Denzel Curry Explains Why He Hates Rapping

by Daryl Nelson

Denzel Curry once said that he’s a better rapper than Kendrick Lamar. But these days the Florida native said that he's lost his love for rhyming and doesn’t feel appreciated.

Curry relayed all of this in a series of tweets on Monday, Nov. 23, and said that he’s tired of being asked about XXXTentacion since they were friends.

Everyone else fail to recognize my genius and influence

But you guys get me

Interviews only talk to me to ask about Jahs life ... bro if they really wanted to know him they should’ve asked him when he was here to actually speak for himself

I hate rapping

I watched my hobby that I did in my room become something I can’t even enjoy anymore because everyone has a opinion

I live in a era where you make a few good songs you die then become a legend
