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.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
