Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" is spending its third week at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song has received massive attention because Lamar took a swipe at J. Cole and Drake.

Billboard reported that Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" is spending a third week atop the genre-blending singles chart.

"Like That" raked in 40 million streams and 14 million radio airplay impressions and sold 3,000 digitally.

Although the song is atop the Billboard Hot 100 and the Streaming Songs Chart, it plummeted on the Digital Song Sales Chart from No. 8 to No. 14 and debuted on the Radio Songs Chart at No. 41.

The publication noted that the song first reached more than 40 million streams every week for three weeks. On its debut week, it scored 59.6 million streams, 46.1 million last week, and 40 million this week.

Miley Cyrus' Grammy-winning "Flowers" was the last record to do so by scoring 52.6 million, 59.7 million, and 48 million from January to February 2023. It's also the first song since "Flowers" to spend three consecutive weeks atop the Hot 100 and the first hip-hop song since Drake's "Nice For What" in 2018.

The song also commanded the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs for three weeks since it debuted, along with the rap duo We Don't Trust You.

Kendrick Lamar Ignites Rap Beef With 'Like That'

After Lamar's shocking swipe on J. Cole and Drake, the Dreamville rapper unleashed a clapback in "7 Minute Drill."

However, J.Cole seemed to have chickened out and removed the song from streaming after a few days.

"I'm so proud of ['Might Delete Later'], except for one part," J. Cole told the crowd at the recently concluded Dreamvile Festival. "It's one part of that shit that makes me feel like, man that's the lamest shit I did in my fuckin' life, right? And I know this is not what a lot of people want to hear."

J.Cole, who has since strayed away from rap drama, admitted that releasing "7 Minute Drill" was "spiritually bad" for him.

Meanwhile, Drake hit back with a lethal "Push Ups," a track that has since been speculated to be written by artificial intelligence.
