Drake has expanded his lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us', alleging defamation from Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance in 2025. The lyrics suggest Drake is a 'certified paedophile', which Drake claims falsely brands him as a criminal and incites public vigilante justice. UMG argues that the lawsuit is without merit and has moved to dismiss it. However, the amended lawsuit asserts Lamar's live performance perpetuated these defamatory ideas, despite Lamar omitting the most damaging line during the broadcast, leading to increased threats against Drake and his family.
Drake's amended lawsuit alleges that Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance and lyrics in 'Not Like Us' falsely labeled him a criminal, leading to public defamation.
UMG argues that the lawsuit lacks merit and is a misuse of their long-standing relationship with Drake, who they regard as an incredibly accomplished artist.
