A 10-second TikTok of a security guard crying during Kendrick Lamar’sHouston show went viral the other day. It was during the song “Love”, which the guy was also singing along to.
The guy’s name is Devyn Sanford, and during an interview on the local Fox station, he said, “It brought me back to when the song first came out. I was going through a tumultuous time in my life at that point…
“The words, the crowd around me, everyone was screaming and reaching for Kendrick and crying and I kind of, like, absorbed everybody’s emotions. I was trying my best to hold it together and I just cracked.”

Well, Kendrick has seen the video, and he’s touched. He says, “At the end of the day, past all the politics, past all the numbers, [what’s most important is] what music makes you feel, you know?…
“That’s how you want everyone to receive your music, you know? Make them feel good, make them feel like a moment they’re attached to can live forever.”
