Drake Accuses Universal and Spotify of Boosting Kendrick Lamar Diss Track

The rapper alleges defamation and unfair promotion tactics after Lamar's 'Not Like Us' became a record-breaking hit.

Drake has filed legal actions against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify, claiming they artificially boosted the popularity of Kendrick Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us.'
The accusations include the use of bots to inflate streams, payola schemes with radio stations, and preferential treatment on Spotify's platform.
Drake has also accused UMG of defamation for releasing the song, which he claims falsely labels him as a 'certified pedophile.'
UMG has denied the allegations, calling them 'offensive and untrue,' while Spotify has declined to comment on the situation.
The feud between Drake and Lamar has escalated since March, with both artists releasing a series of diss tracks targeting each other, culminating in legal action.
