Sources close to Kendrick Lamar have said he has lined up several artists, including Taylor Swift for his next album.
Popular DJ Snake hinted about Lamar’s next project and named Taylor Swift as one of the collaborators. The speculation has, however, not been confirmed by either Lamar or Swift.
Lamar contributed to the remix of Taylor Swift’s hit track Bad Blood in 2014, which became a reference point in his feud with Drake.
Kendrick Lamar recently grabbed eight of eleven nominations at the BET Hip-Hop Awards, taking home accolades for Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Lyricist of the Year, and others.
In October, Rihanna endorsed Kendrick Lamar for the Super Bowl Halftime performance, saying she had no reservations about his selection as headline artiste.
