Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which came out of his lyrical exchange with Drake, continues to dominate, spending another week at No. 1 on the US Top Songs chart. The diss track, supported by a striking video, also takes the No. 8 spot on the Global Top Songs chart, with over 23.8 million views worldwide during the chart period. Additionally, Kendrick’s “Euphoria” lands at No. 58 and is the third-best performing artist on the US Top Artists chart, cementing his strong presence in the music scene.
The summer hit has overtaken 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” as the most streamed diss track of all time. Lamar’s total streaming count is 647 million. According to Our Generation Music, “Hit ‘Em Up” has a population of 641 million. Do we have a new top diss song of all time?
Having doppelgängers is nothing new for Drake, but using bars from “Not Like Us” to comment on his Instagram posts is something new.
Over the weekend, Drake posted a clip of one of his fakes performing “Hotline Bling.” In his Instagram story, he wrote, “Sometimes you gotta come out,” a reference to the diss track “Not Like Us,” which was aimed at him.
It’s nice to see that he takes the argument calmly.
