This game was made without harming any 16-bit owls.Music video “Not Like Us” is going places. Whether or not the song is played out has been the subject of online controversy, but the outcomes are evident. Thanks to the viral video, Kendrick Lamar’s diss is back on top of the Billboard charts. Moreover, one of the most popular parts of the music video served as inspiration for a video game that was developed by graphic designer Richard Branson. You can now use a stick to defeat Drake’s OVO owls as well.

On July 15, Branson shared a button for the “Not Like Us” game. There is no cost to play the game. The graphic designer explicitly said that making money off of the song was not his goal. “This game is a free love letter to video games and hip-hop,” Branson said under the game’s credits. The objective of the game is to use a piñata stick to strike the most owls possible. The “Not Like Us” video’s piñata sequence served as the inspiration for the premise. A satirical owl supposed to represent Drake’s emblem is taken down by Kendrick Lamar. He is accompanied by the words: “No OVHoes were harmed in the making of this video” underneath. The game doesn’t have any of that text, but it still has a great sense of humor.

Plays of the “Not Like Us” game quickly went viral on the internet. Many fans shared their outcomes on various social media platforms. There were even those who detailed the most challenging stages. The timing of the video game was perfect. When it came out in May, “Not Like Us” was the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100. It vacillated between positions 2 and 6 for the subsequent eight weeks before finally settling on position 3. Surprisingly, though, the song soared back to the top around the Fourth of July. For Kendrick Lamar, this is his first number one as a solo artist that lasted more than a week.

Any effort to reframe the song has failed because it is so intrinsically linked to its intended audience. During his most recent performance in Sin City, Lil Wayne attempted to turn the song’s meaning on its head. That was unsuccessful. The choice to play a Kendrick Lamar song by Weezy F. Baby confused the fans. Many people thought the rapper was attempting to say one thing and meant another when he rode with Lamar instead of Drake. Even though Drake hasn’t won in a while, Lamar keeps winning.
