PEEP THE MESSAGE TMZ.com
D.L. Hughley is railing against everyone critical of Kendrick Lamar's halftime show ... coming to his defense in a major way!
TMZ caught up with the outspoken comedian on the heels of the rapper's multi-layered performance, which some detractors dissed as boring ... but D.L. sees the whole conversation as a win win for Lamar.
say what ??? Apple Music/NFL
D.L. feels white Americans only pay attention to Black Americans when they speak up as athletes or entertainers -- y'know, running, singing, dancing, or telling jokes.
