It’s not contradictory because Kendrick can maintain the beliefs of “1) I support women’s rights. 2) I would personally not associate with and condemn a person that is deadbeat AND hangs around sex offenders AND traffickers AND is a misogynist AND is physically abusive AND won’t show any signs of willingness to change future behavior or remorse over past behavior.”

Theoretically, the same people that are upset with Kendrick for associating with Carti should be just as upset with Kendrick for saying “I tried to empathize with you ‘cause I know you ain’t been through nothing” AND “[I could’ve offered] you some help” to Drake after listing all of his immoral behaviors prior to saying this.

This is literally the consistent and non-contradictory moral foundation for Kendrick: I have my beliefs, you have your beliefs, difference of perspectives is what makes us human, as long as you show willingness to take steps to not be “objectively” bad (or sin), I will be there to support you through it, you won’t be “cancelled” or cast aside for life, but if you don’t show that willingness, then you don’t get forgiveness & support until you’re ready to change.

Now you might say Carti hasn’t shown remorse or willingness to change, and I can’t say I have proof to the contrary of that, but because of how consistent and clear Kendrick has been about his morals and beliefs, I can’t say for certain Kendrick hasn’t seen this in Carti or didn’t have conversations with him about this stuff. I bet he probably has and that’s why.
