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

[re'up]

Re filed in Southern District, mentioned that when it was first filed it was off for it to be in state court.

 

[Pseudo]

How did any competent lawyer allow this to get pass them?

This is probably going to change rap beef forever.

Kenny fans gonna ignore this post tho

It's not entirely true because Back To Back was pushed like a single and even submitted to the Grammys.

LMAO NLU really is the most damaging diss track ever

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

It was under UMG on YouTube and was released to DSPs hours laters. They were copyright striking people for recording, smac said he released his reaction and got flagged. He called up Kendrick and them and they fully cleared it for reactions

then idk

I coulda swore everything was directly thru kendrick and not the label during the initial releases of the tracks

I think people posted screenshots of the licensing and allthat stuff in one of the track threads

but then again i could be wrong

Nasty work from these clowns.. They won’t even read the paperwork this nikka is beyond vanilla ice! Maybe the worst person to ever happen to the music industry

And to further prove when money is being spent and when it isn’t… look at how GNX came and went.

The album that’s been out for almost two months and is #4 in the country came and went?

Y’all don’t even believe the bullshyt y’all say

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 is still selling 70k a week, purely off streaming, despite being a 12 track album..we haven't seen this in YEARS. matter of fact, we have never seen this with such a short album. Not to mention its single is still high on the hot 100

It came and is still there and its chart performance is more impressive than anything Drake has released these last 10 years. FATD wasn't even moving these kind of numbers 2 months in, despite having 23 tracks

Yeah it’s crazy because he has some logical stances on some different topics on here but I guess glazing will get you hooked. Damn shame!

Biggest L ever taken in a rap battle

 

[Nuuko]

Is this one also to protect all the smaller artists?

 

[Nuuko]

For a guy with "mob ties" he sure loves looking to the legal system for help.

I just noticed the daughter isnt in the lawsuit. Meet the Grahams isnt mentioned at all actually.
