Drake is entangled in a legal dispute with Universal Music Group (UMG) over a diss track by Kendrick Lamar that targets him. UMG's move to dismiss Drake's defamation claim highlights that the diss track, 'Not Like Us,' cannot be seen as defamatory because it is rooted in artistic expression. The label argues that rap battles should remain free from legal constraints, emphasizing that both artists engage in provocative lyrics. Notably, they point out Drake's prior involvement in similar lyrical attacks and his acknowledgment of the hyperbolic nature of rap, questioning his current stance.
Drake's legal battle against his own label stems from the ongoing rap feud with Kendrick Lamar. Universal Music Group argues that his lawsuit is misguided and undermines artistic expression.
Lawyers for UMG assert that diss tracks, like Lamar's 'Not Like Us', are an essential part of hip hop culture and should not face legal actions that would stifle creativity.
