Watch Billie Eilish party to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss ‘Not Like Us’
Billie Eilish has been spotted partying to Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Drake diss track. Find footage of the moment below.
A clip of the ‘What Was I Made For’ singer was shared online over the weekend (May 18), in which the 22-year-old is seen dancing and singing along to the already iconic diss track by K. Dot.
It isn’t clear when exactly the celebration took place, or the location in which it was filmed, but it seems like the moment took place just after Eilish dropped her highly-anticipated third album ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft’ on Friday (May 17).
‘Not Like Us’ arrived at the start of the month, as the rapper’s third Drake diss in 36 hours. It also saw him making some accusations about the Canadian rapper over his supposed preference for younger women, to the point where he calls him a “certified paedophile”.
Last week, it was confirmed that Lamar had topped the US charts with the single, and broke records by becoming the hip-hop track to receive the most streams in one day on Spotify – racking up 6.8million plays.

In securing the top position on the charts, ‘Not Like Us’ became Lamar’s fourth Number One song, following on from his feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s ‘Like That’ earlier this year, ‘Humble’, which arrived in 2017 and his verse on Taylor Swift’s 2015 track ‘Bad Blood’.
Following ‘Like That’, Drake fired back with two tracks ‘Push Ups’ and ‘Taylor Made Freestyle‘. The Canadian rapper then landed in hot water after he used AI to emulate Tupac Shakur‘s vocals, leading to the late rapper’s estate threatening legal action. He subsequently removed the track from streaming.
Lamar would then respond with ‘Euphoria‘ on May 1, following it up quickly the following day with ‘6:16 in LA’. The pair then dropped new diss tracks within an hour of each other, with Drake releasing ‘Family Matters’ just before Lamar clapped back with ‘Meet The Grahams’.
More recently, Drake claimed he fed Lamar false intel on new diss ‘The Heart Part 6’, but the track hasn’t been popular with fans – recently surpassing 1million dislikes on YouTube.

As for Eilish, her recent album was given a four-star review by NME, and described as “bold, brilliant and somewhat brighter”.
“Billie came into this process with aspirations to find herself, creatively and personally: ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ remains distinctly unique, a portrait of a singular talent entering young adulthood, exploring her queerness and experiencing the emotional thrill and (sometimes) catastrophe of chasing passion or falling in love,” it read.
“In trying to write an album for herself, she’s made one that will resonate harder than anything she’s done before.”
Shortly after announcing details of the album last month, the ‘Bad Guy’ singer went on to announce a 2024-2025 world tour in support of the LP – set to kick off this Autumn. Visit here to purchase US tickets and here for UK tickets.
Since its release, she and brother/collaborator Finneas both opened up about the album, and said they have “never ever ever loved something more”, and it has been shown that the lyrics to ‘Blue’ make reference to the full LP tracklist.
