Halsey Drops Surprise Kendrick Lamar Freestyle

Halsey recently delighted fans by sharing an impromptu rap performance, delivering a freestyle over Kendrick Lamar's iconic 2012 track, "Swimming Pools (Drank)." The singer, currently on her Back to Badlands Tour, shared the creative moment online, playfully taking on the role of Lamar's inner conscience. She urged him to be receptive to her guidance, stating, "I am your conscience; if you don't hear me, then you will be history, Kendrick."

The instrumental backing for Halsey's freestyle was created by rapper Dax, who has been building momentum with a viral rap verse challenge. Her fans responded with overwhelming enthusiasm in the comments section. Many expressed their admiration for her rapping talent, particularly noting her lower register, and urged her to release more music in this style, with one fan exclaiming, "This is hard."

This freestyle follows another recent performance where Halsey revisited her "Tokyo Narita" track. Before that performance, she publicly distanced herself from Kanye West, whom she references in the song, humorously prefacing the track with "it's f -- Kanye, OK?" This latest viral moment showcases Halsey's versatility and her engaging connection with her audience.
