Drake and Kendrick Lamar are both benefiting from their feud, as multiple songs spawned from the beef have now entered the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In the new chart released on Monday (May 13), K.Dot’s dance-worthy diss “Not Like Us” premiered at No. 1., followed by his earlier diss “Euphoria” at No. 3 for its second week on the chart and the song that started it all, Metro Boomin and Future‘s “Like That,” at No. 6.
And for Drizzy, his Kendrick diss “Family Matters” has entered the chart at No. 7.
Reacting to the No. 1, “Not Like Us” producer Mustard rejoiced in being back on top and declared the city of Los Angeles “back up.”
“Sometimes you really gotta pop out and show n-ggas!!!!” he said. “To think . . . They really fronted on me and acted like I’m not who I am ! I’m thankful but not surprised; I never lost sight and stayed down.
“With my back against the wall is where I thrive. Summer started last week according to me!! See ya sooner than you think! cc: @kendricklamar city back up !!!”
It doesn’t look like there will be anymore diss tracks dropping, however, as Drake appears to have thrown in the towel after being deemed by many to have lost the battle.
Taking to his Instagram Stories over the weekend, Drizzy posted an illustration of a Japanese samurai facing off against a huge cavalry — a nod to the “20 vs. 1” narrative he referenced on his diss song “Push Ups.”
Above the picture, he wrote: “Good times. Summer vibes up next.”
Many fans took the post to mean that he’s bowed out of the beef between himself and Kendrick. “and just like that one of the greatest beefs in hip hop history has just ended,” opined one fan, while another wrote: “he threw the white flag.”
While everyone from Joe Budden to Cam’ron and Ma$e believe that Kendrick Lamar took home the victory, TDE label head Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith thinks that another winner emerged victorious: the culture.
“This battle is over. A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) last week. “Especially when these publications try to make it something else.”
Drake and kendrick were previously cool with each other until Mr morale fell off in sales from damn. He then pivoted his career to being a drake hater to get 15 minutes of fame. Drake still wins either way though because Drake is on kendrick’s mind throughout and this song as well as kendrick’s career wouldn’t exist without drake
Ain’t this click bait
False. They fell out over the Control verse. Kendrick told him it was friendly competition but Drake took it personal. He dissed Kendrick on an unreleased ESPN interview and dissed him on several songs like 100. The ESPN host and GAME are both from Compton so they told Kendrick about the sneak disses. You would know this if you weren’t a 17 year old fan.
Kendrick apologized in 2015 and drake forgave him. Kendrick only got pissed once he saw there was no way he could ever surprass drake’s rising sales when his own anticipated album morale flopped hard and went plastic. So he decides to appeal to drake’s haters and is getting his 15 minutes. Ultimately though, they won’t fuck with Kendrick long term. He’ll be irrelevant if he isn’t dead already from the hits others will place on him
Sausage Silly you are
Dude go find your father. It’s disgusting to worship someone this much even if you’re trolling.
lol that’s like saying that the GRAMMY winning Mr morale ‘fell off’ in sales, nobody does real numbers in rap anymore UNLESS they sell out, like Drake, that’s why K made not like us, to show he could make a top club song even as a layered diss just to fk with him, Kendrick about the music and culture, Drake chasing that shit already talking about ‘summer vibes’ guess that’s his next ‘reinvention’ of the same mid pop-rap….k has a pulitzer fking prize, that’s not a music award, its writing and no rappers and very few musicians have one, Pusha didn’t move many units but I still thought Its Almost Dry was actually a lil better than Mr.Morale which I loved but was a little bloated in parts
this ended how we knew it would but damn who knew it’d go the way it did, a MINOR jab, a HUGE diss verse, a song, the AI SHIT, back to back joints, the personal AF shit, the shooting and leaving the embassy…drake took too many L’s now he taking em in his home court aka THE CHARTS lmfao
SMH, if he needs a father, so do all of you grown men who come here to beg for Kendrick’s creampies every day.
My dad is a huge drake fan. Now what troll
Why are you mentioning creampies? Why do you have to make everything gay? I don’t care about either I care about lyrics and integrity. Lyrically Drake got destroyed and as a man he’s been messing with teenagers for a decade. See if you feel the same when a man in his 30s shoots at your teenage sister.
You obviously are a child. Dot has over 15 Grammy’s AND the HIGHEST GROSSING solo tour for a rapper EVER. He’s been relevant. There are way better ways to cope after watching Drake take an L. Figure it out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro I get what where mustard is coming from but if it wasn’t for Kendrick already liking this beat when he heard it mustard would never be in the conversation cause no one’s calling mustard to come cook unless he already has something productive to offer which is a nice west coast jumpy mustard club beat all ready to go for Kendrick to write to. He acting like this is his number one it’s really just Kendrick’s and Drake gets the assist. He prolly only even used a mustard beat to make a point that he can even kill Drake the club route and paid homage to his city
Not like us ripped off rack city so much.
Mustard produced Rack City genius. This is problem problem like you talking online with no knowledge of the culture.
Of course I know who produced what. That’s what makes dj mustard as someone who’s terrible at his job
K Dot keeps winning. Love to see it.
King Tekashi gone tear dem both out da frame wit his nu heat. Watch did space.
He’s really acting like the song isn’t number one strictly because it’s dissing drake lol
