Kung Fu Kenny had the honour of sitting front row with Dave Free, Naomi Campbell, and more famous faces.

From the early days of his career, Kendrick Lamar has always been in a league of his own. The Compton native remains the only rapper to hold the honour of a Pulitzer Prize for his work on DAMN. Though he's kept relatively quiet on the music front lately, he's certainly keeping his presence felt overseas for Paris Fashion Week. Earlier this week, Lamar shared a new song in tandem with Chanel. The brand is using it to soundtrack a short film teasing today's (January 23) runway presentation.

As Elle reports, the Spring/Summer 2024 collection was "an ode to the Chanel jacket," which the father of two wore while sitting front row. On his Finstagram account this morning, Lamar showed off his posh black and white button-up. He wore it with light-wash jeans and a white tee. The brand is known for popularizing timeless accessories like pearls, some of which Kung-Fu Keny wore on his hat for the special occasion. "no bunk skunk. dave ghetto scorsese. hand shakes n hugs to pg lang. on kenzel washington," he wrote in the caption of his photo dump.

Paris Fashion Week is in Full Swing

On his feet, Lamar notably wore a fresh pair of Adidas sneakers, earning him love from followers. "Ni**a wore Crazy 8’s to Chanel show. Compton ni**as better," a fellow Californian wrote in the rapper's comments. "You and Dave not playing fair!!!" someone else chimed in, referring to Dave Free who also had the privilege of sitting front row.
