The tension between Kendrick Lamar and Drake escalates as Kendrick releases a series of provocative teaser photos from the upcoming music video for “Not Like Us.” 

The track, which serves as a sharp rebuke to Drake, soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, becoming a cultural touchstone since its release.

Anticipation has been building rapidly, especially after Kendrick’s unforgettable Juneteenth performance at The Forum. 

The event, titled “The Pop Out – Ken & Friends,” featured him performing the diss track five consecutive times, much to the delight of fans. 

The performance also included appearances from members of the Black Hippy crew and Kendrick’s mentor, Dr. Dre, making the evening a landmark event in hip-hop.

Among the teaser images stirring up the most buzz is one where Kendrick is seen smashing an owl piñata, a clear dig at Drake’s OVO brand. 

Accompanying this image, a playful caption reads: "DISCLAIMER: NO OVHOES WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO," which ignited social media discussions and heightened anticipation for the video’s release.

However, it's not all confrontational. 

Another image shared by Kendrick offers a glimpse into his personal life, showing him with his partner Whitney Alford and their two children. 

This snapshot suggests that the music video will not only showcase Kendrick’s lyrical prowess but also provide a more personal look at his life away from the spotlight.

Filmed in his hometown of Compton, California, the “Not Like Us” music video promises to maintain the raw, authentic vibe that Kendrick Lamar is renowned for. 

While the release date remains a closely guarded secret, the impact of this music video is expected to be profound, resonating throughout the music industry and beyond.
