Lamar described 'Not Like Us' as a reflection of his persona, emphasizing his morals and values, particularly in the context of his lyrical feud with Drake.

Released in May 2024, 'Not Like Us' marked the conclusion of Lamar's earlier rivalry with Drake, which had intensified throughout the year.

DJ Hed, a co-host of Kendrick's concert, predicts that 'Not Like Us' will be a strong contender at the upcoming 2025 Grammy Awards.

The success of 'Not Like Us' has set the stage for notable recognition at the Grammy Awards, with nominations expected to be announced in November.

Lamar clarified that the diss track aimed at Drake was not born from anger but rather from an understanding of love and conflict, showcasing his emotional depth.

Despite his musical achievements, Lamar expressed that his ultimate goal is to connect with youth and share his experiences rather than merely pursuing a music career.

He also discussed the importance of balancing masculinity and femininity in his life and music, highlighting the complexity of his identity.

Lamar emphasized that his ability to connect authentically with others stems from embracing his softer, more expressive side, which he believes is crucial for vulnerability.

He reiterated that he does not view himself as an angry person, but rather as someone who believes in the coexistence of love and war, which he channels into his music.

In a recent interview published by Harper's Bazaar, Kendrick Lamar and SZA engaged in a candid discussion, with Lamar elaborating on his hit single 'Not Like Us' and its significance.

The track quickly gained popularity, celebrated by fans as a definitive victory for Lamar, and became the longest-running No. 1 on the Hot Rap Songs chart, surpassing Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' with 21 weeks at the top.

In the interview, Kendrick shared insights about his relationship with God, revealing that he communicates with Him regularly, which sometimes leads him to question his own sanity.
