Hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar has admitted there were times he woke up screaming in hotel rooms because success got too much for him.

The star was worried he was influencing the wrong people with his music, reported Digital Spy.

"You can have the platinum album, but when you still feel like you haven't quite found your place in the world - it kind of gives a crazy offset."

He said he woke up screaming one night because he was homesick.

"What was the feeling? The feeling was missing home. The feeling was, 'How am I influencing so many people on this stage rather than influencing the ones that I have back home?'
 

"That's the feeling: being inside the hotel room, and these thoughts I'm just pondering back and forth while I look at the ceiling all night.
