Kendrick Lamar Smacks An Owl Piñata In A New Photo Teasing His ‘Not Like Us’ Video

Kendrick Lamar has reignited his feud with Drake, sending fans into a frenzy with explosive teaser photos from the set of his upcoming “Not Like Us” music video.

The track, a scathing diss aimed at Drake, has dominated since its release, skyrocketing to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a hot topic in cultural conversations.

Anticipation for the video soared after Lamar’s Juneteenth concert at The Forum on June 19, The Pop Out – Ken & Friends, where he performed “Not Like Us” five times in a row. The 18-track set also featured appearances from Kendrick’s Black Hippy crewmates and his longtime mentor Dr. Dre.

Among the most talked-about images is a shot of Kendrick smashing an owl piñata, a clear jab at Drake’s OVO brand. The photo, captioned “DISCLAIMER: NO OVHOES WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS VIDEO,” has set social media on fire, heightening excitement for the music video and the ongoing rivalry between these two rap giants.

Another photo offers a rare glimpse into Kendrick’s personal life, showing him with his longtime partner Whitney Alford and their two children. This tender family moment suggests the video may balance its hard-hitting disses with an intimate look at the rapper.

Shot in Kendrick’s hometown of Compton, California, the “Not Like Us” video promises to maintain the authentic, gritty style that defines his celebrated work. While the exact release date is still unknown, one thing is certain: the cultural impact of this video will be huge.
