Kendrick Lamar's ‘Not Like Us’ allegedly banned from select Houston establishments

Kendrick Lamar's track "Not Like Us" has reportedly been banned from certain establishments in Houston. This development follows a series of diss tracks exchanged between Lamar and fellow rapper Drake, intensifying their long-standing feud. The conflict peaked this year with tracks like "Like That," "Push-Ups," "Euphoria," "Family Matters," and "Meet The Grahams," with "Not Like Us" becoming a significant piece of the ongoing dispute.

Released the day after "Meet The Grahams," Lamar's "Not Like Us" has dominated global charts, becoming the number-one song worldwide for several weeks. However, some Houston venues are reportedly not playing the track. Speculation has arisen that Drake, who frequently visits Houston and has connections with influential figures like J Prince, may be involved. Yet, no concrete evidence supports this claim.

The reasons behind the alleged ban remain unclear. DJs in Texas are advised to exercise caution when including "Not Like Us" in their sets. The song's success and the subsequent backlash in Houston highlight the intense nature of Lamar and Drake's rivalry.
