Kendrick Lamar's Hot Diss Targeting J. Cole & Drake Fuels “Like That,” Single From Metro Future & Metro Boomin's We Don't Trust You, peak Billboard's Hot 100 chartthe publication announced on Monday.
We Don't Trust You takes four of the Top 10 for its first week, with “Type Shit” featuring Playboi Carti and Travis Scott taking number two, “Cinderella” featuring Travis Scott coming in at Number Six, “We Don't Trust You” takes eighth place and “Young Metro” featuring The Weeknd takes ninth.
“Like That” opened with 59.6 million streams, along with another 9,000 in traditional sales, according to Luminate. “Like That” dethroned Teddy Swims' “Lose Control” which fell to Number Four. Hozier's “Too Sweet” debuts at No. 5. Benson Boone's Beautiful Things, No. 2 last week, took third.
“Like That” quickly went viral largely thanks to Lamar's disdain for Cole and Drake, widely considered the other two greatest rappers of their generation. “Fuck sneak dissin', first person shooter,” Lamar rapped, referring to Drake and Cole's collaborative single from For all dogs. “Fuck the big three, I'm just big me,” Lamar also said, likening the feud to that of Prince and Michael Jackson.
While Lamar's diss was the most blatant, fans speculate that both Future and Metro also took shots at Drake on the album. “Like That” spent much of last week atop the Apple Music and Spotify charts as well. Drake appeared to make light of the diss last week during a concert in Florida, telling the crowd that “I got my head up, my back straight, I'm ten fucking toes down… and I know there's no more n ***One on this Earth that could ever fuck me.”
Future and Metro now dominate both the Hot 100 and Albums charts We Don't Trust You open me over 250,000 unitsper Luminate, surpassing Ariana Grande's Eternal sunshine as the biggest debut of 2024 so far. However, that distinction will be short-lived as Beyoncé is almost certain to eclipse that figure next week with her country hue. Cowboy Carter. The question is how big will Queen Bey's debut be. Renaissance opened with about 332,000 units in 2022.
