Kendrick Lamar buys disabled fan wheelchair-accessible van

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Jennifer Phillips has been a quadriplegic ever since she was in a car crash in 2007, but she didn’t let that stop her from showing off her love of Kendrick Lamar, attending his concerts in her wheelchair as she was determined to do all the things other girls her age liked to do despite her disability.

The one thing that was keeping her from her full potential was her non-wheelchair accessible van, but Lamar, who had noticed Phillips at his concerts and learned about her story, surprised her with a All terrain scooters for disabled during the Dallas stop of his tour.

In a touching video, Lamar is seen telling Phillips that he is going to give her his special DAMN. tour jacket. She shows off the jacket in the video, as well as the message he wrote for her:

“Thank you for always supporting me. Your [sic] a inspiration for me. You are strong and positive. Your [sic] kind and beautiful. For all the years of inspiring me, the least I can do is make sure your comfortable driving the city. A gift from me to you. Your [sic] always appreciated! — K. Lamar.”

Phillips took to Instagram to share the experience as well as her overwhelming gratitude, writing, “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. I’ve been to every show Kendrick has had in Dallas.”

“I was a big fan of music and concerts before my injury but I never supported and loved a label like theirs before,” she continued. “Of course they have great music but they are also great people […] I never supported them for any benefits like this lol. Their music and shows were enough for me. But this is amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all and always will. Thank God for you Kendrick and I will continue to pray for you. And like I said, next time I’m driving myself to your show lol. Thanks to the whole team!”
