It looks like Drakeβs year just continues to get worse. Richie Branson, who is known for work on the popular video game βFortnite,β has now developed βNot Like Us: The Gameβ based on Kendrick Lamarβs popular diss track.
The game is 8-bit, browser-based and free to play. In addition, Branson has made his Cash App and Venmo information available for anyone who wants to support.

The game draws inspiration from the Lamarβs music video for βNot Like Usβ β specifically, the part in which Lamar repeatedly hits an owl piΓ±ata and raps: βCertified Loverboy, certified pedophile/Wop Wop Wop Wop Wop/Dot f*ck βem up/Wop Wop Wop Wop Wop/Imma do my stuff.β
The objective is for the player to hit as many owls as they can before time runs out.
βNot Like Us: The Gameβ is soundtracked by a chiptune version of Mustardβs βNot Like Usβ beat. Every time the player hits an owl, the screen shows a βWOP!β The song debuted at No. 1 in May for a week and spent the next eight weeks in the Top 10.
This week, βNot Like Usβ managed to get Lamar his first multi-week Hot 100 No. 1 as a solo artist. The song has received 54 million streams and 40 million radio airplay audience impressions.
Last month, the βHumbleβ rapper performed the song six times at his βThe Pop Outβ concert in Los Angeles which was streamed on Amazon Prime. During his set, several rappersβincluding Dr. Dre, Jay Rock, YG, Tyler the Creator, Schoolboy Q and moreβcame out to show love.
In addition to being the laughing stock of the music industry, Drake is also currently dealing with his Toronto mansion being flooded from torrential rain. This too shall pass, Drizzy.
