7 Times the Sports World Trolled Drake With Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’

Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s feud took the rap world by storm in the spring, while seeping into various pockets of pop culture outside of hip-hop.

The Cali bounce of the Mustard-produced “Not Like Us” ultimately proved to be the knockout punch in Kendrick’s war with the 6 God. While the Drake diss arrived in May, “Not Like Us” has carried considerable momentum as a bona fide song of the summer candidate. Kendrick released the video while the barbecue grills were sizzling on July 4, and the track has returned to the top as it sits at No. 1 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

The Kendrick-Drake war permeated everything from politics — Joe Biden’s campaign even used “Euphoria” to diss Donald Trump — to sports, with teams seemingly turning “Not Like Us” into an anti-Canadian anthem.

Whether it’s USA Basketball, TNT’s Inside the NBA or MLB walk-up music, athletes and organizations have wrapped their arms around the competitive spirit of Kendrick’s “Not Like Us.” As if it wasn’t bad enough that Drake lost $300,000 betting on Canada in the Copa America semi-final, Argentina soccer’s social media team threw some salt in the wound.

With Drizzy being a mega sports fan, it’s likely some of these have made it onto his radar — although he may very well be avoiding the outside world of social media as a whole this summer.

We compiled a list of the seven times athletes, teams and other sports adjacent figures and entities have used “Not Like Us” to troll Drake and/or Canada.
