Níggas in this thread acting like Drake is just, "suing because he got his feeling heart" like that man being called a pedophile EXPLICITLY for the duration of a summer isn't grounds for murking someone:mjlol:. I'm a fairly rational kat myself, but if a man called me a pedo, I'm snapping and taking the nígga off the map:russ:. Just the allegations of that shít can bury you.

Kendrick obviously won the battle, but let's not sit here and act like a rapper being called a pedophile in a diss isn't unprecedented.

Diddy slapped him and he did nothing

T.i homeboy peed on him and he did nothing

Stop comparing him to dudes who actually don’t tolerate disrespect :mjlol:

We went from “a cease and desist is for hoes” to a defamation lawsuit

Have some dignity :mjlol:

Drake going to win this lawsuit. UMG will probably settle out of court because it’s too much proof they violated laws and breached his contract. Drake will get out of his last album as part of the settlement, along with an undisclosed amount of money and then release on his own label maybe in a paternship with another group.

That next album going to break records as even his closet haters who are really fans will buy it to hear what he’s rapping about.

This generation is so illiterate...it's not a lawsuit, its a petition. One UMG is not required to respond to unless forced by a judge, which is doubtful that a judge will make them do so. Its not likely this will ever make it to court.

Smh people can’t see the forest from the trees. It’s pretty simple. No artist gets to just put their songs on DSPs without approval. Which is why the question should have been on May 4th who from the label gave the green light to put out NLU. It’s not simply about it being a rap battle. Despite these guys being artist, they are a brand, they are a business. The fallout from damaging Drake’s brand has had the intended ripple effect as seen. Someone at the label or DSP had to have known what Kendrick was going to say on NLU and gave the approval. No matter what anyone says Drake is a money maker for multiple groups, so to allow a song that called him a pedo to be blasted around the whole world is telling. We all know FM a 7 minute song was not going to go viral and be played on the radio. NLU was made to be a hit and pushed as such despite the implications in the song. This never was just a rap battle. I can’t understand why people can’t wrap their head around this. I can’t even understand how most people don’t even realize how the masses have been galvanized to hate ‘Drake’ as an artist not the person, in 8 months. These blogs and podcasters all repeating the same talking points which get picked up and repeated by tik tokers. No one questions the bizarreness of all of this.
this is wrong. Kendrick licenses his music to interscope, he’s no longer signed as an artist, meaning he has full creative control to do whatever he wants with his music. Why would Interscope not put his music on DSPs?

This is absolute fan fiction. The sad thing about a post this pathetic is it'll just float under the radar and someone will have a normal conversation with you in another thread.

When you post deranged delusional fangirl shyt like this it should be in your signature.

bruh I’m just trying to have a well rounded conversation with the people that’s interested. I write a lot because I try to bring a lot of context and nuance to situation at hand. I can’t help it if people in these threads go off erroneous information and inaccurate opinions.


I brought many of my points up since the beef started and indicated the oddness since March. Interesting to see the same things I was questioning is becoming more relevant as time passes.
Or you are a troll and that post was a word salad as the cool kids say

Interscope is under UMG. You guys with this magical narrative that an artist is independent and can do whatever they want clearly don’t understand the music business. This is all tied together. That’s what the lawsuit is about
