Kendrick Lamar debuts at No. 1 on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart with the single “Not Like Us”, produced by Mustard. This is Kendrick's fourth song to top the popular US charts.
“Not Like Us” has achieved over 70 million streams to date and was the hip-hop and rap song to break the record for number of streams in 24 hours with over 12 million plays on Spotify.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper is back to get everyone talking once again with the recent release of the songs “Not Like Us”, “Euphoria” and “meet the grahams”, available on all digital platforms. This is a series of dissings against his colleague Drake, a duel with bars and rhymes that began a few weeks ago and continued in an increasingly harsh and harsh manner. An escalation of mutual accusations, not surprisingly renamed “Civil War”, which Kendrick started by attacking Drake and J. Cole a few days ago. And if J. Cole withdrew from the contest after an initial response, Kendrick, after Drake's responses, continues with increasingly heavier songs. “Say Drake, I hear you prefer them to minors,” Lamar fired back in “Not Like U”s, in which he also talks about “certified pedophiles” and accuses his Canadian rival of being a “colonizer” of African-American culture being son of a white mother. In another song released this weekend, “Meet The Grahams,” Lamar claims that Drake has a secret daughter.
Drake in turn did not hold back from the accusations. In the song “Family Matters”, the Canadian suggested that infidelity or even abuse had affected the relationship between Lamar and girlfriend Whitney Alford. In “The Heart Part 6”, Drake denied any inappropriate relationships with minors: “I would never give a teenager a second look.”
