Watch Steph Curry and LeBron James Trade Reactions to Hearing Kendrick’s "Not Like Us" Yet Again: ‘Not the Only Song in America’
"It’s not the only song in America," Steph said as the Drake diss boomed over the gym speakers.
The ubiquitousness of Kendrick Lamar’s Drake-dissing hit "Not Like Us" appears to be getting to Steph Curry.
In a clip making the rounds on social media, Curry is seen on the court with fellow Team USA player LeBron James as the Kendrick track booms over the gymnasium speakers.
"Damn with this song," Curry said. "It’s not the only song in America."
At this point, LeBron chimed in, with his response having since been widely boiled down to, simply, "I love it." However, a closer listen reveals that the Lakers star’s response was perhaps a bit more nuanced than that, as he seemingly says, "As much as I love it, we gotta get something else."

Over on the Hot 100, "Not Like Us" has returned to its peak chart position of No. 1, currently putting it ahead of fellow chart-toppers from Shaboozey ("A Bar Song") and Post Malone (the Morgan Wallen-featuring "I Had Some Help"). All told, the song has now spent 10 total weeks on the chart, while the track’s Independence Day-released video is sitting at more than 62 million views as of this writing.
Jermaine Dupri quickly caught wind of the Steph clip, using it as an opportunity to reflect on what he sees as a shift in "the goal" of hip-hop at large. In an Instagram update, Dupri said he found Steph’s reaction to the Kendrick track to be "very ironic."
Steph and LeBron are joined on the Team USA roster by Kevin Durant, Bam Adebayo, Jayson Tatum, Kawhi Leonard, and more. Leading the players is head coach Steve Kerr, who said earlier this year that he was "honored" to have been provided with this opportunity.
"We plan to represent USA Basketball with the utmost class and we hope to make our country proud," the Golden State Warriors coach said in April.
The Kendrick and Drake beef, meanwhile, continues to be a global talking point, as evidenced by its recent Jeopardy! appearance.
