True, however slandering someone calling them a pedophile is legal grounds for a lawsuit if we keeping it 500 especially if millions of people hearing it and saying it when it’s not true… take the certified pedophile out of the song and yeah drake gotta let that song rock lol
Drake claimed Kendrick beat his girl, those allegations are just as damaging as the pedo shyt. He needs to stop acting like a bytch.

Non stop Ls for 9 months. I know he wishes he could go back to April 19, 2024. :heh:

shyt, he probably wishes he could go back to August 2013 when he said this about Kendrick after the "Control" verse dropped:

"I know good and well that Kendrick’s not murdering me, at all, in any platform. So when that day presents itself, I guess we can revisit the topic.”

Hella fanned out nikkas in this post picking sides.Objectively speaking he has a case.

Both artists signed to the same label and Universal obviously put gas on Not Like Us. If you know anything about the music business, that means money is being spent. And if he removed a petition to actually sue so his team must feel he has evidence and a case.

To compare apples to apples, it wasn’t that long ago when Back to Back was a thing. Drake and Meek were on entirely different labels and the consensus was that Drake washed Meek. However, Back to Back was not being worked like a single in actual rotation. I’m not talking mixshow or satellite stations where B sides get played.

And to further prove when money is being spent and when it isn’t… look at how GNX came and went.
So would Kendrick be cool to sue Drake since he called him a woman beater and said one of his kids aren't his and could Whitney sue since she was brought up out of nowhere multiple times?

It can't be coo for one side to sue and the other can't, especially when Drake threw dirt first.

Has universal never really whitelisted a song for reactions before NLU?

I do think there's some potentially interesting information on how UMG works behind the scenes especially since he benefitted from it.

More interested in seeing how much stuff can actually be proven
Who knows, but it depends on ur deal. Who knows what Kendrick was able to put in his deal verse other artist... Who knows the splits he has.. Every artist has different terms. It's part of negotiating.. What's common sense if though, the more money you take, the less leverage you have.

Drake is single handedly making the argument for Not Like Us as the most effective diss track of all time.

I ride for Ether because it was so brutal it had Jay stuttering and pouring his heart out on national radio…

But THIS is something unprecedented. Something we’ve never seen in battle rap history…

We might have to actually give up the ghost @spliz and place Ether at number 2. Hurts my heart to say it but there has never been a public asswhopping so humiliating that it caused the losing side to file litigation. This is pure insanity.

This eclipsed Ether a long time ago IMO.

Wait, they are actually referencing youtube comment sections and the user's that made them of people believing Drake is a PDF lol. That man is hurting.

People all over the internet also questioned why Drake had not yet been arrested
and called for the police, the FBI, and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), as well as Child
Protective Services (CPS), to investigate the statements in the Recording. On comments on
UMG’s initial publications of the Defamatory Material to YouTube, users commented:
  •  “The FBI needs to come at this point [laughing emoji];
  • The caged owl. Got me truly believing Kendrick know Drake going
  • to prison possibly;”184
  •  “hey kendrick don't diss drake it's waste of time just call the cops and
  • snitching drake is pedophille so drake go to jail and you can win bye
  • [thumbs up emoji];”185
  •  “Hide your children from Drake;”186
  •  “If what kendrick is saying is true, drake needs to be locked up;” 187
  •  “Drake just need to be locked up;” 188
  •  “Yo Im about to call Child Proctective Services because this is
  • abuse;”189
  •  “Drakes #1 opp is child protected services;”190
  •  “At this point, CIA and FBI need to step in;”191 and
The footnotes has a link to the user's names who made each individual comment.

Kendrick did the exact same shyt crying to the Pac estate about Taylor Made.

It's hilarious how you guys pick and choose.
I was gone respond to you seriously, but see you got that weird ass nikka Top 5 as your profile picture. You're a lost cause.
