Where did I blame Kendrick? I’m literally hoping the best for the man cause being homeless while grieving for his kid is crazy
I just thought everyone who was on the album will be in the tour.

Not saying you blamed him.
Also, to be fair, this is a stadium tour, you always take openers that have a certain...popularity.
Eminem's openers for his stadium shows were Kendrick and Cole.
Kendrick and SZA got Mustard.
You gotta be a star to open at a stadium show since its a full concert in itself. Some of these dudes have no music to perform.
Edit: Dody6 was in the video they shot for the tour, they projected it during the Hey Now performance. No doubt he'll join Kendrick for the 3 L.A. shows

Beanz...you're just one hit away.
What had he done since that Kendrick song?
AZ capitalized on his feature, bounced back from that drakeo beef and has a decent buzz right now.
This is the first time I'm hearing from Dody since that feature. I feel for him but you gotta know when to snatched opportunity when it comes.

It’s Kendrick’s fault
he doesn’t plant no money trees /sarcasm

I am untethered and my rage knows no bounds!
Tell em Kendrick did it
Clearly once you feature on an artist's song, that artist is now responsible to provide for you and all decisions and outcomes will circle back to them
you don't work you don't eat
people tend to be homeless when they not working.
him being mad at a song and not his damn hands and legs that's not broken is the problem... get the fukk outta here.

humiliate who?
only smooth brain net dwellers falling for these dumb optics
it' don't move nobody with a functional brain
kendrick doesn't have to do shyt
the internet is jackass heaven.
Dody6, this is your moment—having a feature on Kendrick’s album is huge. Here’s how you capitalize on it and stack your paper while building your legacy:
1. Brand & Image Lock-In
2. Drop Your Own Music
3. Monetize Your Story
4. Leverage the Industry Heat
5. Social Proof & Content
6. Reach Out for Strategic Partnerships
1. Brand & Image Lock-In
- Update All Platforms Immediately: Change your bios everywhere (“Featured on Kendrick Lamar’s #1 album of the year”). Pin the song, post BTS footage, clips, and interviews. Let people know you’re next up.
- Press Run: Do interviews on podcasts (No Jumper, Say Cheese, LA Leakers, etc.). Hit radio, blogs, YouTube reaction channels—milk the buzz.
2. Drop Your Own Music
- Strike while it’s hot: Drop a solo single or EP ASAP. Include a lyric or visual nod to the Kendrick track—ride that wave hard.
- Music Video: High quality. Make it clear you’re not just a feature artist. Give them a reason to stay after hearing you with Kendrick.
3. Monetize Your Story
- Merchandise: “Dody6 x Kendrick” inspired drops (with your own spin). T-shirts, hoodies, limited collabs with local LA designers.
- NFTs / Digital Drops: If your fanbase is tapped into Web3, sell exclusive content or behind-the-scenes.
4. Leverage the Industry Heat
- Secure Management or Booking Agent: You’ll start getting offers—be ready to filter and negotiate. Don’t sign desperation deals.
- Get on Features & Shows: Other artists will want that “Kendrick magic” by association—charge for features and ask for show slots.
5. Social Proof & Content
- Social Media Strategy: Post freestyles, behind-the-scenes, fan reactions to your verse, clips from interviews. Engage with comments. Respond to fans.
- YouTube Channel: Break down your verse. Give people a reason to follow you, not just the feature.
6. Reach Out for Strategic Partnerships
- Brand Deals: Especially in LA—look for streetwear brands, cannabis brands, local venues. Use the “Kendrick Co-Sign” energy.
- Sync Licensing: Pitch your own music to get placed in shows, ads, video games.
fukked up situation hope he makes it through, but this just means he didn't have a plan for his music career after the feature 
All the other features confirmed it changed their life...but they also:
-dropped music
-did interviews
-...
You're supposed to do something after a featuring on another artist' album
I haven't heard frm this dude since the album release lol.
