Kendrick Lamar’s 2024 feud with fellow rapper Drake resulted in several diss tracks, including Lamar’s smash hit “Not Like Us,” which debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won five Grammy Awards in 2025. That same year Drake sued his label for defamation and harassment, claiming that the label’s promotion of “Not Like Us” (in which Lamar accused Drake of being a pedophile) undermined “the safety and well-being of its artists.” A judge later tossed out the case, saying that listeners could come to the conclusion that the lyrics merely express an opinion.
