Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Passes “Hit ‘Em Up” in All Time Streaming Count
Kendrick Lamar continues to run up the numbers with “Not Like Us.” The summer smash has passed up 2Pac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” as the most streamed diss track ever. Lamar’s streaming total has hit 647 million. “Hit ‘Em Up” residents at 641 million, according to Our Generation Music. Do we have a new top diss song of all time?
Drake is no stranger to having lookalikes. However, using bars from “Not Like Us” to comment on their posts on Instagram is a bit new.
Over the weekend, Drake posted a clip of one of his fakes performing “Hotline Bling.” On his Instagram Story, he wrote, “Sometimes you gotta pop out,” a nod to the “Not Like Us” diss track aimed at him.
It’s good to see he takes the beef in stride.
