Drake Claims Universal Music and Spotify ‘Artificially Inflated’ Kendrick Lamar’s Numbers for ‘Not Like Us’ Diss Track
In a shocking move, Drake accused his label, Universal, and Spotify of artificially inflating numbers for Kendrick Lamar's Drake-dissing 'Not Like Us.'
In a filing Monday in Manhattan court first reported by Billboard, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC accused UMG of launching an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to boost the numbers for Lamar’s viciously personal song, which accuses Drake of pedophilia and amplified the already fiery dispute between the two artists. On information and belief, UMG paid, or approved payments to, Apple Inc. to have its voice-activated digital assistant ‘Siri’ purposely misdirect users to ‘Not Like Us. Reps for Drake, Lamar, Spotify and UMG either declined or did not immediately respond to Variety ’s requests for comment.
