Kendrick Lamar has responded to a recent viral clip of a security guard crying at his show, saying, "that’s how you want everyone to receive your music."

Last weekend a clip of a security guard crying while Kendrick Lamar was performing "LOVE" in Houston went viral, and later revealed to his local Fox TV station that he "absorbed everybody’s emotions. I was trying my best to hold it together and I just cracked."

After Lamar's set at Rolling Loud Miami, young reporter Jazlyn "Jazzy" Guerra got to speak to the Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers artist, where he discussed the video, "It’s really just about the feeling of it. At the end of the day, past all the politics, past all the numbers, it’s what music makes you feel, you know, how it makes you feel," Lamar said. "To see that — and shoutout to him, by the way, because I see you bro — I was like, ‘man, I wonder what he’s going through'. At the end of the day that’s how you want everyone to receive your music, you know, make them feel good, make them feel like a moment they’re attached to can live forever."
