Drake Withdraws Legal Action Accusing UMG and Spotify Of Boosting Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us’


Drake has withdrawn a legal action accusing Universal Music Group and Spotify of artificially inflating Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us."

Drake has dropped his legal action accusing Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify of artificially inflating the popularity of Kendrick Lamar ’s diss track “Not Like Us,” less than two months after he first filed it. The action, filed in November, accused UMG and Spotify of an illegal “scheme” involving bots, payola and other methods to pump up Lamar’s song — a track that savagely attacked Drake amid an ongoing feud between the two stars. But in a stinging response last month, Spotify called the allegations “false” and flatly denied that it struck any deal with UMG to support Lamar’s song.
