Drake Sues Universal Music Group Over ‘Not Like Us’
He claims his own label put “corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists.”
“UMG approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for retribution against him,” reads the lawsuit obtained by Vulture.
