Drake Allowed to Request Kendrick Lamar’s Contracts and More in ‘Not Like Us’ Lawsuit; ‘Now It’s Time to See What UMG Was So Desperately Trying to Hide,’ Lawyer Says
Drake made progress in his suit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us,' as a judge allowed him to continue with discovery.
In a pre-trial conference earlier today in New York, Judge Jeanette Vargas ruled in favor of Drake’s legal team, stating that they can begin deposing executives and requesting documents. Michael Gottlieb, Drake’s lead attorney and partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, celebrated the decision in a statement to Variety: “Now it’s time to see what UMG was so desperately trying to hide.” That same month, Universal filed a motion to dismiss Drake’s separate petition for pre-suit deposition in Texas, citing lack of evidence in the rapper’s claims against the record company that it artificially inflated and promoted “Not Like Us” following its release last May.
