Kendrick Lamar continues to rack up honors for his phenomenally successful album, GNX. Just two months into 2025, he’s already had a bustling year. Fresh off a rap feud with Drake in 2024 that resulted in the popular diss track “Not Like Us,” the song earned him five Grammy awards and a slot at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show the very next weekend.
Wow, it appears that his latest masterpiece, GNX, has just shattered a streaming record previously held by Travis Scott’s UTOPIA. When Scott released UTOPIA in July 2023, the album became the quickest rap album to amass two billion streams in the 2020s, reaching that milestone in 114 days back then. But
The Compton rapper is steadily climbing higher, with his recent songs “Not Like Us,” “Luther” featuring SZA, “TV Off,” and “Squabble Up” making it to the Billboard Hot 100’s top five slots. Although he surpassed Drake in their “Not Like Us” feud, Drake regained his position as No. 1 on Spotify, maintaining his status as the leading artist. Kendrick trails closely behind at No. 2. As they both reign supreme, we can only wait and see how this rivalry unfolds in the coming days.
In just 96 days, Kendrick Lamar’s album ‘GNX’ has broken the record set by Travis Scott’s ‘UTOPIA‘ as the swiftest Rap album to amass two billion streams in the 2020s decade, leaving us all amazed! 🤯
