The low-key announcement was made as Kendrick&#8217;s upcoming festival appearance is being hyped, writing, &#8220;Kendrick’s new manager touts hip-hop superstar’s first U.S. live show in years with huge Vegas engagement. Bet everything on the K.Dot.&#8221;
TIDAL’s Chief Content Officer Elliott Wilson confirmed the news, writing, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t realize my guy Anthony Saleh @Dude_Br0 was managing Kendrick Lamar. Wow. Big moves. Congrats.&#8221;
With this news, it remains unclear of Dave Free&#8217;s role in Kendrick&#8217;s career. They work together as the co-founders of pgLang, but fans are wondering if Free will have any managerial duties as Saleh&#8217;s hiring becomes public knowledge.
