Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ breaks Drake’s record on Spotify 

As their rap feud intensifies into a full-fledged war with both rappers making various allegations against each other—and may have played a role in the shooting at Drake's Toronto home, Kendrick Lamar is breaking streaming records and ranking higher on the music charts with his diss tracks than his rival Drake.

Chart Data's X account wrote, "Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" officially breaks the all-time record for biggest streaming day for a hip-hop song in global Spotify history (12.809 million)."

It added, "It surpasses Drake and Lil Baby's 'Girls Want Girls.'''

In 'Not Like Us', Lamar alleged that Drake has a history of pursuing underage women.

Additionally, Lamar is also beating Drake on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, where 'Euphoria' currently sits at No. 11 and 'Push Ups' by Drake, the first true diss track in the feud, is at No. 17

The latest spat between Drake and Lamar, which has been simmering for over ten years, stems from a song titled 'First Person Shooter' released in October 2023 by Drake and J Cole. The song claimed that Drake, J Cole and Lamar are the "big three" of rap.

In March, Lamar responded with his song 'Like That' which has a line "It's just big me". This track made its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake in turn responded to this with the song 'Push Ups'. Following the release of 'Taylor Made Freestyle,'  'Euphoria,' 'Family Matters,' 'Meet the Grahams,' '6:16 in LA,' 'Not Like Us,' and 'The Heart Part 6, a back-and-forth was initiated between Drake and Lamar.
