Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” reaches 500 million streams

In a stunning turn of events, Kendrick Lamar’s explosive Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” has taken the music world by storm. Over the past two months, this track has not only topped charts but has also shattered streaming records, firmly cementing Kendrick’s position at the forefront of the rap game. The video was also released on July 4, and amassed 20 million views in 24 hours.

Debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, “Not Like Us” quickly achieved 2x platinum status within just two weeks. The track’s momentum didn’t stop there; it recently set a new record as the fastest rap song to hit 500 million streams on Spotify, accomplishing this milestone in a mere 70 days. This feat dethroned Drake’s 2018 hit “God’s Plan,” which previously held the record. “God’s Plan” remains one of the decade’s most iconic tracks, having reached certified diamond status at 16x platinum.

The release of “Not Like Us” was accompanied by three additional Drake diss tracks from Kendrick: “Euphoria,” “6:16 In LA,” and “Meet The Grahams.” The release strategy and the impact of these tracks have led many hip-hop fans to declare Kendrick the clear victor in his ongoing beef with Drake.

Kendrick’s lyrical prowess and strategic release have captivated audiences worldwide, generating significant buzz and discussions across social media platforms. As “Not Like Us” continues to dominate streaming services and airwaves, Kendrick Lamar’s rivalry with Drake remains one of the most talked-about topics in music today.
