Drake filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group alleging defamation and harassment related to the promotion of Kendrick Lamar's track "Not Like Us." The suit alleges UMG heavily promoted a song that referenced internet rumors accusing Drake of relationships with underage women and pursued a viral campaign despite safety concerns. Lawyers claim UMG prioritized profits over artist safety after multiple intruders and a gunman breached Drake's Toronto estate in May 2024. The complaint asserts UMG enriched itself by exploiting Drake's music and compares the track's accusations to Pizzagate. UMG denies the claims and called harming one of its artists illogical.
Drake's attempt to get his lick back comes amid a year of Kendrick unequivocally ending the goofy Torontonian, only for the Compton rapper to repeatedly trample on his proverbial grave at his funeral, a victory lap frequently likened to that one elephant's in India. UMG denied Drake's claims in a statement, saying it would be "illogical" for the label to harm one of their own artists.
Drake is suing UMG for defamation and harassment over the release of "Not Like Us," alleging the label heavily promoted the track despite the song creatively referencing internet rumors about his relationships with underage women. "Even though UMG enriched itself and its shareholders by exploiting Drake's music for years, and knew that the salacious allegations against Drake were false, UMG chose corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists," the lawsuit reads.
