Kendrick Lamar songs and albums vanish from YouTube and Apple Music. Fans speculate on Drake’s ICEMAN or a surprise release. No official word yet.
- May 12, 2026
AceShowbiz - Kendrick Lamar fans are left puzzled as several key songs and projects suddenly disappear from major streaming services.
Notably, tracks like Not Like Us and luther have been removed from YouTube, while the album GNX and the Drake diss track euphoria are no longer accessible on Apple Music for many users.
This unexpected removal has sparked widespread speculation online. Some fans of Drake suggest that the upcoming release of his album ICEMAN could be influencing these changes, with the album set to drop later this week. However, others have proposed theories that Kendrick Lamar might be preparing a deluxe edition or surprise release, although these claims remain unconfirmed and are not widely supported.
To date, no official statement has been made by Kendrick Lamar's team addressing the situation, leaving fans and observers uncertain about the cause of the removals. Interestingly, much of Kendrick Lamar's catalog remains available on platforms like Spotify, though some users report regional restrictions saying the content is "not available in your country."
Online communities, including Reddit, have quickly acted to download and preserve the tracks where possible. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories abound with some suggesting sinister motives tied to the ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. The track Not Like Us is considered one of the most significant diss records in recent rap history, having dominated charts and won Grammys following the 2024 dispute between the two artists.
Despite the rumors, there is no clear indication that Kendrick Lamar is intimidated by Drake or that the removal is anything other than a technical issue or strategic maneuver involving PGLang, Kendrick Lamar's creative company.
With anticipation building for Drake's forthcoming album, fans remain eager to see how this situation unfolds and whether the missing tracks will return. For now, the mystery continues as investigators and fans watch closely for any updates.
