Over the weekend, we learned that proud big brother Kendrick Lamar bought his sister a brand new car as a high school graduation gift. 

K. Dot and his little sis are very close. Not only has he shouted her out in a couple of his songs, but the rapper even attended her graduation ceremony, recently. "Thank you big brother for my graduation gift! ❤️ @kendricklamar," Kayla Duckworth said on Instagram with pictures of her new whip.

Unfortunately, haters are always lurking around whenever someone shares some good news. Critics on social media have voiced that they don't understand why a famous millionaire recording artist like Kung Fu Kenny would buy his sister a Toyota. Why not a Bentley or Mercedes?! 

These people are also, most likely, not as financially-secure as Lamar. So, they should be the last ones to talk. Read some Twitter reactions where fans of the rapper defended his car choice for his teenager sister below.
