Real reason Drake is taking legal action over Kendrick Lamar track as he sues Universal Music for illegal tactics


Drake, 38, shocked when he filed legal documents against the label who he accused of using illegal methods to promote Kendrick's smash-hit, in which he is referred to as a 'certified pedophile.'

Drake chose to sue Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's hit diss track, Not Like Us, over fears that his rap rival could perform the song at next year's Super Bowl, DailyMail.com can reveal. 'Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud / Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down / Whatever though, call me crazy, everybody questionable / Turn me to an esk---, I drew the line and decimals,' he raps in the second verse. The First Person Shooter performer, whose full name is Aubrey Drake Graham, claimed UMG made 'covert payments' to many organizations, including radio stations, to play and plug the diss track aimed at him, TMZ reported.
