Kendrick Lamar is kicking of 2025 with a bang. The rapper's monumental hit, "Not Like Us," has officially surpassed one billion Spotify streams. Lamar's anthemic track, released in May 2024, marked the end of the highly publicized feud between himself and Drake and became a longstanding hit,

The achievement comes on the heels of Drake suing his longtime music label Universal Music Group (UMG) of defamation for promoting Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’, saying the song’s false accusation that the Canadian rapper is a paedophile has put him and his family in danger.

Drake is suing his record label for spreading a “false and malicious narrative” when it released and promoted Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.”
