Kendrick Lamar Drops Off Billboard Hot 100 For The First Time Since Drake Feud

Kendrick Lamar has dropped off the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking the first time this has happened since his high-profile feud with Drake began.

The Los Angeles rapper had consistently landed on the chart following his viral clash with Drake in 2024, which featured diss tracks and considerable media attention. His last appearance on the chart was with his collaboration with SZA, titled “Luther,” from his album GNX, which spent 13 weeks at number one.

Fans of Drake were quick to cite the chart drop, taking to social media with comments like “But this y’all savior right? Kendrick era for sure LMAO” and “Oh yeah, no one’s gonna come anywhere close to Drake’s consecutive weeks charting record.”

The Drake and Kendrick feud began after Kendrick’s appearance on Future and Metro Boomin’s track “Like That,” where he dismissed the idea of a “Big 3” in hip hop and positioned himself alone. The rivalry escalated with Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” and led to his selection as the headliner for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.

Following the chart news, industry watchers will be monitoring Kendrick’s next moves and how this affects his momentum. Meanwhile, Drake is reportedly preparing his next album, *Iceman*, his first full-length solo release after their feud.
