Nothing suggests this won’t move to discovery, given factual disputes (UMG denies lobbying the Grammys; Drake implies otherwise). Courts usually favor discovery unless claims are baseless. The only question: will UMG settle to keep the industry secrets or risk it by going to trial.

Which could have significant implications not just for UMG, but also for other labels, the Grammys, and the music industry at large (explaining the coordinated hit job). If Drake’s claims are validated, it could pave the way for increased scrutiny from government regulators.

Hence why UMG is trying to address the defamation claims via this motion to dismiss, which is interesting considering the discovery petition relates to civil fraud and racketeering, not defamation.

You know, I just noticed something.

I've heard no mention of the accusations in the defamation lawsuit about Drake's alleged daughter. I would think that would come up in a defamation case. I wonder if he's afraid that may lead to an actual exposal :patrice:
She does exist, kendrick crew literally said on twitter that if drake kept taking that family route, they would post evidence....drake then waved the white flag

Possibly, but this lawsuit is specifically about "Not Like Us" given it's popularity, and there's no mention of the daughter in that song.

Maybe but it didn't have to be only about NLU. Meet the Grahams is even more inflammatory than NLU.. And it out streamed Family Matters which lends to his argument of UMG propping up Dot being how dark MTG is :russ:

Just saying Meet The Grahams would back up his defamation claims and would be useful. But that third verse could be risky:steviej:

2 things:jbhmm:


Did she translate the Nword?

I don’t speak deaf but there was some aggressive sign in there :mjpls:


And now deaf people looking around asking who’s Baka and why is dude around with his case
She did not do the N word, she skipped over it, but she did indeed ask if baka was around.

This is asl though. American sign language. Which is different. Even deaf have accents I'm learning.

In csl, Canadian sign language she probably signed that about something anti Semitic. So needs a law suit. It's not fair!

Edit. I'm just joking around too. Csl isn't a thing.not trying to make light of the deaf brothers who are lucky enough to never hear ghostwriters, lady gagas, Adele etc lyrics and run. We went from mj to that? Yech

Everyone who’s a defendant tries to dismiss at first to evade a costly and timely trial if they can. It’s no deep conspiracy.
