AK Accuse Kendrick Lamar Of Plagiarizing his Video Concept In ‘The Heart Part 5’

A New Jersey Rapper named AK is calling out legendary rapper Kendrick Lamar for allegedly copying the video concept of one of his songs. Lamar released a video to his song “The Heart Part 5,” which drew an immediate reply from AK.According to AK, “The Heart Part 5” bears similarities to his own “Family Tree,” which was released in 2020.

Much like “The Heart Part 5,” “Family Tree” features AK morphing his face into Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and coincidentally, Lamar himself. In Lamar’s video, he morphs into Will Smith, Jussie Smollett, Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle. AK stated in a Monday morning Instagram video, “Maybe I’m fooling myself for thinking that Kendrick saw my video and was like, ‘Damn, that’s so good that I want to do it myself.'”
While in AK’s video, he pays homage to the greats before him, and the rappers’ faces are merged with his while he raps. The rappers in his video are Lil Wayne, Missy Elliot, Eminem, MC Lyte, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Nate Dogg, T-Pain, J. Cole, Nas, Rakim, Andre 3000, AK (himself), 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and Drake.

The song has, however, not been as popular as Kendrick’s new song. The views started jumping, however, as many persons came to watch it to compare it to Kendrick’s moving from 600K on Tuesday morning to 688K by afternoon on Tuesday.

Kendrick Lamar likely won’t respond to the allegations, but his final TDE album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers does release this Friday, May 13.

Here are BOTH 3 videos.

1. Michael Jackson ~ Black or white

2. AK ~ “Family Tree,”

3. Kendrick Lamar ~ “The Heart Part 5''

But I also think they were looking at a young rapper that we never heard of generally no that is suggesting that a rapper that we all heard of stole his concept.

This concept, by the way, has not exactly been new.

We seen numerous iterations of deep fakes. And creatively some of this theoretically goes all the way back to Michael Jackson and his black and white video.

So I think little man is getting a little ahead of himself.
