Tbh the defamation lawsuit was always something I thought was a possibility in real time, I think Charlagmane was joking about it when it happened. Drake trying to maintain any bit of credibility he has by not also suing Kendrick directly is hilarious though
I would just love if it goes to court and UMG/Kendrick present as evidence all the videos and weird behavior Drake has engaged in to prove they had reasonable reason to believe everything in the song was true.

UMG … could have refused to release or distribute the song or required the offending material to be edited and/or removed,” Drake’s lawyers write. “But UMG chose to do the opposite. UMG designed, financed and then executed a plan to turn ‘Not Like Us’ into a viral mega-hit with the intent of using the spectacle of harm to Drake and his businesses to drive consumer hysteria and, of course, massive revenues. That plan succeeded, likely beyond UMG’s wildest expectations.”

Like the New York filing on Monday, the new petition isn’t quite a lawsuit. Instead, it’s so-called pre-action filing aimed taking depositions from key figures at UMG and iHeart in order to obtain more information that might support Drake’s accusations in a future lawsuit.

In seeking that information, Drake’s lawyers say they already have enough evidence to pursue a “claim for defamation” against UMG, but that they might also tack on claims of civil fraud and racketeering based on what they discover from the depositions
