Kendrick Lamar's hit track "Not Like Us" experienced a massive 430% increase in Spotify streams following his Super Bowl halftime show performance. The surge came after Lamar performed the controversial Drake diss track despite ongoing legal tensions.

The Grammy-winning artist's entire catalog saw a 175% boost in listenership, with several tracks from his setlist experiencing significant gains:

• "Humble" - 300% increase
• "All the Stars" (featuring SZA) - 290% increase
• "man at the garden," "DNA.," "euphoria," "squabble up," and "peekaboo" - 230-260% increase
• "luther" and "tv off" - 170%+ increase

SZA, who made a special appearance during the show, also benefited from the exposure with an 80% increase in her Spotify streams.

"Not Like Us," which recently earned Lamar five Grammy Awards (bringing his career total to 22), maintained its original Drake disses during the performance but notably omitted certain controversial lyrics. The track has dominated charts, spending two weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 20 weeks leading the Hot Rap Songs chart.

The performance came amid heightened tension between Lamar and Drake, with the latter's legal team threatening expanded defamation suits against Universal Music Group if the song was performed. Despite these threats, Lamar delivered the track to an enthusiastic stadium audience who joined in singing its memorable lines.
