Kendrick Lamar Bought His Sister A Toyota For Graduating And People Have A Lot To Say

In the age of social media, everyone's got to put in their unsolicited two cents.

Kendrick Lamar has worked hard enough to be considered a wealthy star. And while he’s not raking in the billions like Jay Z and Beyoncé, he is said to be worth a cool $18.5 million. According to Forbes, Lamar came in at No. 9 on the 2016 Cash Kings list. Specifics on his booking fee remain a mystery, but it’s likely that the rapper pulls in six figures per performance. With that said, Lamar can spend his money in whatever way he desires. And he recently did, buying his little sister, Kayla Duckworth, a 2017 Toyota for her high school graduation. The proud graduate shared pictures of the ride on Instagram. While a few trolls thought he should have bought her something more lavish, like a Lamborghini or BMW, the majority of comments thought it was sweet and practical gift.  

The ppl criticizing Kendrick Lamar for buying his sis a Toyota are the ones who own a BMW with every light on.

What did y'all expect? A Bugatti for an 18yo? Kendrick Lamar has never been flashy. He bought a smart, reliable car. She's happy. The end. https://t.co/n4TvESLzSX

In addition to graduating on time, Duckworth has a 3-year-old daughter. So it’s likely her brother wanted her to have a safe, reliable car to get around with. But logic is clearly not what trolls think about before typing.
