Rapper Kendrick Lamar called out a white fan he invited onstage with him for using the n-word.

Lamar - who was performing his hit "M.A.A.D City" at Hangout Festival on Sunday night - invited a white, female fan named Delaney onto the stage with him, but was forced to interrupt her after she repeatedly used the n-word during the track.

During the Alabama festival, the Compton rapper stopped the music when he heard the fan rap the racial slur, which features in the track's lyrics, multiple times.

When the music stopped, Delaney asked, "Aren't I cool enough for you? What's up, bro?"

The audience booed the fan after hearing her rap the racial slur three times.

Lamar proceeded to say "you got to bleep one single word, though," referring to the fan's use of the n-word.

The fan replied saying it was an absentminded mistake: "Oh, I’m sorry. Did I do it? I’m so sorry… I’m used to singing it like you wrote it."

Lamar then gave the fan an opportunity to redeem herself by letting her continue rapping and also censor herself.

The 30-year-old musician's performance comes one month after winning the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his 2017 album DAMN. Lamar's win was the first for a non-jazz or classical artist.
