   In a Billboard cover story, the the 'Swimming Pools' rapper told the publication about his love for Alford.

   "I wouldn’t even call her my girl, that’s my best friend," Lamar told Billboard.

   "I don’t even like the term that society has put in the world as far as being a companion — she’s somebody I can tell my fears to" he added.
