Mustard Says He Didn't Know Kendrick Turned 'Not Like Us' Into Drake Diss

"Not Like Us" by Kendrick Lamar is a game-changer in his lyrical war with Drake; Mustard, the song's producer, never saw it coming!

Recall that Kendrick unexpectedly released "Not Like Us" on Saturday, May 4, building on his "Meet the Grahams" diss, giving him an unstoppable momentum.

Mustard scored the West Coast savvy track, but tells Billboard he had no clue-what-so-ever Kendrick was releasing the song -- or even crafted it to be a Drake diss. 😂

The 10 Summers executive also refuted rumors that he created the song using Nas' "Ether" beat, saying instead that he was just channeling Lil Jon and Dr. Dre's energy in the studio. The result was the number one song on the Hot 100!

Mustard further states that he created the game-changing beat in just thirty minutes, and it has since received hundreds of millions of streams!
