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

[Rembrandt]

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.

I was asking because smac who's close with Kendrick said he's the reason why YouTubers can react to it by calling Kendrick and telling him to clear it for BoF and everyone..

Just thought that was an interesting thing

He's also accusing Kendrick of being antisemitic

My god man lmao this is so crazy

 

[itiswhatitis]

nikka shut up.

Can’t debate so that’s your only response. It’s ok that you believe in these rappers every word

What were all the lies? Drake having extra kids is the only one I can think of.

All the pedophile and sex trafficking shyt.

The C&D for Like That was a fake email made by a fan from a discord server that Metro was pushing.

The whole sleeping with Wayne's girl while he was in prison was a misinterpretation of Wayne's prison journal where he said he found out his girl had previous history with Drake, while he was in prison. The tattoo that Drake got of Wayne was several years later.

Then you got all the shyt Kendrick was just throwing at the wall and hoping it sticks. Stake Deal being reframed as "gambling addictions". Claiming Drake "lied about his religion" like we ain't always know he was Jewish. Etc etc.

I don't know how you can argue that this is not the most effective diss in Hip-Hop history

Smac got that information from the great vine just like everyone else. He didn’t know until people seen that their reactions weren’t getting copyright struck.

I'm also curious when he says that UMG threatened that if he sues them they would in turn sue Kendrick. That doesn't make sense to me. I'm wondering if they were threatening him that they would countersue him back on behalf of Kendrick on Drake "defaming" Kendrick on Push Ups and Family Matters under the same belief of purposely trying to bring harm to him and hurt his market value. What would UMG have to sue Kendrick on if they were the ones who released it and had a chance to stop it if they believed it not to be true unless they could say that Kendrick assured them he had proof or something.

Ether is definitely #2. It’s not fukkin with Not Like Us in terms of impact on a global scale

Ether was the first diss song to literally become a verb. Its cultural impact can’t be understated.

Not Like Us however really is making Drake’s soul burn slow in real time right before our eyes. This nikka filed a FEDERAL LAWSUIT! A G O D D A M N FEDERAL LAWSUIT!

This is a sonning of all time proportions

 

[Reality Check]

Maybe it's just me, but that line was not referring to his "Jewish Heritage" at all. fukking insane he thinks that based on the entire verse.

Grade A bytch shyt

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.

GNX went platinum
