Drake’s ‘Push Ups’ Debuts at No. 2 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs

Drake's "Push Ups," his perceived response to Kendrick Lamar's "Like That" verse, starts at No. 2 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, with 28 million streams.

The song, released April 19 through OVO/Republic Records, is widely seen as a direct response to Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar ’s collaboration “Like That,” on which the lattermost’s verse included rhymes that many interpreted as insults to Drake and J. Cole. After “Push Ups” premiered, Drake dropped a second diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” exclusively as an audio file on his X (formerly known as Twitter) and Instagram channels the same day. As “Taylor Made Freestyle” was available only through social media channels and did not appear on streaming services, digital retailers or receive radio play, the song did not generate any activity to contribute to Billboard ’s charts.
