A song from Kendrick Lamar titled, "Money Without Me," landed on his official YouTube page without context, last night, and fans are confused. The track seems to date back over a decade to Lamar's Section.80 era and it's unclear whether he intended to upload it or was hacked. In turn, fans on social media are confused about the release.
In the comments section of the YouTube post, some users have been treating it like a new single. "Casually dropping a whole song this time is a goat move," one user wrote. "Love these no announcement drops. If the music is good, it’ll promote itself." Others have been trying to set the record straight. "This is from his section 80 days, don't know why it's out now, hacked?" another theorized.

The current cover art for the song resembles that of Lamar's latest album, GNX, which he dropped by surprise, last month.

Despite the change, it debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, moving 319,000 album-equivalent units. Additionally, tracks from the album occupied all of the Billboard Hot 100's top five spots. Across the tracklist, Lamar collaborated with SZA, Dody6, Lefty Gunplay, Wallie the Sensei, Siete7x, Roddy Ricch, and more.
