Drake files second action against UMG

[Teletubby 140,085]

Drake has launched a second bombshell legal action against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” accusing the music giant of defamation and claiming it could have halted the release of a song “falsely accusing him of being a sex offender.”

A day after filing an action in New York accusing UMG of illegally boosting Lamar’s track on Spotify, Drake’s company leveled similar claims in Texas court regarding radio giant iHeartRadio. The new filing, filed late Monday and made public on Tuesday, claims UMG “funneled payments” to iHeart as part of a “pay-to-play scheme” to promote the song on radio.

But the filing also offers key new details about Drake’s grievances toward UMG, the label where he has spent his entire career. In it, he says UMG knew that Kendrick’s song “falsely” accused him of being a “certified pedophile” and “predator” but chose to release it anyway.

This is soooo funny  He's literally spiraling because he lost a diss battle, people can say whatever they want on a diss track, that's the game... His reputation is done after this

I love how when stuff like this happens we get to know all the dirty stuff record labels do with radio

Remember when they told us radio payola doesn’t exist

this is a different from the first lawsuit.

 

on this he's arguing that the song shouldn't even be allowed to be released, a diss track, he's full one delusional at this point

Drake has always been a weak ass poser and everybody in the hip hop game knows it

Someone is accusing him of being a pedophile and predator in a song, I don't know if it's true or not but I'd sue too  As a singer, such claims can cost him tens of millions of $ from defamation

I read a post saying “three dreads man, pink lady, and beige Canadian” describing the most successful Young Money artists. They’ve all turned out to be pretty problematic and I’m a messy b itch so I am living for this drama.

He started this whole thing with pull ups, also claimed that kendrick is a women beater in other disses and you don't see kendrick suing. 

Diss battles are a part of hip culture, you can't sue because you got dissed 

[lastpopicon 6,167]

Not pull ups, it's called push up's, need to level up my hip hop game

It’s rap my guy, it’s a rap battle.

This is like Mike Tyson suing the organisers of his boxing match with Logan Paul because Logan was punching him in the ring.

Before this track Drake falsely accused Kendrick of beating his fiancée/wife Whitney and falsely claimed that not all of his children were his and were instead fathered by Dave Free. Kendrick didn’t sue, he responded with disses of his own and made a video directed by Dave Free featuring his family dancing and embracing.

Jay Z didn’t sue Nas when Nas accused him of performing oral sex on an underage Foxy Brown, Cam’ron didn’t sue Mase for accusing him of having sex with his own sister, Nicki didn’t sue Remy Ma when she claimed Nicki slept with Radio DJ Ebro etc. 

Acting like this is exactly what Kendrick meant in Euphoria when he questioned Drake’s connection to the culture and called him a fraud. Funnily enough, Kendrick also mentions Drake sent a cease and desist for the “Like That” track which is similar to the accusations made that he sent a cease and desist to French Montana.

Let’s be 100% real here. Drake has “lied” in his music and in his disses directed to other artists, he has his shady streaming deals and he has been accused of inflating streams. He got sent a cease and desist from Tupac’s estate for generating Tupac and Snoop’s voice using AI for his Taylor Made diss. This is all hypocrisy and projection from a fragile individual who lost a rap battle.
