  Boosie Badazz criticized both Lamar and Drake and their respective fanbases over the feud, expressing that the feud undermines their careers and respective contributions to the genre. Kurupt, Ice Cube, and Questlove echoed similar sentiments, with Kurupt saying "Life is precious, my nigga. So if y'all ain't gonna fight, stop it...". The feud was also criticized by Stevie Wonder and Macklemore for overshadowing ongoing international conflicts, with the latter releasing the pro-Palestinian song " Hind's Hall ", containing the line "I want a ceasefire, fuck a response from Drake". Singer Sheryl Crow criticized Drake's use of AI in "Taylor Made Freestyle," saying: "It's hateful. It is antithetical to the life force that exists in all of us."

Former wrestler and current WWE producer Shawn Michaels, whose Sweet Chin Music finishing move was mentioned in "Not Like Us", invited the pair to settle their feud on NXT. Tennis star Naomi Osaka claimed that in her opinion, Lamar is winning the feud, and that she used "Not Like Us" in coming out to the court before beating Clara Burel at the Italian Open. After defeating Canada in the 2024 Copa América semifinals, the Argentine national football team posted images with "Not Like Us" emblazoned above a photo of the team, a jab at Drake for betting $300,000 on the Canadian team. The feud was referenced on Saturday Night Live ' s Weekend Update segment. Professional basketball players Stephen Curry and LeBron James, who were both mentioned in "Meet the Grahams", discussed the frequent usage of "Not Like Us" after a Team USA basketball match. Curry said "it's not the only song in America" while James said he loves the song, while agreeing that "we gotta get something else." Curry later said in an interview with GQ that he's still a 'big Drake guy'.
