Kendrick Lamar has responded to Top Dawg Entertainment president Terrence ā€œPunchā€ Henderson teasing him over a Chanel photoshoot.

Taking to X on Tuesday (May 28), the record executive posted a screenshot of their text conversation about the photoshoot which took place earlier this year.

Punch sent Kendrick ā€” who was signed to TDE for over a decade before his departure in 2022 ā€” a picture from the shoot and asked him: ā€œWhat you doing dawg?ā€

The Compton rapper then responds with a number of laughing face emojis and says: ā€œI think Iā€™m cute on there man. Couldnā€™t resist.ā€

Punch continues grilling his former artist by asking: ā€œWhat you doing with these dreamy eyes n-gga???ā€ to which K. Dot jokingly admits: ā€œI couldnā€™t resist.ā€

The TDE boss then says: ā€œMan you gotta let me post this dawg. Iā€™m crying,ā€ to which Kendrick seemingly gave his permission.

Kendrick Lamarā€™s Chanel shoot was photographed by Malick Bodian in January, the same day he attended Chanelā€™s Spring/Summer 2024 fashion show in Paris.

The rapper designed the set for the show alongside longtime creative partner Dave Free.

K. Dotā€™s relationship with the high fashion brand also includes music as he debuted a new song in a short film that accompanied their Spring/Summer 2024 collection.

The unreleased track, which is more rock than rap, is rumored to be titled ā€œI Feel Something.ā€

Kendrickā€™s playful text conversation with Punch is technically the first thing heā€™s said publicly since his high-profile feud with Drake appeared to end earlier this month.

Snoop Dogg recently refused to pick a side in the beef but praised both rappers for putting lyricism at the forefront of their battle.

ā€œWell, the only thing I want to say about that whole scenario is that I want to give both of them a shout out for raising the bar as far as lyrics, as far as song-making and writing because the writing has been upped since the confrontation,ā€ he told Entertainment Tonight.

He added: ā€œThose are my nephews. Iā€™m not in the middle of it. I support both of them and thatā€™s personal business, not my business.ā€

Snoop also said: ā€œAs far as what they did for the industry and the rap game, they made you rap again. You canā€™t mumble your way and gimmick your way to a song no more, buddy. So thank yā€™all.ā€
