Kendrick Lamar has a lot to celebrate right now. His album To Pimp a Butterfly is topping the charts and he’s also newly engaged.
Lamar is engaged to his longtime girlfriend and high school sweetheart, Whitney Alford, which he confirmed on 105.1's The Breakfast Club.
When asked if they’re engaged he replied, “Yeah definitely. I’m loyal to the soil.”
“At the end of the day, you want to always have real people around you. Period,” he said. “Everybody that’s been around me has been around me since day one. People that been by your side, you’re supposed to honor that,” BET reports.
We barely hear anything about Lamar’s personal life, we mostly hear about his success in the rap industry. To Pimp a Butterfly spent the second week in a row this week in the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s charts.
It also broke global streaming records on Spotify – being streamed over 9.6 million times in the first day - and is currently No. 4 on the iTunes charts.
