After spending more than a year trying to raise enough money to get a specially outfitted van, a Kendrick Lamar fan got the ultimate gift from the socially conscious rapper.
Lamar presented Jennifer Phillis with a signed jacket after his Dallas concert Friday, July 14. The apparel included a message from the rapper telling Phillips, a quadriplegic, that he would pay for her newly equipped van. Phillips, who XXL reported was in a car accident a decade ago, has been a huge fan of Lamar and his fellow Top Dawg Entertainment label artists.
As a result, Phillips was able to deactivate her long-standing GoFundMe campaign, which had raised $4,000.

Phillips proudly showed off the TDE apparel on which Lamar also wrote how much he appreciated her support throughout the years.
“If you know me or even just look in my Instagram profile for two minutes then you know I am a huge Kendrick Lamar and TDE fan/supporter for YEARS,” Phillips wrote of her dedication. “I’ve been to every show Kendrick has had in Dallas including the first one that even he forgot about lol and one in Austin. That’s eight shows and not including the other TDE artists shows. I was a big fan of music and concerts before my injury but I never supported and loved a label like theirs before.”
