Kendrick Lamar Calls Detroit Boy Who Lost Both Arms After Dog Attack

Seven‑year‑old Romell Frazier Jr. was attacked by two pit bulls in Detroit on March 19, resulting in the amputation of both arms below the elbows and serious injuries to his feet and legs. After months of treatment at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, he returned home in May and began learning to walk again. On his birthday, rapper Kendrick Lamar surprised Romell with a FaceTime call, greeting him, “What’s up, man, how you feeling?” and offering words of encouragement. Lamar praised Romell’s mother, Preshauna Jones, for her support, invited the family to visit the West Coast, and expressed admiration for the boy’s resilience. A GoFundMe campaign was launched to cover ongoing medical costs and prosthetic needs, drawing widespread social‑media praise for Lamar’s gesture.
