Kendrick Lamar’s Houston Blockade, ‘Not Like Us’ Allegedly Banned from Local Hotspots

The decade-long feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has reached new heights, marked by a series of scathing diss tracks that have captivated fans worldwide. It all began with “Like That,” followed by “Push-Ups,” and escalated with “Euphoria.” However, the night of May 3rd was unforgettable, as “Family Matters” sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community, only for “Meet The Grahams” to leave everyone stunned.

The day after this historic showdown, Kendrick Lamar dropped another bombshell with “Not Like Us.” This track quickly became the anthem of their beef, holding the number-one spot globally for weeks. Yet, despite its immense popularity, Houston seems to be a notable exception. Reports suggest that several establishments in the city have allegedly banned “Not Like Us.”

The reasons behind this apparent ban remain unclear, but speculation points toward Drake’s influence. Drake, known for his frequent visits to Houston and ties to local mogul J Prince, could potentially sway such decisions. However, no concrete evidence supports these claims. DJs in Texas, beware—playing “Not Like Us” might not go down well.

What do you think about this situation? Is Drake pulling the strings behind the scenes? How do you feel about Houston clubs acting as if this track doesn’t exist?
