Drake Initiates Legal Action Against UMG...files defamation suit against UMG over being a pedophile. Universal responds

[Kings County]

Drake going to win this lawsuit. UMG will probably settle out of court because it’s too much proof they violated laws and breached his contract. Drake will get out of his last album as part of the settlement, along with an undisclosed amount of money and then release on his own label maybe in a paternship with another group.

That next album going to break records as even his closet haters who are really fans will buy it to hear what he’s rapping about.

i think at the end of this he gets a percentage of nlu
they not gonna take this to court and expose their underhanded practices

If UMG did drake dirty why wouldn't he sue, if it wasn't drake yall wouldn't be protecting a corporation.

 

[up in here]

Again, there is what Drake did and what he is accusing the label of doing this time around. It’s one thing if it’s just a square to square rap battle. It’s a different thing when you are accusing your label of supporting your musical opposition in getting the upper hand over you. Thats why I’m pushing hard on this. We can say over and over again that Drake had the machine behind him with the other battles and he can’t cry now. It’s different when the machine is on your side right? The bigger question I’ve been trying to drill is why the machine turned on him when he needed it most? This is underlying factor of the lawsuit. It’s a question no one has been able to answer outside of saying Drake got his feelings hurt from battling with Dot. It’s too reductive and fails to look at the music business for what it is which is a business first. So why would UMG take an artist that’s been bringing them hundred of millions and have it pissed away in one weekend from a rap battle. As a company your job is to protect your investment. This did not happen and imo people need to question why

At this point it's still speculation though.

Drake doesn't have evidence that this actually happened. All he has is suspicion. he is asking for a judge to force UMG to provide him with the evidence.

The idea they suppressed Drake and made searches for his songs instead lead to NLU has already been disproven. The person they were citing already showed that to be untrue.

There isn't any actual evidence to say they gave more support to Kendrick than they did Drake.

UMG make money off both Drake and Kendrick. They may have very well botted both artist to make the battle bigger than it was.

But if they did pull back some of their usual support for Drake due to him trying to renegotiate his deal, are we supposed to feel sorry for him? Is he automatically entitled to the machine? Were they supposed to do more to help him win?

Did they also force Camilla Cabello flop in spite of Drake? If they were really against Drake why did they let that shyt go forward? Why not just block the features?

I think all of these questions is valid. This forum could be a great place for musical discussions if you had posters talking back and forth to ask the correct questions and get better answers.

There is a reason these guys were dropping songs on YouTube and IG first opposed to the DSPs. Even watch the party die is not on the DSP unless you look hard.

I suspect foul play because I harped on the numbers because something has always been off with them throughout the beef. If people don’t want to believe that fine. What I have an issue is this narrative that Dot came out of nowhere and beat Drake fair and square in a 1:1 when there needed to be more things to go right for Dot when he decided to be vocal than any other time. I’m an avid believer that corporate politics and these labels facing economic strife that is behind this beef at this current time and it’s curious to me how us hip hop fans get played time and time again using the same old tactics.

I’ll leave it at that. I’ll come back when further news breaks validating some of my points. If not, I’ll gladly come back and admit where I was wrong. See yall at the finish line.

I wonder if this is why UMG told Aubrey to sue Kendrick. When Kendrick first uploaded Not Like Us It was listed under Kendrick Lamar meaning Kendrick is the one who had the record pushed through the Discovery Mode. For the first month or whatever, NLU was effectively an independent release. It wasn't until later that he gave the record to Interscope. That's why youtubers started getting copyright strikes.

Imagine being this much of a complete p*ssy.

Imagine having all this money, access to vast and incredible places to travel, places eat, experiences that only a small group of humans on this earth can have, and being this fukking lame.

Elon Musk had the same kind of tantrums when everyone realized he is a dumb ass herb that seeks validation and praise.

Who raised these nikkas?????

 

[Left.A1]

Same thing with most of the claims that he’s making in this bullshyt ass crybaby case, most of this shyt is regular music business shyt that ain’t in violation of any contract but the bytch inside of that whiteboy has him doing this nonsense ….i mean he literally breaks this news the weekend Kendrick’s album drops ….its not even a lawsuit because he knows he has no standing …it’s a fukking petition for info ….its charades…. But he’s so got damn dumb and in his feelings ..that he likely didn’t calculate the negative reception this hoe ass shyt would receive….just an all around clown nikka …dumb sumofabytch try to get the people to believe that he suing “like he tryna get the slaves free”

 

[iliketurtles]

You’re literally proving my point. There is coordination and his music has to get approval. Just because he’s independent doesnt mean he can do whatever he wants when he wants. It’s why being independent is so costly because the labels have resources that they leverage that would be too expensive to cover out of pocket for any artists.

In terms of UMG stopping Dot from releasing NLU, my point is they didn’t even try. In fact, from the petition, they are being accused of helping the other side by lowering the licensing fee. I quote “ UMG charged Spotify a licensing fee 30% less than usual for "Not Like Us." You have the label teaming up with the DSPs to potentially help another artist beat your main artist.

Where is my questioning wrong here?

They don't know the technicalities obviously even budden admit it was botted hard. All these kbots would done the same as drake

White people not respecting it either tho
