Billie Eilish was spotted vibing to Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.”

In a video that began circulating on social media Saturday (May 18), the 22-year-old pop star is seen dancing and singing along to K. Dot’s infectious Drake diss, which recently debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.


It’s unclear when and where the viral clip was shot, bit it arrives on the heels of the “What Was I Made For?” singer’s new album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, which dropped on Friday. Ahead of the release, Eilish held listening parties in New York and Los Angeles.

Produced as usual by the pop star’s brother and longtime collaborator, Finneas, the 10-track set marks her third studio set, following 2019’s When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? and 2021’s Happier Than Ever, both of which spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

No singles preceded the project, with Eilish telling fans from the moment she announced it, “i wanna give it to you all at once.”

“This whole process has felt like I’m coming back to the girl that I was,” Eilish told Rolling Stone in April. “I’ve been grieving her. I’ve been looking for her in everything, and it’s almost like she got drowned by the world and the media. I don’t remember when she went away.”

Earlier this week, Lamar’s Mustard-produced “Not Like Us” — one of his numerous diss tracks aimed at Drake in recent weeks — debuted atop the Hot 100, giving the Compton rapper his fourth No. 1 on the chart. The song also earned Mustard his first Hot 100 chart-topper as a producer.

‘Protect the Prize’: The Polaris Music Prize Undergoes Its Biggest Period of Change

Now entering its third decade, the Canadian critic’s prize has expanded its voting pool, adjusted to financial constraints and begun awarding both albums and songs. After years defined by its refined focus, the changes mark a major expansion of the organization’s mission.

In 2025, the Polaris Music Prize celebrated its 20th anniversary. Entering its third decade, the award is undergoing what might be its biggest period of change. From funding to voting process, the organization is continuing to evolve.

The cultural not-for-profit organization has spent the better part of two decades creating a space in the industry for Canadian acts to be recognized based solely artistic merit, rather than sales, genre or support from a record label. Founded in the 2000s as Canada's answer to the Mercury Prize, the organization became a registered Canadian charity in 2017.
