Kendrick Lamar is kicking of 2025 with a bang. The rapper's monumental hit, "Not Like Us," has officially surpassed one billion Spotify streams. Lamar's anthemic track, released in May 2024, marked the end of the highly publicized feud between himself and Drake and became a longstanding hit,

One of Kendrick Lamar's most successful years was 2024, and it appears that the hitmaker has no intention of slowing down in 2025.

The summer single, one of several to come from a feud with fellow rapper Drake, was one of the biggest songs of 2024, hitting the top of Billboard's Hot 100.

Rapper Kendrick Lamar is performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans next month, following a commercially successful year that was dominated by a high-profile feud —and Apple Music confirmed Thursday that R&B singer SZA would make an appearance in the show.

Drake has withdrawn his legal petition against Spotify and UMG after claiming they artificially inflated Kendrick Lamar's 'Not LIke Us.'

Drake is suing his record label for spreading a “false and malicious narrative” when it released and promoted Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.”

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud from last year went from songs and videos to Super Bowl bookings and pre-action petitions. The 38-year-old rapper recently dropped his legal action against Spotify and Universal Music Group that accused them of artificially inflating the popularity of the Compton rapper’s hit diss track “ Not Like Us .”

The lawsuit states that on May 4, 2024, the day “Not Like Us” came out, “UMG approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for violent retribution against him.”

Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Singer-songwriter SZA has signed on to join rapper Kendrick Lamar for next month's Super Bowl Halftime Show. The NFL game will be played on Feb. 9 at Caesars Stadium in New Orleans.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA star in a new trailer for the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. The 30-second clip finds the Compton-bred MC pacing on the field while chatting on the phone. His former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate sneaks up behind him and dumps what looks like a bucket of Gatorade over his head. It abruptly ends there.
