Entertainment Rap

Drake fans use the video game “Family Matters” to counter Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” game.

This rap beef has found its way into politics, soccer, Olympic basketball, and now, gaming.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar may not be releasing songs aimed at one another anymore, but the war among their fanbases is as alive as ever. The OVO hive released a video game inspired by “Family Matters” to counter the “Not Like Us” video game last week.

An X (formerly Twitter) account shared the game on Monday (July 22). The point of the game is to shoot Grammy awards into K. Dot’s mouth, which aligns with Drizzy’s line “Kendrick just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now.” As players get deeper into the game, the objective becomes more difficult as the Compton rapper’s head starts moving side to side. In true video game fashion, a theme song is in the background: a video game-like version of the “Family Matters” instrumental.

“Made by some real ones to prove a point,” the game’s credits read. “That Not Like us game was trash. KBots backdooring the plays like Kendrick’s Spotify, haha.” Lamar detractors have claimed that he has had bots boosting his YouTube views and streams for weeks, so of course whoever made this game had to take a shot at that as well.

“Let’s see if @Complex , @XXL and all the other site run with the Family Matters Game like they did the other game,” the game’s account wrote on X. “Someone send this ish to @Akademiks @AkademiksTV lol.” In typical Drake and Kendrick Lamar fashion, the reactions to the game were split.

“So let me ask you guys a question, if Drake’s Family Matters was the 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 shot, why is it off the music charts but Not Like Us is #1???” one fan wrote. “I like Drake’s music but I’ve never heard anyone playing FM in the clubs or anywhere else and I’m from Toronto!!!” Another person wrote, “Nah this is hilarious whoever made this.”

“Family Matters” came out on Friday (May 3) exclusively via YouTube and hit streaming services the day later. The three-part track included shots at Lamar, The Weeknd, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, and A$AP Rocky. It debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 but did not remain in the Top 10 for long. Meanwhile, “Not Like Us” debuted at No. 1 on the chart and recently returned to the top spot.
