**Compton, CA -** A recent LA Times article claiming that Compton business owners were frustrated with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” video shoot has been met with a swift denial. Corina Pleasant, owner of Alma’s Food For The Soul, took to Instagram to refute the claims, stating that her words were “misquoted” and a narrative was being pushed that she and other businesses do not represent.

Pleasant clarified that while the city could have provided better communication to businesses regarding the shoot, they have “no negative commentary for Kendrick.” She placed the blame on the city officials for the lack of notification and subsequent potential revenue loss.

Pleasant’s statement comes after weeks of speculation about a supposed rift between Drake and Kendrick Lamar fans. The LA Times article initially fueled these rumors, claiming that businesses were upset with the inconvenience caused by the video shoot.
