kendrick Lamar’s untitled live-action comedy, shepherded by South Park architects Matt Stone and Trey Parker, faces yet another delay, with Paramount quietly removing it from its March 2026 slot.

Originally earmarked for a July release, then postponed, the project remains cloaked in ambiguity—no cast, no footage, just a sharply ironic premise: a Black slave re-enactor discovering his white girlfriend's ancestral ties to slavery. Production continues under Lamar’s pgLang and Parker’s Park County banners.

Kendrick eyes life beyond rap, but says hip-hop still runs the cultural show

Kendrick Lamar, the multi-awarded rapper and songwriter, reveals that music, despite its prominence in his life, isn't his ultimate destination. He opens up about deeper ambitions beyond beats and bars.

In a statement, he reflects on the enduring impact of rap, asserting it remains the genre with unmatched cultural resonance. His remarks hint at an ongoing inquiry into why this form continues to wield such influence in the broader societal conversation.

Kendrick Lamar lands in Toronto, rap feud in tow, no white flag in sight

Kendrick Lamar steps into Toronto not meekly but unmistakably triumphant, greeted as though returning from battle with spoils in hand. His Grand National tour, shared with SZA, arrives draped in the weight of rap’s most publicly theatrical feud.

The performance coils itself around this cultural reckoning, casting the show not simply as entertainment but as a closing argument to a saga decades in the making. One city, two artists, one stage—no apologies.

Kendrick Lamar debuts “Not Like Us” in Drake’s backyard—cue two-minute clap

The audience answers with a two-minute ovation, as if caught between admiration and theatrical disbelief, their applause both recognition and provocation.

Kendrick Lamar thanks BET for 'doing it right' after Album win, hugs SZA too

Kendrick Lamar, hands full and arms barely balancing multiple trophies, accepts Album of the Year at the 2025 BET Awards for his 2024 release, GNX. Tucked inside Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater, he greets the moment by embracing SZA and thanking the network for “representing the culture right.”

“I ain’t been here in a long time,” he admits, nodding to BET’s enduring presence. Before leaving, Kevin Hart ambushes him with more awards, turning the exit into a juggling act with ten nominations now tangible in his hands.

GNX, which debuted in November, holds the Billboard 200’s top seat for three weeks and produces the Hot 100 chart-dominator “Luther,” a duet with SZA spanning thirteen weeks at No. 1. The pair is now mid-tour, following their co-headlining Super Bowl performance earlier this year.

Lamar previously claimed this very award in 2018, marking a return that’s as ceremonious as it is characteristically understated.
