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 :air: 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 :deadbanana:

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 :brat:

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 :awkney: 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.
