During the case, the prosecutor asked Pistorius if Lamar’s song “B***h, Don’t Kill My Vibe” led to an argument between he and Steenkamp during a car ride. A WhatsApp message that has been used as evidence in the trial included Steenkamp referring to the song.
The message included Steenkamp saying:
I’m scared of you sometimes and how u snap at me and how of you will react to me. You make me happy 90% of the time and I think we are amazing together but I am not some other b***h you may know trying to kill your vibe.
Pistorius then replied:
I was upset that you just left me after we got food to go talk to a guy and I was standing right behind you watching you touch his arm and ignore me. And when I spoke up you introduced me which you could’ve done but when I left you just kept on chatting to him when clearly I was upset. I asked Martin to put on that Kendrick Lamar album in the car and don’t know it… Granted that it was a s**t song but you should’ve just lent forward and whispered in my ear to change it seeing as I had to drive to pick up your friend.

When asked by Chief prosecutor Gerrie Nel if the name of the song he was referring to was “B***h, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” Pistorius claimed he could not remember. Nel replied that Steenkamp can’t confirm it either.
“We can’t ask her,” said Nel.
