People Are Tired of ‘Not Like Us’ and Don’t Want to Hear It
Kendrick Lamar will likely perform his blockbuster hit song “Not Like Us” during his 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show, and some people are tired of the song and don’t wanna hear it.
When “Not Like Us” emerged on May 4 as the presumable finale to Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s vitriolic feud, the track took off like wildfire and broke out as the song of the summer. The song dethroned Drake’s “Girls Wants Girls” for the biggest single-day streams of a hip-hop song, and surpassed “God’s Plan” to become the fastest hip-hop song in history to achieve 100 million streams. K-Dot then capped off the “Not Like Us” mania by playing it five times during his Pop Out celebration concert in Compton on June 19, and dropping off the single’s music video on July 5.
Despite these accolades and all of the times “Not Like Us” could be heard blaring from block parties, bars, sports broadcasts, supermarkets, and even high school dances it appears some fans are experiencing “Not Like Us” fatigue.
“And just when y’all were tired of hearing Not Like Us, Kendrick booked the Super Bowl halftime performance,” one person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, which can be seen below. “Nobody wants to hear not like us like give it a rest,” another person added.

While the oversaturation of “Not Like Us” may be very real, that hasn’t stopped people from listening to the song at a relentless pace. As of writing, the track remains at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and as fall sports season kicks off, the song is already making its way into the marching band space.
Admittedly, the song has also only been out for four months, so if the track continues to burn as bright as it has, the “Not Like Us” mania isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. While some fans may have a hard time hearing that Mustard beat heading into 2025, let’s remember that the person hurting the most remains Drake. Fans continue to flood lyrics from “Not Like Us” into his Instagram comments, even targeting some of his other signees like PARTYNEXTDOOR. Whether or not people are tired of hearing “Not Like Us,” the song still has enough ammo for now to keep Kendrick’s neck on Drizzy’s throat, and isn’t that the most important part of a rap beef?
