The fight between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has already gained international attention. Lamar stood tall for Los Angeles and the entire West Coast, while Drake represented Toronto and all of Canada.

The entire conflict arose in April 2024. Drake and J. Cole first teamed up for the song First Person Shooter in October 2023. Lamar allegedly made fun of the two musicians' collaboration in his April release of the song, Like That. The whole feud began with this song. Since then, the conflict has intensified swiftly.

Last week, Lamar and Drake's long-standing animosity reached a boiling point, following which they started trading accusations with one another in the form of the songs.

Their rivalry escalated as the rappers released four new diss tracks last weekend. They talked about each other's families and made accusations against one another in their respective tracks.

On Saturday, May 4, Lamar released Not Like Us, a song that was directed at Drake. In the song, Kendrick went on to allege that apart from being a p*dophile, the Canadian musician is also a colonizer who had used their peers for his own gain.

Lamar also claimed in the same song that Drake, his bodyguard Chubbs, and OVO Sound musicians PartyNextDoor and Baka Not Nice have s*xually abused children. Lamar further claimed that OVO Sound was involved in Drake's alleged child trafficking scheme.

Now, Not Like Us has topped multiple streaming charts in 6ix God's native nation, including Spotify's Daily Top Songs Canada chart and Apple Music's Top 100: Canada chart.

Following the widespread success of the song, internet users have turned to X to tweet about the whole thing. Since then, Drake hasn’t responded to the recent course of events.
