Kendrick Lamar seems to be mocking Drake again with his new music video for his diss track “Not Like Us.”
The two major hip-hop stars were embroiled in a diss track war in April and early May after Lamar publicly called out Drake and J. Cole in a verse on “Like That” for Future and Metro Boomin’s album “We Don’t Trust You” in March.
Neither rapper has released a new diss track since May 5, but Lamar is still fuelling the beef.
On Thursday, the “Not Like Us” video became the first music video Lamar released for his Drake diss tracks.
The video is filled with cameos, including his longtime partner Whitney Alford and their two children.
The video seems to be Lamar’s second victory lap after he performed four of his five diss tracks and rapped “Not Like Us” five times in a row at his Juneteenth concert last month.
At first, hip-hop fans were excited about Lamar and Drake’s rap beef, believing it was a friendly competition between some of the genre’s most notable stars. Rap beef can help artists boost streams and sales and prove they are worthy of acclaim in the hip-hop world.
But Drake and Lamar’s beef soon turned vicious when both stars made unverified allegations of sexual assault, pedophilia, and domestic abuse against each other.
After a week of back-to-back diss tracks, Drake seemed to drop out of the beef after the release of “The Heart Part 6” on May 5. But Lamar just keeps going.
Here are all the moments in the “Not Like Us” music video that seems to reference the rap beef.
