American rapper Kendrick Lamar has used his platform at the Glastonbury Festival for activism

While closing his headline set the 35-year-old made a plea for women’s rights.

The Grammy-winning artist took to the stage in England addressing social injustice, faith, greed, loyalty and prejudice while performing hit songs including ‘N95’, ‘United in Grief’, ‘Humble’ and ‘Alright’.

Lamar wore the same crown on stage that he wore on the cover of his fifth studio album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers”.

The musician told the crowd that “he wears this crown, they judge Christ, they judge you, they judge Christ”.

During his performance fake blood leaked down his face from the crown.

Lamar seemed to be criticising the US Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe versus Wade which has removed abortion as a right for Americans.
