Drake’s Life SPIRALS After “Not Like Us” 💥: Shootings, Leaks, Lawsuits & Kendrick’s Final Blow!

Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us wasn’t just another diss track—it was a cultural earthquake that ripped through the rap community and shook Drake’s empire to its core.

From the moment Kendrick accused Drake of disturbing allegations involving underaged girls, the fuse was lit.

Drake fired back with The Heart Part 6, a direct parody of Kendrick’s iconic The Heart series, but his attempt to reclaim control backfired.

The internet wasn’t buying it.

Public reception tanked, dislike counters surged, and an old video of Drake kissing a 17-year-old girl onstage in 2010 resurfaced like a ticking time bomb.

Though the girl, now 31, dismissed the video’s relevance, insisting there was “nothing then and still nothing now,” the damage to Drake’s image had already been done.

Meanwhile, Kendrick’s Not Like Us shattered Spotify records, becoming the most streamed hip-hop song in a single day in U.S. history.

To make matters worse, Drake’s London OVO store was vandalized—spray painted with “Not Like Us” on the front window.

And then, the chaos turned physical.

On May 7th, just as Not Like Us was breaking records, a gunman tried to storm Drake’s Toronto mansion.

The intruder was met by Drake’s security and, in the ensuing struggle, one guard was shot in the upper chest.

Police cordoned off the rapper’s home, with speculation swirling about whether Drake was present during the attempt.

That same week, Kendrick dominated the Spotify charts with four songs in the top ten, solidifying the notion that Drake wasn’t just taking Ls—he was being systematically dismantled.

But this wasn’t just about music.

Behind the scenes, both artists escalated the war.

Kendrick’s crew, allegedly, paid stream farms to inflate numbers—a claim backed by a suspicious $2,500 payment via Zelle from an untraceable LLC supposedly linked to Kendrick’s manager.

But internet sleuths and XXL magazine quickly cast doubt on the claim, calling out the flimsy evidence and the fact that the LLC wasn’t even officially registered.

Still, the rumor mill ran wild, feeding an already volatile public discourse.

The battle didn’t let up.

Kendrick’s Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert was a cultural moment in itself, where he performed Not Like Us six times back-to-back, demanded Drake return Tupac’s ring, and even called for respect only if Drake

complied.

Drake responded with a photo of himself at “summer league,” trying to play it cool—but the internet wasn’t buying the nonchalance.

Then came the t-shirt saga, with Drake donning apparel that read “rap is a joke” while Not Like Us soared back to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 following the release of its viral music video featuring none other

than Kendrick’s fiancée Whitney Alfred.

Adding salt to the wound, former friend DeMar DeRozan—who appeared in the Not Like Us video—publicly stated he still liked Drake, but fans noticed Drake didn’t reciprocate.

In fact, he later joked on national TV that he’d personally tear down any banner honoring DeRozan in Toronto.

That moment symbolized just how much collateral damage this feud was causing—not just in careers, but in friendships, cities, and legacies.

But the most unexpected twist was Drake’s legal counterattack.

On November 25th, Drake’s company, Frozen Moments, filed a pre-action legal petition against Kendrick’s label Interscope, parent company Universal Music Group, and Spotify.

The allegations? Inflated streams through bots, illegal pay-for-play schemes, and deliberate sabotage of Drake’s reputation.

In an even more shocking move, Drake also filed a second petition in Texas alleging that UMG paid off radio conglomerates like iHeart Radio to push Not Like Us.

Drake’s team even argued UMG had the power to block the song’s release but didn’t, calling it an act of betrayal against one of their own artists.

UMG clapped back, calling the lawsuit offensive and baseless.

But the legal filings revealed just how much this feud transcended bars and beats—it was about brand warfare, money, and industry control.

Meanwhile, Kendrick kept winning.

In late November, he announced a joint tour with SZA, with one of the stops scheduled in Drake’s own backyard—Toronto.

Fans couldn’t resist the trolling, flooding social media with memes imagining Drake awkwardly watching Kendrick perform Not Like Us live in his city.

Adding fuel to the fire, Kendrick’s music video for TV Off ended with him screaming “Mustard!”—a viral moment that Drake parodied during a Twitch stream with streamer LosPollosTV by joking “Custard” and

demanding a donut emoji in the chat.

Even Drake’s attempts at humor were interpreted as signs that the feud had seeped into every part of his persona.

But just when it seemed like things couldn’t get pettier, Drake took it even further.

He posted behind-the-scenes footage of himself and longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib working on a never-released collab with Kendrick—proof that the two once had mutual respect.

The beat ended up going to Action Bronson, and the moment only served as a tragic reminder of what could’ve been if this war had never started.

Kendrick’s GNX album, dropped in November, hammered the final nail into the coffin.

In the track Whacked Out Murals, he made it crystal clear—he would never “piece it up” with Drake, because doing so would mean betraying his own integrity.

That same month, Drake announced his Australia tour—kicking off on February 9th, the exact date Kendrick is set to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Coincidence? Nobody thinks so.

From diss tracks and death threats to lawsuits and lyrical dissection, this wasn’t just beef—it was a full-blown saga.

And it still hasn’t ended.

As Kendrick puts it: “No round twos.

” But with Drake lawyered up, memes exploding, and both artists pushing the boundaries of performance, persona, and pride, it’s clear that hip-hop hasn’t seen the last shot fired.

Stay tuned.

This war isn’t over—it’s just gone underground.
