It looks like Drakeโs year just continues to get worse. Richie Branson, who is known for work on the popular video game โFortnite,โ has now developed โNot Like Us: The Gameโ based on Kendrick Lamarโs 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 Lamarโs music video for โNot Like Usโ โ specifically, the part in which Lamar repeatedly hits an owl piรฑata and raps: โCertified Loverboy, certified pedophile/Wop Wop Wop Wop Wop/Dot f*ck โem up/Wop Wop Wop Wop Wop/Imma do my stuff.โ
The objective is for the player to hit as many owls as they can before time runs out.
โNot Like Us: The Gameโ is soundtracked by a chiptune version of Mustardโs โNot Like Usโ beat. Every time the player hits an owl, the screen shows a โWOP!โ The song debuted at No. 1 in May for a week and spent the next eight weeks in the Top 10.
This week, โNot Like Usโ 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 โHumbleโ rapper performed the song six times at his โThe Pop Outโ concert in Los Angeles which was streamed on Amazon Prime. During his set, several rappersโincluding Dr. Dre, Jay Rock, YG, Tyler the Creator, Schoolboy Q and moreโcame 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.
