Kendrick Lamar and SZA just hit a new milestone, and the internet is having a field day. Their latest collab, “Luther,” has officially racked up a massive 10.6 million streams in a single day on Spotify, marking its biggest streaming day ever. Despite these numbers, the track still sits at #2, right behind “Not Like Us,” the viral hit fueling the ongoing Kendrick-Drake feud.

Of course, the internet had something to say about this. While fans are celebrating Kendrick’s continued dominance, they’re also throwing some lighthearted shade at the entire situation. Some argue “Luther” is the superior song, others are just enjoying the chaos, and then there’s the usual Drake slander. Because, well… it’s Twitter.

Kendrick Lamar & SZA Break Records, but “Not Like Us” Still Reigns

“Luther” pulling these kinds of numbers isn’t surprising. It’s Kendrick and SZA, two powerhouses teaming up to give us yet another banger. The song has been trending since its release, with fans praising its smooth production, strong lyricism, and, of course, SZA’s signature magic.

But despite breaking its own streaming record, “Luther” still can’t dethrone “Not Like Us,” which is still sitting comfortably at #1. And that’s where the jokes start rolling in. Because while “Not Like Us” is undeniably a massive hit, some fans are convinced Luther deserves the top spot.

The post about Luther's record-breaking day took off quickly, mainly because it sparked a debate fans love to have: Which song is better? And, more importantly, is Kendrick still winning this feud?

But let’s be real, when a post combines record-breaking stats, a little music debate, and some hilarious internet reactions, it’s bound to go viral. People love hot takes and petty drama, and this post delivered both.

Fans wasted no time dropping their opinions, and as expected, the reactions were all over the place. One fan confidently declared, “Funny part is it’s a way better song than Not Like Us.”

That sentiment echoed across the comments, with many arguing that while “Not Like Us” is fun, “Luther” is just the superior track musically. Others, however, weren’t convinced and insisted that the energy of “Not Like Us” makes it unbeatable.

Some fans were genuinely hyped about the milestone, celebrating Kendrick and SZA for consistently delivering hits. Others used it as an excuse to clown Drake. And, of course, some are just tired of hearing about the whole beef.

Then came the Drake jokes. Someone posted, “Drake must be punching the air right now…” which, let’s be honest, is the go-to reaction any time Kendrick Lamar racks up another win.

Another fan took it a step further and credited SZA for Kendrick Lamar’s continued success, saying, “She literally giving him hits 😂😂.” It’s hard to argue that SZA’s track record speaks for itself.

Meanwhile, some Kendrick Lamar stans kept things simple and factual: “I’m saying it again, Kendrick Lamar is dominating Spotify.” And they’re not wrong. With multiple chart-toppers and record-breaking streaming numbers, Kendrick’s grip on the game is undeniable.

At the end of the day, whether you think “Luther” is better than “Not Like Us” or not, the fact remains: Kendrick Lamar is having an insane run. The man is stacking wins, whether it’s through chart dominance, viral moments, or just making really good music.

And with the way fans are still debating every move he makes, one thing’s for sure - this conversation isn’t dying down anytime soon.
