Drake Files Second Action Against UMG, Alleging Defamation Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘False’ Song
Drake has launched a second legal action against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” accusing the music giant of defamation.
A day after filing an action in New York accusing UMG of illegally boosting Lamar’s track with payments to Spotify, Drake’s company leveled similar claims in Texas court regarding radio giant iHeartRadio. UMG designed, financed and then executed a plan to turn ‘Not Like Us’ into a viral mega-hit with the intent of using the spectacle of harm to Drake and his businesses to drive consumer hysteria and, of course, massive revenues. Like Monday’s bombshell petition, the new filing in Texas is another remarkable escalation in the high-profile beef between the two stars, which saw Drake and Lamar exchange stinging diss tracks over a period of months earlier this year.
