Just over a month since its debut, Kendrick Lamar‘s Drake diss track “Not Like Us” continues to break records, cementing itself as an all-time success. If anyone was doubting his position in the beef with the The Boy, look no further than this track. Hitting a monumental stat and definite bragging rights, Kendrick’s track is now the fastest hip-hop song to hit 300 million streams on Spotify.

In just 35 days, the song has surpassed 300 million streams, proving that he is not a “one-trick pony.” The historical record comes just after Kendrick announced his surprise Juneteenth concert in Los Angeles later this month. The song is slated to go down as a part of one of his biggest streaming years in his career. With rumors of a new album coming from Drake later this summer, fans are eager to see if there will be a response from the Toronto rapper. Drizzy has yet to announce anything and nor has Kendrick. The beef may just be reignited but only time will tell.

It remains to be seen if “Not Like US” will continue to break records over time or if the buzz will die down.
