Kanye West Expresses Disdain for Kendrick Lamar’s Hit Song ‘Not Like Us’

 American rapper and music mogul Kanye West has made headlines once again after publicly admitting his strong dislike for Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us.”

The song, which was part of Lamar’s much-publicized feud with Drake, became an instant hit, dominating airwaves and streaming platforms. Many regarded it as one of the most scathing diss tracks in hip-hop history. However, in a recent social media post, Kanye West declared, “I HAAAAAATED ‘Not Like Us.’” His statement sparked immediate reactions from fans and industry insiders.

West’s comment came as a surprise to many, considering he previously expressed admiration for Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical abilities. Some speculate that his disdain for the track stems from Lamar’s recent collaborations with other artists, particularly his work with Playboi Carti, which Kanye reportedly disapproved of.

The feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, which “Not Like Us” fueled, had already drawn mixed reactions across the hip-hop community. While some fans believed Lamar delivered a lyrical masterclass, others—including West—appear to have taken a different stance.

As the hip-hop world continues to dissect West’s statement, the question remains: Is this another case of Kanye being controversial for attention, or does he genuinely dislike the song?
