Almost as soon as it was announced award winning hip-hop artist Kendrick Lamar is performing in Dunedin the question has been asked whether he deserves the mural treatment.
Some users on social media suggested the Dunedin City Council should follow up its more than $8000 mural of Ed Sheeran with one of Lamar, who is playing at Forsyth Barr Stadium on July 17.
Student radio station Radio One asked the question in a tweet saying that Lamar had won 12 Grammys compared to Sheeran's four.
However, not everyone on social media was supportive of the idea, with some on Facebook saying they had never heard of him and another suggesting Pink, who is playing on September 1, was more deserving.
