Overview

• Drake’s amended complaint accuses UMG of promoting Kendrick Lamar’s diss track 'Not Like Us' during the Super Bowl halftime show and Grammy Awards to defame him.
• The lawsuit highlights Lamar’s omission of the word 'pedophile' during the Super Bowl performance as evidence of the track’s defamatory nature.
• Drake claims the performances introduced the song to millions of new listeners, intensifying public belief in the allegations and increasing threats against him and his family.
• UMG continues to deny the allegations, calling the lawsuit baseless and asserting it could stifle artistic expression.
• The case progresses with discovery underway, and UMG is expected to respond to the amended complaint by early May.
