Lindsay Lohan’s father has branded Kendrick Lamar ‘a moron’ for attacking his daughter in the lyrics to controversial verse to Big Sean’s ‘Control’.

Speaking to Radar Online, Michael Lohan reacted to diss by saying: “He’s an idiot,” adding he’s “senseless. What can you say to a moron? I don’t know who this guy is. I ‘ve never heard of him. That says enough about what his opinion is.”

Maino Responds To Kendrick Lamar’s ‘King Of New York’ Claim…
…and nope, it’s (probably) not what you would expect from Maino, either:
Shiiit, last time I checked, Khaled was the King of NY. And Ross! Keep it real. We don’t even run our own city. #facts. U may disagree wit my POV but other than Jay who has the rite to claim they king here? I see artists from other places more celebrated and respected. Stop letting ur emotions supercede ur intelligence. Let’s all keep it real for 1 min. The music that dominates NY radio, Clubs and street is not from here. #facts. Lol same niggas mad at me is the same niggas that don’t support the same city they tryna defend. #Eatadickyouknowwhatimabout. B****!! Drake is the King of NY!!! Wayne is the King of Ny!!! Lol yall don’t even get it. Smh. Yall too emotional to see wut I’m saying. But ask urself, do u REALLY support NY artists? B4 yesterday did u love ur own homegrown nigga? My City don’t even love itself. So don’t ask how a nigga from Cali could claim NY’s Crown. If anybody got a problem wit wut I said I’ll b in Greenhouse tonite listening to the Kings of NY (Ross,Future,Drake,Wayne,etc) lol.
