Have you heard of the movie Groundhog Day?
According to industry sources, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” is poised to reclaim the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. This kind of resurgence typically happens when a song dominates the Grammys or gets a high-profile performance—but in Lamar’s case, he managed to achieve both milestones within two weeks.
The number of victory laps Kendrick has taken in this feud is staggering. Just months ago, Drake was pleading for a response to his diss track “Push Ups“—fast forward to today, and “Not Like Us” has become a cultural phenomenon. From being quoted by politicians and A-list celebrities to winning multiple Grammys, the track has solidified its place in rap history. And just when it seemed like the dust was settling, Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance reignited its momentum, catapulting it back to the top of the charts.

For Drake, this must feel like a recurring nightmare. With “Not Like Us” refusing to fade from the public eye, it’s easy to see why reports suggest he’s now looking to sue Universal Music Group (UMG)—a move that some speculate is an attempt to shift the narrative surrounding his brutal loss in this rap battle.
With Kendrick continuing to dominate both the culture and the charts, one question remains: Can Drake find a way to move forward, or is this feud going to haunt him indefinitely?
