The song’s success was further boosted by its visually striking music video, which debuted on July 4 and garnered over 20 million views within its first 24 hours. This impressive feat followed an unforgettable performance by Lamar at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, where he closed out the show by performing “Not Like Us” five times in a row.
