I get the angle of them illegally blowing up the song. I don’t think he should file a suit for that either but what evs. Defamation of character is about what was said. So he’s suing because of the bars on the song.
He’s suing because UMG chose to amplify the claims in the song instead of protecting his interests, as they are obligated to do. The lyrics are the lyrics, but literally making a campaign to make money off calling someone a pedophile is wild.

If Drake had a hit record saying “now beat yo wife! Beat yo wife! Now beat yo wife! Beat yo wife!” And Kendrick decided to sue UMG, this thread would look a lot different.

It wasn’t proven to be wrong, it just disappeared

Drake isn’t suing Kendrick for what he said; he’s suing UMG for amplifying it illegally. Kendrick could sue UMG for the same reason but there’s no evidence they amplified Family Matters the same way
Family Matters had 62K views in an hour, Meet the Grahams had 902K views in 34 minutes and it’s a long track.

The tracks were heavily botted to influence public opinion.

If it was reversed it would be called out. The whole industry uses bots but this was an extreme case.

The suit (or pre-suit) isn’t about the content of the song, it’s about UMG illegally amplifying to help ruin the value of his music and career.

Good thing you work for those guys over there at Breh&Breh Associates and not for us over Coliberg and Brehstein. We like to win our cases :mjlol:

Neither of the songs you mentioned are apart of this filing; neither is Kendrick Lamar. This is aimed at UMG. “Drake told Kendrick to take the Epstein angle” would be laughed at by any judge, as it has no basis in what is being alleged.

Also, playing semantics in legal proceedings is an amateurish defense. Everyone knows what the song, video, and artwork are about, so much so there we’re fanatics doxing minors and women all around the country to try and prove something that has no basis in fact.

I’m a founding partner at Coliberg and Brehstein LLP, and moonlight at DaHellwitz Injury Attorneys. Get your facts straight. :ufdup:

You think the defense is unable to present exculpatory evidence or something? :what:

A legal case isn’t solely argued based on the motion you file when exculpatory evidence can be introduced. What kind of judiciary legislations have you been arguing unde? Where you go to school at? You need to be reported to the bar for being neglectful in your duties and substandard level of care and inadequate counselling

The basis of your suit is “defamation” when your client introduced the materials he’s complaining about and without you adequately proving they were even aimed at him in the song is complaining about.

Did you pay Nap to falsely your qualifications? :gucci:
