All Drake and Kendrick Lamar diss songs:From 'Not Like Us' to 'Part 6'

The gig comes amid a big year for Lamar, who has been making headlines for a high-profile feud with Drake. The two rappers have traded barbs in a series of back-and-forth diss tracks, including Lamar's "Not Like Us." Released in May, "Not Like Us" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, and it's nominated for song of the year at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday. In June, Lamar performed the hit track five times during a Juneteenth concert in California.

The feud between Lamar and Drake escalated in March when Lamar appeared on Future and Metro Boomin's song "Like That" and rejected the idea of there being a "big three" in rap consisting of himself, Drake and J. Cole. "It's just big me," he rapped. Drake has fired back with his own diss tracks, including "Taylor Made Freestyle."
