Kendrick Lamar recently challenged President Barack Obama to a game of basketball in an interview with Complex during Art Basel in Miami. When asked how Lamar thinks the President’s time will be spent after his time being POTUS is up, the rapper says: “I think he’s going to be in the community still, heavy. He may not be POTUS, but he will be there and be effective inside the urban community and communities around the world.”

He also says that he feels the president will be “playing a little basketball. He gotta work on his jump shot a little bit [...] I’ve been trying to bring him out, that’s why I’m throwing shots at him right now. I want him to come to Gonzalez Park, Enterprise Park in Compton.” Watch the interview here.
