Kendrick Lamar Called a ‘Trash Rapper’ by WWE’s New Day During ‘Raw’


Kendrick Lamar has a couple more names to add to his opp list for 2025. WWE’s Raw made its Netflix debut in Los Angeles on Monday night (Jan. 6), and wrestling tag team New Day called out the West Coast rapper in his home state.

“Think about it,” began the duo’s Xavier Woods. “The past six months y’all have been elevating this trash rapper Kendrick Lamar.” The heel turn was met with plenty of boos from the sold-out Intuit Dome crowd.


Kofi Kingston chimed in: “Boo him! We think he sucks, too. Boo him, yes!”


New Day welcomed the cheap heat. “Doing this in LA is insane work,” one fan wrote on X. Another added, “Top tier trolling…”


Others online complained that the clip was seen only by those in the arena and Netflix subscribers who opted for ad-free plan, while it was cut from the streamer’s standard-with-ads plan.


Billboard has reached out to Kendrick Lamar and Netflix for comment.


It’s quite the crossover for West Coast rap and WWE fans. Fans will have to wait and see if the move makes it onto Kendrick’s radar, and whether the Compton rhymer offers up any response in his music going forward.


Kendrick wasn’t the only rapper in the mix on Raw. Travis Scott pulled up to the star-studded Netflix debut, as his unreleased track “4×4” was implemented as the show’s theme song. The “Sicko Mode” rapper’s appearance was first teased by WWE’s Triple H, who announced on Nov. 17 that the rapper would be taking part in the debut. Netflix then announced the next day that Scott’s music would serve as Raw‘s new theme song.
