Rapper Kendrick Lamar has shared a hilarious text his mum sent him after she first heard his new album DAMN.

In the emoji and slang-filled message, shared by Lamar on Twitter on Sunday, Paula Oliver said she thought it was his best album so far - but chided him for looked "stressed out" on the album cover.

"This cd is bombbbbb!" she gushed.

"Boy you can make a dog laugh.

"This your best one to me, no bullshit. Your daddy said you look stressed out on the cover lol."

She mused about how this might be because Lamar had "been a over thinker" since he was young.

Ms Oliver lamented missing the livestream of her son's performance at Coachella last week: "They say you was floating in the air??!!! Your fans are some die hards. I love them."

Lamar replied to his mum with the prayer hands emoji, saying "You going emoji brazy [sic]. Who taught you "100"? Lol"
