Kendrick Lamar has inspired thousands of people during his career, but this past weekend at The Sweetlife Festival, the Compton native might’ve met the one fan he’s inspired most.

Towards the end of his set, K. Dot spotted a fan in the front row crying and decided to bring her on stage for a moment she’ll never forget. Here’s what Kendrick told MTV about the special experience:

“I’m at the end of the show, and I see this young lady crying, and I’m thinking, She must be really going through something right now. Then I start hearing her murmur with her lips, ‘You saved my life.’ So I’m like, Damn. This is serious. This is not for play, why she’s out here right now. Then she said, ’I was gonna kill myself last year.’ So I said, at that point, I gotta bring her up onstage and show her some love and let her know this is real.

Here’s the story Claire, the fan Kendrick brought on stage, shared with Kendrick when she was backstage.

“When I was 15, I was diagnosed with severe depression, and Kendrick got me through it, and I couldn’t have done it without him. I listened to his music over and over and there were nights where I thought I was going to end it all, and I didn’t, and I think that’s because his words impacted me in a way that no other artist has ever done. I can’t thank him enough. I can’t thank the people behind him enough for making him come to the earbuds that I listen to. I feel inseparable from his music.”

Doing more good deeds at the Sweetlife festival, Kendrick invited a different fan on stage to perform his hit track “m.A.A.d. city,” and let’s just say she killed it. Check it out below.
