‘People Just Do Nothing’ Star Drops Kendrick Lamar Cover Track Taking Aim At Conservative Government
deadline.comPeople Just Do Nothing star Asim Chaudhry has some choice words for the UK’s Conservative government. With less than two weeks to go until the July 4 general election, Chaudhry, AKA Asim C, has dropped “Meet the Tories” on YouTube, a version of Kendrick Lamar‘s Drake diss “Meet the Grahams” that takes aim at the 14-year-old government. “Meet the Tories” can be watched in full below.
Chaudhry said he wants the song to “serve as a powerful reminder of the crimes and apathy of these controversial politicians,” and he attacks Prime Ministers from Rishi Sunak to Margaret Thatcher. “If it sounds furious it’s because I am and I know a lot of people are too,” he said, noting that he is returning to “my favourite pass time” of rapping.
The British comedian, writer, director and actor is probably best known for playing Chabud “Chabuddy G” Gul in BBC mockumentary People Just Do Nothing, which he co-created.
He has also starred in The Sandman, Barbie and Guardians of the Galaxy. The UK general election takes place on July 4 and the incumbent Conservatives are trailing massively in the polls.
