I can't possibly fathom centering a future tour around the alter ego of a lil' girl is anything but in moral conflict with filing a defamation suit about lil girls.

Drake's UMG Legal Filings Backfire As Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' Surges In Streams

Make sense. I went back and played NLU a few times myself after finding out about the UMG situation.

Can you just imagine during SB weekend where Kendrick is rapping "I heard you like 'em young" while simultaneously on the other side of the world, Drake is doing a concert acting out as a pubescent girl.

Lord have mercy.

This muh'fukka wants to hop in his own casket, shut the lid on himself and put the nail in from the inside.

 

[Street Knowledge]

Yeah 50 doesn't even want to make music anymore. He even said on his come up he wanted to dip out early.

Nah cause he got humbled when BISD flopped

I haven't said shyt about this subject but if you don't get the fukk out of here. You are the most obvious alt in this entire thread. A 2012 account with 200 total posts and every single message you've made this year except for literally the first one you made in January was sucking Drake's dikk. You didn't even post once in 2023. fukking weirdo.

Glad to know my posting history is being closely analyzed—guess I’m the weirdo now, huh?

But seriously, I don’t post often, as you pointed out, but this was a huge rap battle, and the conversation was hard to avoid. I got curious about what the coli (formerly projectcovo) had to say. Honestly, I didn’t listen to Drake or Kendrick before this—they’re not even on my playlist. Outside of the battle, I don’t know much about their music or them as artists, but I wanted to hear different takes—which is why I came here. And oh boy, this forum definitely leans one way. Sheesh, the bias is real.

This is shaping up to be an interesting case. Here’s my takeaway from Drake’s lawsuit against UMG:

Drake claims UMG (through Interscope) used shady tactics to boost Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” while hurting his own reputation and devaluing his catalog. Allegedly, they used bots, pay-to-play deals, and heavy promotion to inflate Kendrick’s success and undercut Drake.

Drake’s team argues this hurt the value of his music and could impact future negotiations. While the filings don’t explicitly mention contracts, it’s clear: if Drake’s worth drops, UMG gains leverage in deals.

At face value, this lawsuit is about alleged corporate malpractice—manipulating metrics and misleading consumers to boost UMG’s profits at the expense of their own artist. If true, it raises serious questions about industry ethics.

Drake is pushing for pre-litigation discovery to back up these claims. Bottom line: This feels more like Drake vs. UMG than Drake vs. hip-hop.

wtf is this AI written shyt?

It takes 2 clicks to see your posting history. It's not hard.

I got curious about what the coli (formerly projectcovo)

What the fukk is this? This isn't normal. People don't talk like this. You aren't fukking human. Holy shyt. We got literal bots in the thread. Goddamn.

The world has decided that Drake lost. But Drake fans are still holding out for that one thing that will allow them to say Drake won.

This shyt is over.

Did Ak get the call from UMG?

Every clip I see from him is downing Drake now.

AK is smart he knows it's about to get hot for The Boy and he wants no smoke his way. AK may be a pure lame but he is always in the know of things and highly aware.

 

[Rice N Beans]

Ok so drake should let it ride? Or call it out

Drake didn't have any problems letting the legs of other acts get cut for his benefit. As he expected the other acts to just let it ride due to business, he should be turning the other cheek due to business.
