Kendrick Lamar's Daily Routine: Running with God

Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar may be known for his poetic lyricism and thought-provoking tracks, but there's more to his day-to-day life than music. In a recent interview with SZA for Harper's Bazaar, the notoriously private artist revealed how running and spirituality fuel his creativity — and even earned him the nickname Big Protein. Here's a deep dive into Kendrick's inspiring (and unexpectedly relatable) routine.

Morning Miles and Divine Downloads

For Kendrick, mornings aren't just about hitting the snooze button or sipping on coffee. They're for hitting the pavement.

“My early-morning practice is that I have to run,” It's not just about fitness — it's a spiritual experience.

“I remember my shins were aching, and I had just one more mile to go,” he explained. “Then I started getting whispers and downloads, and before I knew it, I was three or four miles in.”

Apparently, those post-run epiphanies fuel Kendrick's creative genius. "That's where I started to understand things — through the pain threshold. It's spiritual for me."

Conversations With God (While Running)

And if you thought running was just about cardio, think again. Kendrick revealed that he literally talks to God during his runs.

“It’s to a point where I think I’m going crazy,” he joked, “but then He has to remind me, ‘No, this is really me.’”

With such profound morning chats, it’s no wonder Kendrick consistently delivers music that resonates on a deep level.

Big Protein Energy

Fans might know Kendrick as Kung Fu Kenny, but he's also embracing his new nickname: Big Protein.

Why? Because Kendrick reportedly takes in an impressive 150 grams of protein a day to fuel his fitness routine. Whether he's munching on grilled chicken or downing a protein shake, the man is serious about staying in shape.

In fact, Kendrick even shared a rare workout video on his low-profile Instagram account, proving that his dedication extends beyond the studio and stage.

Out-of-Body Performances

Kendrick also opened up about his surreal experiences while performing.

“I say some s— on a record and identify with a moment, and then I don’t identify with it anymore. That’s just growth for me. All that s— is subjective,” he shared.

It seems like Kendrick's spiritual journey doesn't just happen during morning runs but continues on stage as well.

 

Kendrick Lamar’s daily routine might sound intense — morning runs, conversations with God, and protein-packed meals — but it’s also a testament to his dedication to growth, both physically and spiritually.

So, the next time you're struggling through a run or contemplating life, remember that even one of the greatest rappers of our time needs a mile (and a chat with God) to find clarity. And don't forget to channel that Big Protein energy.
