Kendrick Lamar's has had a few nicknames over the years.

Lately he's been pushing Kung Fu Kenny

Kung Fu Kenny.

That name also popped up in Chinese lettering in his 'DNA.' video.

But where did he get the name from?

Kenny's 'DNA.' video co-star Don Cheadle has an idea. 16 years ago Cheadle  played an un-credited supporting role as Kung Fu Kenny in Rush Hour 2.

Cheadle acknowledged the connection on Twitter yesterday, posting a photo from the movie soon after the video dropped.
