This whole "Drake was trying to renegotiate his contract and UMG sabotaged him via Kendrick Lamar" is one of the dumbest takes I've seen in my time on the internet.
Drake could've....gee, I dunno....NOT ENGAGED KENDRICK AT ALL?!
Then what?
I don't know if you cats are stanning so hard your brain turns off, or maybe you're just legitimately dumb completely independent of defending Drake. The only way UMG can take advantage of Drake vs Kendrick, is if Drake drops "Push Ups". Not only drops "Push Ups", literally begs Kendrick to respond to it.
How would this have played out, if Drake ignored "Like That"? How would it have played out, if he just took some time off instead of flooding the market with completely forgettable loosies, Sexy Redd collabos, and "parody" tracks like that Delilah sh*t?
About 20 things had to have fallen into place, for Drake to be in a vulnerable enough spot, for UMG to even be able to "manipulate" streams and damage him.
At what point do you stop blaming UMG, and start looking in the mirror as to how you ended up where you are?
