Compton Restaurant Defends Kendrick Lamar After ‘Not Like Us’ Shoot Was Blamed for Loss in Revenue


A Compton restaurant defended Kendrick Lamar when people began criticizing the rapper's "Not Like Us" video for costing local businesses revenue.

Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported that local businesses in the city of Compton lost money because officials didn’t give them enough notice that Lamar’s music video was going to be shot in the area. As fans began criticizing Lamar for what happened in the comments section of the post, the official account for Alma’s Place vehemently disagreed.
