An Alabama white girl named Delaney who used offensive racial language at Kendrick Lamar’s concert being attacked by a group of black students at school is satirical news. There is no truth to a report that black high school students beat up a white girl in Alabama because she had used offensive racial language during Lamar’s concert. Rather, the story plays off a real incident and twists it for satire.
Where did this satirical news originate? Huzlers published the satirical news article on May 24, 2018, reporting that an Alabama woman named Delaney was attacked by black students because she sang offensive racial language onstage at Lamar’s concert. You can read the satire below.

ALABAMA – Days after Kendrick Lamar’s performance at the Hangout Festival in Alabama in which a white girl, identified as “Delaney”, was booed off stage for singing the n-word, it is being reported that Delaney was beat by a group of students at her high school in Gulf Shores.
According to authories at the school, Delaney was beat by a group of around 8 black students. Authorities are also speculating the beating had something to do with Delaney saying the n-word on stage with Kendrick Lamar.
“She should’ve never said the n*gga” said one of Delaney’s teacher who is also black, “she asked for it”. Delaney was taken to a nearby ER room where she is being treated in serious condition. According to nurses, Delaney has multiple broken bones. It is unsure how long Delaney will stay in the hospital.
However, there is no truth to the above story. What is the problem with the story to make it false? The above story contains spelling errors and a lack of information to identify authorities. There is no legitimate news coverage of such an attack occurring to Delaney as a result of her experience at a Lamar concert. A simple search of The Birmingham News comes up with no results for the alleged attack.
The above story plays off a real incident in which Lamar invited a white fan named Delaney onstage during his set at the Hangout Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The two were rapping to his 2012 hit song “m.A.A.d city” when Delaney failed to self-censor and said full lyrics which included the N-word. After she said it more than once, Lamar, cut her off and addressed the issue, although Delaney seemed confused.

No this is ridiculous. Yes she made a mistake. Did she deserve this? Absolutely not, I really hope Kendrick Lamar denounces this because it’s absolute bullshit. https://t.co/acHX3CEf8Z via @TheHuzlers
