Haley Joel Osment Doesn’t Think K. Dot Messed Up
Haley Joel Osment doesn’t think Kendrick Lamar made a mistake in the Drake diss song “Euphoria,” which conflated his name with the pastor Joel Osteen. The star of “The Sixth Sense” and “A.I.” appears next in “Blink Twice.” pic.twitter.com/icVaZjEDYE

Haley Joel Osment loved the reference. He was shooting a film in Ireland when “Euphoria” dropped, and was subsequently bombarded with messages from friends. “[I] got like a hundred texts in the middle of the night,” he recalled. “And I was like, ‘What is going on?!'” Haley Joel Osment isn’t the only Sixth Sense alum who is a K. Dot fan.
M. Night Shyamalan, the film’s director, talked about the “honor” of being referenced multiple times by the rapper. Not only does the film get a shout out on “Euphoria,” but Lamar quotes the iconic line “I see dead people” at the start of “Not Like Us.” “Someone in the office was like, ‘Oh, Kendrick just dropped something and it references one of your [movies],” Shyamalan told the Breakfast Club. “We kind of lightly know each other, and I did know [he was a fan]. He’s very gracious with me, and I love him.”
