Drake takes legal action over Kendrick Lamar feud, accusing Universal Music of streaming fraud and defamation over ‘Not Like Us’
Drake, the highest-grossing rapper in the world last year, and Lamar, a Pulitzer Prize winner, have long been locked in an escalating war of words in a music genre known for celebrating and obsessing over rivalries between its biggest stars. But in the first of two court filings this week, Drake on Monday accused Universal Music Group , which distributed the song, of charging Spotify unusually low prices to license the track, in return for the streamer widely recommending the track to its subscribers.
In a second petition yesterday, filed in Texas and first reported by music site Billboard, Drake claimed UMG was aware that the song contained “offending material,” but distributed it anyway, without insisting on any changes or edits to its lyrics.into a viral mega-hit with the intent of using the spectacle of harm to Drake and his businesses to drive consumer hysteria and, of course, massive revenues,” the petition said.
