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

[Big Boss]

Pressure depositions is insane. Some lawyer taking this kid’s money. I’ve never seen that granted - I think his lawyers just fished for every state that had some sort of pre-pleading discovery procedure and are hoping it will stick somewhere because otherwise they don’t have any evidence to go off of.

It reads like I thought it would just on those early pages and it’s what the NY State dismissal would’ve read like as well. Basically, you only get pre-complaint discovery if you can prove that you have a strong case and you only need to ascertain some people. In other words, you prove that you have a smoking gun for each element of the claim.

It starts off heavy in procedural law and background but they’re basically requesting a dismissal of it under a Texas law that allows for expedited dismissal of any action or filing that is intended to limit free speech. They’re arguing that music is free speech and that by putting it out, they were communicating as understood by the court and it is protected. They’re not wrong. They also point out that you can’t just rely on your complaint as proof - you need more direct evidence and that Drake had provided none - that’s also true. There’s no affidavit or any hard proof. It’s all hearsay.

They also point out that how is it that he needs pre-complaint depositions here in order to proceed when you just filed an analogous suit in New York federal court? I didn’t read it all and I’m not Texas lawyer but if their presentation of the law is correct - his motion is about to get denied and theirs will be granted. He’s just trying to apply pressure through lawsuits and they’re not budging. They even say in the intro that he took an L and he’s trying to use all these suits to get them to take down Not Like Us because he’s mad that he lost.

What would “taking down” Not Like Us even accomplish at this point? The song is literally less than two weeks away from winning several Grammys and three weeks away from being performed at the Superbowl. The song won’t be unavailable for the millions of people who’ve purchased it on iTunes/Amazon Music/Google Music.

At this point there’s literally NOTHING that can be done to lessen, dampen, or eliminate the impact of that song. Its the Ether of the new generation. It’ll live on forever.


Drake needs to drop this frivolous lawsuit. Go on his Australian tour. Find a woman of PROPER age to be with and just take a sabbatical for a year or two.
