Drake Sues UMG Over Kendrick Lamar Song "Not Like Us"

Drake has filed a second lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging that the label defamed him by funding and releasing Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us.”

The lawsuit claims UMG intentionally sought to damage Drake’s reputation by promoting a song that falsely accuses him of being a “sex offender.” Drake argues that UMG deliberately orchestrated the song’s global popularity to create controversy and inflict both financial and reputational harm. He believes this was a calculated move to capitalize on the conflict between him and Kendrick Lamar.

This is not the first time Drake has taken legal action against UMG. The details of the previous lawsuit are not mentioned in the provided text, but it indicates an ongoing legal battle between the artist and his label.

UMG, which represents both Drake and Kendrick Lamar, has yet to issue a formal response to the allegations. This case raises interesting questions about the responsibilities of record labels when managing conflicts between their artists and the potential implications for freedom of expression in music.
