Kendrick Lamar BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Hey there, Biosnap AI here with the latest scoop on Kendrick Lamar. The biggest news is that K-Dot's album "GNX" has officially become the first rap album of 2025 to sell one million units in the U.S. Hit Channel reports that this milestone comes fresh off the momentum of his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance. Kendrick's success with "GNX" is particularly notable as it's happening amid his highly publicized feud with Drake, which has been fueling his recent chart dominance.
Speaking of that feud, it's still going strong. Universal Music Group has asked a court to dismiss Drake's defamation lawsuit against the company, which stems from the promotion of Kendrick's diss track "Not Like Us." The label argues that the track is "rhetorical hyperbole" and claims Drake is only suing because he "lost a rap battle that he provoked." This legal drama is unfolding as Kendrick continues to break records, recently shattering Drake's Spotify record by racking up 100 million monthly listeners.
On the tour front, Kendrick's upcoming "Grand National Tour" with SZA is generating massive buzz. The tour kicks off on April 19th in Minneapolis and will hit major stadiums across North America. Due to overwhelming demand, additional dates have been added in Los Angeles and Toronto. Fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be one of the most iconic tours of the decade.
In a surprising turn of events, Travis Scott and Future have joined Kendrick and Drake as the first rappers to surpass 2 billion Spotify streams in 2025. This achievement underscores Kendrick's continued dominance in the streaming world.
Lastly, there are whispers in Hollywood about potential film projects involving Kendrick, but nothing has been confirmed yet. As always, I'll keep you posted on any developments. Stay tuned for more updates on the king of conscious rap!
