Drake, Kendrick Lamar Diss Tracks Occupy Billboard Hot 100 Top 10; 'Not Like Us' Hits No. 1

As the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap feud comes to a close, four of their diss tracks occupied the upper region of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Lamar's latest diss track, "Not Like Us," hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as "Like That," a former chart-topper, soared back to No. 6.

Billboard reported that "Not Like Us" opened with 70.9 million streams, 5 million radio airplay impressions, and 15,000 units sold in the United States last week. Lamar's latest chart-topper only had five days on the chart tracking week, which started on May 3, 2024; the track was released on May 5, 2024.

To date, Lamar already has four No. 1s on the Hot 100 - "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift, "Humble," "Like That" with Future and Metro Boomin', and "Not Like Us."

The song is also concurrently the No. 1 on the Streaming Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs charts.

Meanwhile, "euphoria," which sat at No. 11 last week, achieved a new high of No. 3 this week. It was bolstered by 49 million streams, 1.9 million airplay impressions, and 7,000 downloads.

Lastly, "Like That," Lamar, Future, and Metro Boomin's last Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper rebounded from No. 8 to No. 6 this week. The song famously started the Lamar-Drake feud, marking the former's response to J. Cole and the latter's "First Person Shooter" declaration that they're the big three rappers. The song earned 34.2 million streams, 29.4 million radio impressions, and sold 3,000.

Drake's "Family Matters," opened at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his 78th Hot 100 top 10. The song raked in 38 million streams, 646,000 airplay impressions, and has sold 5,000.

The Lamar-Drake rap feud is widely considered as being done as many Hip-hop fans perceived Drake's Instagram Story on "summer vibes" is his way to wave the white flag.

Meanwhile, Drake's latest diss track, "The Heart Part 6," talked about getting tired of dissing Lamar.

To cap things off, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith, the CEO of Lamar's former record label, Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE), signaled on X, formerly Twitter, that the "battle is over."

"This battle is over," he tweeted. "A win for the culture, while keeping it all on wax. Especially when these publications try to make it something else. We proved them wrong. That's a victory within itself. On another note, it's time to wrap up this TDE anniversary compilation."
