Liam Gallagher has responded positively to Kendrick Lamar performing while wearing an Oasis t-shirt. He shared his reaction on X (formerly Twitter).
The Oasis frontman’s brief but approving comment addressed the hip-hop star’s choice to wear the band’s merchandise during a recent performance.
“KEN knows the score,” Gallagher said.
This cross-genre moment reflects the broader cultural impact both artists continue to have in their respective fields. Recent developments highlight their ongoing influence in music.
The timing of Gallagher’s endorsement comes as Kendrick Lamar prepares for one of music’s biggest stages. American Songwriter reported that Lamar is set to headline the 2025 Apple Music Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show. The announcement has generated mixed reactions from various quarters.
The Gallagher brothers have shown contrasting responses to Lamar’s recent prominence. American Songwriter noted that Noel Gallagher offered a notably brief two-word critique of Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show performance. This demonstrates the different perspectives within the Oasis camp.
The musical connection between the artists extends beyond fashion choices into chart competition. Official Charts revealed that Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was recently just 500 chart units away from taking the top spot in the UK charts. It was competing directly with a re-release of Oasis’s “Whatever.”
This moment of mutual recognition between Liam Gallagher and Kendrick Lamar represents the kind of cross-generational and cross-genre appreciation that continues to shape modern music culture. It bridges the gap between British rock and American hip-hop.
