Kendrick Lamar’s song Not Like Us saw a huge 430% increase in streams on Spotify after his Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday night. The other nine songs he performed also got a big boost, with overall streams rising by 175%, according to Spotify.
During his 13-minute set, Lamar teased Not Like Us twice before performing it. He also brought out SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams, and Mustard for a tribute to his hometown, Compton, California.
His performance featured an American flag color theme and included songs from his new album GNX as well as some older hits. Jackson, dressed as Uncle Sam, introduced Lamar, who performed with a team of dancers. Songs like DNA., Peekaboo, Squabble Up, and HUMBLE. were part of the setlist.
Many fans wondered if he would perform Not Like Us, his diss track against Drake. But considering how popular it was—it even won five Grammys, including Song and Record of the Year—it was no surprise that he did.
