Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Reaches Yet Another Monumental Milestone

It's no secret that 2024 was one of Kendrick Lamar's most successful years yet, and it looks like the hitmaker has no plans of slowing down in 2025. Back in May, he unleashed his diss track "Not Like Us," in which he goes after Drake and his OVO crew. It became a fan favorite in no time, topping the charts and racking up impressive streaming numbers.
It's been a few months since the song dropped, but evidently, it's still a major success. In fact, according to NFR Podcast, it recently surpassed a whopping one billion streams on Spotify. This makes it the first diss track of all time to do so, per the outlet, despite only being out for 250 days. It's also among the fastest tracks to reach one billion streams. Reportedly, it took Drake's 2018 hit "God's Plan" 226 days and Lil Nas X's 2021 track "Industry Baby" featuring Jack Harlow 191 days.

This is far from the only achievement Kendrick has to celebrate these days, however. Earlier this week, he was listed among the top rappers on Billboard's Biggest Rappers Of The Century list. He also received high praise from his collaborator SZA on Sherri Shepherd's talk show recently. When asked whether or not the songstress would consider a joint album with Kendrick, she made it clear that she'd see it as an honor.
"I would love that," SZA explained. "I think that would be amazing." She continued, piling on the compliments. "He’s such a genius, and part of his genius is him being so elusive, and so mysterious, and I love it. I don’t know what’s going on as much as you don’t know what’s going on. When ‘Luther’ came on, I said, ‘OK, that’s the vocals we’re using, period,’ and same with Gloria: I said, ‘OK,’ and I love that," she recalled. "I’m just trusting all of his expertise and being thrust into these moments and spotlight and saying yes, and he’s so good at saying yes but staying grounded, so I’m just like, ‘Teach me, sensei, what you know.'"
