Can Drake Regain His Credibility After UMG Legal Action?

After filing two lawsuits against UMG this week against Kendrick's "Not Like Us," Drake's standing in the rap game might be at an all-time low.

From Serena Williams crip-walking at the ESPYs to “Not Like Us” to NBA star DeMar DeRozan jumping on stage during Kendrick’s Pop Out concert and then publicly chewing Drake following a game against his Toronto Raptors, Drizzy’s legacy over the last six months has been riddled with body blows. Unfortunately, things haven’t worked in his favor: Despite handing off features for Camilla Cabello and Gordo, the once highly sought-after Drake Stimulus Package returned with paltry results, with none of the songs reaching the top 40 of the Hot 100. Though Drake’s decision to leak his records seemed genuine, a power play was at work, as he was testing the waters, showing UMG that he could be just as formidable on his own, distributing the music on his website and faux Instagram page, Plottttwisttttt.
