Drake And The Lawsuit Filed Against UMG (Part 4) (Kendrick Lamar)


Listen Later

In January 2025, rapper Drake filed a defamation lawsuit against his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging that the company promoted Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which falsely accuses Drake of pedophilia. Drake contends that UMG prioritized profit over his safety and reputation, as the song's release allegedly led to violent incidents, including a shooting at his Toronto residence. He also claims that UMG employed bots and engaged in payola schemes to artificially inflate the track's popularity.


UMG has denied these allegations, describing them as "offensive and untrue," and asserting that they would not undermine an artist they have heavily invested in. Legal experts suggest that proving defamation in this context may be challenging due to First Amendment protections of artistic expression. Some speculate that Drake's lawsuit could be a strategic move in his contract negotiations with UMG. The case underscores the complex interplay between artistic freedom and personal reputation in the music industry.
