Kendrick Lamar Named Brand Ambassador for Chanel

Share this post

Kendrick Lamar has been named a brand ambassador for Chanel, the fashion house confirmed Monday via Business of Fashion. In making the announcement, the Grammy and Pulitzer prize-winning rapper starred in Chanel’s latest eyewear campaign launching April 22.

“I visited the Chanel ateliers and saw the process of how something goes from design to execution. Seeing the people who work hard and bring these visions to life resonates with me,” Lamar told the publication in a statement. “Chanel has a timeless legacy and that is always something I can get behind. Since they don’t make clothes for men, I knew it would have to be glasses.”

News of Chanel and Lamar’s partnership comes as he and SZA begin their joint “Grand National Tour,” which will hit 19 stadiums across North America, between April and June of 2025.

Looked at month by month, it’s basically a calendar of “oh, that again” — and then a few titles that might actually feel new. From spring, things start stacking quickly. May brings The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Mortal Kombat 2, plus The Mandalorian & Grogu on May 22, the Star Wars entry that pulls Baby Yoda and Din Djarin onto

Zohran Mamdani Takes the Oath on a Quran in New York’s Hidden Subway Station

Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration was built around a simple, pointed image: New York’s first Muslim mayor taking the oath of office on a Quran, and not just any copy but a pair of books that tie his story to the city’s. The 34‑year‑old democratic socialist, a Ugandan‑born South Asian who ran on affordability, used a historic Quran from the New York Public Library alongside his grandfather’s and promised to govern “expansively and audaciously” without backing away from the platform that got him elect
