Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' Soars in Charts After Drake's Lawsuit Loss
Kendrick Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us' has seen a surge in popularity following Drake's recent legal setback. As Drake prepares to appeal the dismissal of his defamation lawsuit against UMG, the track is gaining traction on major music streaming platforms.
The song re-entered the iTunes and Apple Music Top 100 charts in multiple countries after Judge Jeannette Vargas' decision, according to pgLang Updates on Twitter. Additionally, it received 1.2 million streams on Spotify on the day the decision was announced (Thursday, October 9).
This surge in popularity is expected given the song's popularity and the ongoing feud between the two artists. Despite the legal drama, 'Not Like Us' continues to dominate the airwaves.
However, Drake's appeal could potentially prolong the dispute. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar is making waves with his Grammy submissions for 2026, aiming to solidify his position as one of the most awarded hip-hop artists in history.
As the two artists continue to dominate the music scene, fans are eagerly awaiting Drake's upcoming project, ICEMAN, which is set to drop later this year. The lawsuit's impact on the project's content remains to be seen.
The ongoing rivalry between these hip-hop giants has sparked intense debates and discussions, with fans eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this legendary feud. The author, Gabriel Bras Nevares, explores the deeper aspects of this controversy, delving into the lyrical and parasocial dimensions of the battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake.
