The Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef that led to Not Like Us, explained

The year 2024 saw one of the biggest rap beefs of all time go down with a VERY CLEAR WINNER.

It was Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake, with the two trading off songs that eventually led to Not Like Us, which is now a Grammy-winning Song of the Year, with everyone singing very NSFW lyrics that dump on Drake.

So where did all of this come from? For that, you need to read our guide to the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef, but here’s a quick summary: Drake dropped First Person Shooter with J. Cole that called out Lamar, who then responded on WE DON’T TRUST YOU. Drake lobbed back, and then we got Not Like Us.

Definitely check out the Kendrick Lamar and Drake explainer for the entire history.
