Kendrick Lamar stopped his set at a US music festival on Sunday night after a white fan he invited on stage to rap with him used the n-word. 

As TMZ reports, Lamar brought up a female fan on stage at Alabama's Hangout Festival to perform MAAD City, but quickly stopped when the woman rapped the n-word. 

"Aren't I cool enough for you? What's up bro?" the fan said to Lamar amidst a chorus of boos. 

Lamar responded, "You gotta bleep one single word".

The fan apologised and asked to remain on stage, which Lamar allowed her to do, however the crowd continued to boo in response. 

Watch the full footage below. 

Lamar is set to perform at Splendour In The Grass this July; for more details, including dates for his own headline shows throughout Australia, click on theGuide.
