As it turns out, their love story began long before the rapper’s rise to stardom.
“People that have been by your side you’re supposed to honor that.”
And that’s exactly what he’s done with Alford.
In a 2015 interview withBillboard, he shared, “I wouldn’t even call her my girl.
That’s my best friend.
There’s a tremendous level of respect in the way Lamar protects Alford’s wishes to stay private.
‘She’s been here since Day 1.'”
(Again referring to her as a Day 1!)
And he doesn’t need to air out her personal matters for prove it.
Alford has slowly started sharing more and more on social media.
In fact, she’s played a more active role in Lamar’s musical journey than many realize.
“S*** can get real ugly.
I’m proud of the work we’ve done individually and as a family.
Honored to be a part of this album @kendricklamar.”
“Grateful for the courage I found to show up …
I brought every version of myself along on this trip and it has been a ride!”
