Universal Music Group (UMG) has responded to Drake's lawsuit, claiming that the rapper is unable to accept defeat in a competitive rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. UMG argues that Drake's accusations are unfounded, pointing out his past support for the idea that artists should not face legal consequences for their lyrics. Additionally, UMG emphasizes that the audience was prepared for aggressive content given the history of lyrical exchanges between the two artists, rendering any claims of defamation baseless.
Drake, rather than handling the result of the competition maturely, chose to sue UMG, demonstrating his inability to accept losing the rap battle.
Drake previously advocated against the use of rap lyrics in legal contexts but now contradicts this stance by suing UMG for perceived defamation.
UMG highlights the expectation of aggressive lyrics in the context of rivalry, citing prior tracks where both Drake and Lamar exchanged harsh allegations.
The ongoing back-and-forth between Drake and Lamar illustrates the intense nature of rap battles, making it clear that aggressive lyrics are par for the course.
