Kendrick Lamar Buys Disabled Fan A Wheelchair Accessible Van (VIDEO)

Kendrick Lamar loves his diehard fans more than anybody. That's why he wanted to show love to one of them, Jennifer Phillips, during a recent DAMN. tour stop in Dallas, Texas. 

Phillips was in a terrible car crash, back in 2007, that left her a quadriplegic. But, throughout all of her obstacles, she continued to be one of Lamar's biggest supporters. Every time the MC comes to Dallas, she's always there at his concerts, cheering him on. If you go on her social media, there's nothing but Lamar and TDE posts that prove this. So, Kenny decided to pay it forward. 

One of Phillips' friends shot video of Lamar gifting Phillips a signed DAMN. tour jacket. There was also a touching note on the merch. It read: “Thank you for always supporting me. Your [sic] a inspiration for me. You are strong and positive. Your [sic] kind and beautiful. For all the years of inspiring me, the least I can do is make sure your comfortable driving the city. A gift from me to you. Your [sic] always appreciated! — K. Lamar.”

But, that wasn't the only surprise! A while ago, Phillip made a GoFundMe to help buy a wheelchair accessible van. Thanks for her idol, that's been fully paid for, as well.  

Wow, just when you thought Lamar couldn't be anymore of a dope guy! Check out some more posts from Phillips' great night below. 

So about last night… lol. If you know me or even just look in my Instagram profile for two minutes then you know I am a huge Kendrick Lamar and TDE fan/supporter for YEARS. I've been to every show Kendrick has had in Dallas including the first one that even he forgot about lol and one in Austin. That's 8 shows and not including the other TDE artists shows. I was a big fan of music and concerts before my injury but I never supported and loved a label like theirs before. Of course they have great music but they are also great people. None of them have ever treated me like a stranger or a charity case lol. I didn't meet them because I'm in a wheelchair. I just know great people (shout out to @bluethegreat for the initial in person introduction to Dot & Q). I never supported them for any benefits like this lol. Their music and shows were enough for me. But this is amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all and always will. Thank God for you Kendrick and I will continue to pray for you. And like I said, next time I'm driving myself to your show lol. Thanks to the whole team! #tde
