Michael Rubin’s defending his decision to 86 Kendrick Lamar‘s megahit, “Not Like Us” during his annual All-White Party … and admits it was all to put Drake at ease.
The Fanatics CEO told “The Breakfast Club” on Wednesday that it was his decision — not Drake’s — to ban the record that has since become K. Dot’s biggest song of his career!!!
MR was confirming the story TMZ Hip Hop broke last month — that despite the song’s massive culture and chart success, none of the DJs at Rubin’s party spun the record.
Rubin called Drake his friend IRL, and said he’d never set him up to be embarrassed … but admitted Kendrick’s track ban was only verbalized the day of the party, when the song slipped through the cracks.
The All-White Party went down on the 4th of July, but Rubin says they were having a pre-game BBQ the night before … and “Not Like Us” began to stream from Spotify’s RapCaviar playlist — right before Drake pulled up!!!
Drake’s since taken over RapCaviar in wake of his 100GBs explosion … currently owning the top 2 song slots and the cover photo.
Rubin swatted down social media rumors Drake was too depressed over the battle with Kendrick to actually enjoy the party. According to his memory, Drake had a great time!
Kendrick’s diss is the top-selling song of the year, but Rubin thinks this is a great test for Drake to bounce back.
With friends like this, enemies better watch out!!!
Michael Rubin’s decision to exclude Kendrick Lamar’s hit song, “Not Like Us,” from his All-White Party has sparked controversy and speculation.
Rubin, the Fanatics CEO, revealed on “The Breakfast Club” that he made the call to not play the track, despite its popularity and success. The move was reportedly to avoid any potential tension with Drake, who is a close friend of Rubin in real life.
Although the decision to ban Kendrick’s song was made last minute, it did not go unnoticed. The night before the party, “Not Like Us” started playing from Spotify’s Rap Caviar playlist during a pre-game BBQ as Drake arrived. The timing of Kendrick releasing the music video on July 4 only added fuel to the fire.
Despite rumors circulating on social media about Drake feeling down over the situation, Rubin clarified that Drake enjoyed the party and had a great time. With Drake currently dominating Rap Caviar with his own tracks, Rubin sees this as a test for Drake to come back stronger.

Rubin’s support for Drake in this situation only further solidifies their friendship and alliance in the music industry.
