Posted by Ghana – Kendrick Lamar‘s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is finally here and the Compton native has been celebrating out in Ghana. Footage of the rapper hanging out in the African country began circulating right before the album dropped, and now fans are getting even more footage of K Dot.
On Sunday (May 15), Mr. Morale himself was out getting a game of soccer in with some native Ghanaians. In the clip shared online, Kendrick waits as his team fights for possession before he darts off to attempt a kick at the goal, which ends up going awry when the ball gets stolen by a defender. Another piece of footage shows Kendrick Lamar posing for a group picture with the guys he played.
