Drake's recent defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group has been countered by the label, which argues the lawsuit is a desperate attempt to reclaim his image after losing a rap battle to Kendrick Lamar. The label claims the accusations are meritless, highlighting that Drake himself has engaged in derogatory remarks during the rap feud. They emphasize that lyrics in diss tracks like 'Not Like Us' are protected by the First Amendment, suggesting that permitting Drake's lawsuit could hinder artistic expression in rap music.
'Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated.'
'Diss tracks are a popular and celebrated artform centered around outrageous insults, and they would be severely chilled if Drake's suit were permitted to proceed.'
