Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” and “Luther” Videos Were Removed

On May 11, 2026, Kendrick Lamar’s official videos for “Not Like Us” and “Luther” disappeared from YouTube with the message “removed by the uploader.”

“Not Like Us,” the 2024 Drake diss, had more than 400 million views. “Luther,” the SZA collaboration from GNX, vanished at the same time. GNX and the diss track “euphoria” also dropped off Apple Music and other services for a stretch.

Hours later the videos came back. A re-upload of “Not Like Us” reset the view count to zero before the original version returned. pgLang and Interscope did not explain the takedown.

The timing set off the obvious theory: Drake’s Iceman was four days away. Some fans called it a reminder shot. Others thought it was a rights or metadata issue. Nobody from Kendrick’s camp confirmed either.

Both videos were back up the same day. The brief “removed by the uploader” notice is what the graphic is about.
