Kendrick Lamar Calls Out White Fan Who Says N-Word Onstage, Kicks Her Off

Kendrick Lamar's recent performance at the Hangout Fest in Alabama had an uncomfortable, awkward moment when the rapper invited a fan to perform with him onstage, but she said the n-word.
We can't make this kind of stuff up. Lamar's set was going great when he decided to invite audience members to rap with him. There was a boy that he first invited onstage and that performance went just fine. But then, the MC invited a white girl named Delaney and she completely killed everyone's -- Lamar's included -- vibe when she uttered the word not once, but a couple of times.
She was rapping Lamar's "M.A.A.D City" when the awkward moment happened. And though black recording artists, and everyday people, have repeatedly told white rap fans to not say the word, there are some who still haven't gotten the memo. Delaney was one of these people. So, when Lamar heard her say the n-word onstage -- just a couple of feet away from him, no less -- he quickly stopped the track.
Not only that, but fans in the audience also started booing her. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait," Lamar said. Delaney replied, "Am I not cool enough for you? What's up, bro." The rapper was in disbelief by her response and said, "You gotta bleep one single word, though." She replied, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I do it?" Lamar answered her, "Yeah, you did it." Others who attended the show admitted that this moment was that much more cringeworthy in person.
Afterward, the crowd wanted her to get off of the stage. But, Lamar decided to give her one more chance to redeem herself. When she tried rapping the song again, the rapper decided that he had enough and kicked her off the stage. Watch the uncomfortable moment and reactions to it below. Many fans even tweeted #RIPDelaney in response to the concert. After this moment, Lamar cleverly played "B**ch, Don't Kill My Vibe." We bet.
