Lamar taunts Drake at L.A. concert

Rapper performs diss track five times at star-studded Juneteenth event

- RICHIE ASSALY

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," easily a contender for the song of the summer, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in May, and hasn't left the charts since.

It’s been a rough spring for Drake.

Earlier this month, the Toronto rapper more or less conceded victory in his bitter feud with Kendrick Lamar, quietly removed three of his diss tracks from his social media.

But Drake’s rival has gone the opposite way. Since the release of Lamar’s final diss track “Not Like Us” — on which the Compton rapper (baselessly) accuses Drake of being a “pedophile” and refers to him as a “colonizer,” among other things — the song has been everywhere, from the club to children’s birthday parties and bar mitzvahs. The track, easily a contender for the song of the summer, hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in May, and hasn’t left the charts since.

Drake, of course, has tried to change the subject, but it’s going to take more than a (widely misunderstood) parody song to dig out from the hole that Lamar has buried him in.
