It was a family members affair in Kendrick Lamar’s songs video for his chart-topping keep track of “Not Like Us.”
The visuals for the Drake diss track arrived Thursday, July 4, and with them came a rare appearance from the California native’s fiancée, Whitney Alford, and their two kids, Uzi, who was born in July 2019, and Enoch, born soon after.
In the black-and-white clip, Lamar and Alford are seen dancing in their dwelling area with their little ones. The few are every rocking their own model of streetwear with Lamar, 37, in a zip-up hoodie, outsized shorts and a baseball cap, whilst Alford wears an unzipped sweatshirt, cropped tank leading and baggy jeans. Uzi charms in a tutu gown with a bow, and Enoch sports activities a tracksuit.
Alford beams with pleasure through the temporary family members cameo, dancing solo and with Lamar as their children energetically enjoy and dribble a basketball around the place. This brief snippet comes after Drake beforehand took pictures at Lamar’s spouse and children dynamics in diss tracks like “Family Matters.”
Lamar’s relatives weren’t the only ones to surface in the Dave Absolutely free–directed music online video.
In a star-studded exhibit of help, the video options appearances from notable figures this sort of as Tommy the Clown, producer Mustard (sporting a Toronto Blue Jays cap) and Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith.
Former Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan also made an physical appearance in Lamar’s new audio video clip, momentarily captured as Lamar rapped the strains, “I’m glad DeRoz’ arrived dwelling, y’all didn’t are entitled to him neither.” This lyric seems to commend DeRozan’s departure from the Toronto Raptors in 2018, a team expensive to Canadian rapper Drake.
Lamar does not keep back in his rivalry with Drake and October’s Really Have in the movie possibly, smashing an owl piñata and eyeing a caged owl — clear references to Drake’s OVO image. He also cheekily captioned the scene, “DISCLAIMER: NO OVHOES Had been HARMED Through THE Generating OF THIS Video clip.”
The energetic “Not Like Us” music online video, which racked up nearly 15 million sights in significantly less than 24 hrs, arrives just two months immediately after the No. 1 track was produced. It’s the newest iteration in the very long-standing rap beef concerning Lamar and Drake.
The stress between Drake and Lamar dates back again to 2013 when Lamar dissed the previous Degrassi star on Big Sean‘s track “Control.” Due to the fact then, the two have exchanged refined jabs, but the rivalry intensified in March when they started dropping a number of diss tracks, accusing each other of critical allegations together with domestic abuse and sexual assault.
