Drake Sues Universal Music Over Kendrick Lamar Diss Track Allegations

The rapper accuses his label of prioritizing profits over his safety and reputation after promoting a song suggesting criminal behavior.

Drake has filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging defamation and endangerment stemming from Kendrick Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us.'
The lawsuit claims UMG promoted the song, which falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile, to generate profits and create a viral hit.
Drake asserts that UMG's actions led to threats to his physical safety, including a shooting near his Toronto home that injured a security guard.
The rapper emphasizes that his legal action targets the label, not Lamar, accusing UMG of exploiting the track to harm his brand ahead of contract renegotiations.
UMG denies the allegations, calling them illogical and stating that the company has consistently supported Drake's success.
