Fans reignited interest in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef after Siri played Not Like Us, when HipHopDX’s Jeremy Hecht asked it to play Drake's Certified Lover Boy. Netizens, already excited by the recent release of Lamar's diss track video, reacted to Siri's actions.
Megan Armstrong of UPROXX reported that she experienced the same issue with Siri. The first time, Siri played Lamar's diss track instead of the requested song, but played the correct song the second time. Armstrong joked that either Siri only did the trick once or Spotify had fixed the glitch.
Fans went all out on internet to react to the same. Some of them even jokingly wrote that Spotify and Siri had chosen sides. One user commented under Jeremy Hecht's video, and wrote,
"Most impactful diss of our generation."
Many users commented that they too tried and got similar results like Jeremy.
Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us has proven to be quite successful
Recently, the diss track Not Like Us has been making headlines. Argentina trolled the Drake with K.Dot's popular track, after he lost a bet, with the team winning the match against Canada in the Copa America tournament.
A few days back, TMZ reported that the burger joint which showcased in the music video of Not Like Us, had been experiencing a rise in sales since the release of the MV. Billboard then confirmed that there had been a 40% increase in sales, where a lot of customers were opting for Kendrick Lamar's usual bacon cheeseburger.
This, however, wasn't the first time that Lamar's diss track proved to be helpful for a local joint. In the diss titled Euphoria, Lamar mentioned a Toronto Chinese restaurant New Ho King. The joint soon witnesses an increase in sales as well.
The Not Like Us music video had become super popular, with more than 3 million likes and over a whopping 45 million views on YouTube. Just by the morning after its release, the diss track garnered more than 13 million views. The music video was directed and executive produced by Kendrick and Dave Free.
The audio of the diss track which was released earlier in May also has more than 3 million likes and more than 100 million views since its official launching. Several news outlets including Complex gave positive reviews about the track and further described it as one of the best ones in the beef.
