I really don't think that the NYT should be concerned about doing brand management for a rapper. Who cares if he doesn't want people to know his real name or if a rapper didn't want the public to know he grew up wealthy or something? The NYT doesn't need to go around looking for fight but if it thinks it is relevant they can and should publish these details.

But why? There's no benefit to naming Lamar and there's some cost, both to Lamar, and to the NYT in terms of offending people they may want to talk to. "Who cares" when asking about arbitrary decisions that hurt people is sociopathic. Obviously the people getting hurt care and the people who care about the needlessly hurt people care.
