Drake’s Label Files to Dismiss Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us,’ Says Rapper ‘Lost a Rap Battle He Provoked’
Universal Music Group has filed a motion to dismiss Drake's lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us,' claiming he lost the beef.
Universal Music Group has filed a scathing motion to dismiss Drake ‘s New York lawsuit against them for promoting Kendrick Lamar ‘s “Not Like Us,” stating that he’s only suing because he “lost a rap battle” and took legal action to “salve his wounds.” In its motion to dismiss, Universal is arguing that Drake fails to make a claim for defamation in his suit, stating that it’s a double standard to expect them to promote his diss tracks against Lamar and not vice versa. 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.”
