Drake Initiates Legal Action Against UMG

[Westbama Heartthrob]

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

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

Have some dignity

A bytch nikka loves bytch nikkas, they exist with 'em in style

 

[dangerranger]

Or you are a troll and that post was a word salad as the cool kids say

We gonna talk or you just going to say I’m trolling because you have nothing to add

 

[Your Welcome]

Yea I thought this would be unanimous. I thought regardless of who we had winning we ALL could agree this is unacceptable

Family Matters>>>>>>NLU

But Drake is forever a sucka for this. I imagine this gets settled out of court but imagine if it doesn’t. Are they gonna be in court listening to NLU to determine if it meets the criteria. I hope the judge is a hip head and tosses this shyt out of spite .

*reguardless

Kendrick should at NLU to the album just for an extra f you, since he pulled this bytch move.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

My mom called me this morning and told me she played NLU the whole drive to work.

Throughout this beef, there's been alot of dusty NY nikkas using Drake as a proxy to shade the west and gaslight audiences like we not seeing the obvious azz whoopin K.Dot put on him and Drake Cheddar Bob'n whats left of his career.

This has been pretty fascinating to watch.

I really didn't know dudes out east still feel some type of way about that whole east coast vs West Coast shyt.

Seen a lotta NY cats literally dying to give it to Drake until NLU came out and they couldn't anymore.

 

[shopthatwrecks]

that fact he threatened to sued degrassi for puttin his character in a wheelchair...

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.

Aye, why you think nobody dapped your post?

Do you think it's weird? Do you feel "Bots" are in here dapping others posts and NOT yours ?

The crazy thing, i mean the truly insane part is that he allowed the song to become a multiple week number 1 SMASH hit that Kendrick performed in front of thousands of people who knew the song WORD FOR WORD and he files for defamation MONTHS later after his reputation already took an irreversible hit.

Like lets say he miraculously wins this lawsuit and UMG did indeed pay for bots and it all comes out. NOTHING is going erase that Pop Out concert. NOTHING is going to erase that music video. NOTHING is going to erase the L. This had better be a last minute hail mary move to stop Kendrick from performing Not Like Us at the Super Bowl and even then its a bytch move but still understandable. Its like when Jay had Hot 97 bar Nas from performing Ether at Summer Jam and hanging that Jay lookalike Robot and setting it on fire. That was a bytch move too but understandable.

Other than that I don’t see the endgame here.

I was thinking this. Hov is the GOAT for me but he moved really really bad after Ether.

The biggest difference between him and Drake is I don't think Drake will not be able to come back to hip hop, win or lose.

He'll still be able to make music, but rap-wise, I think he's done. And as a Kenny fan, I'm one of those people that kept saying he lost the battle but he's still Drake and wouldn't be effected.

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. 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. 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.

I would just like to point out that not even the old jew suid Ice Cube over No Vaseline where he called 5 different men fakkits in the 90s.

Thats how much of a bytch Drake is, also good luck to him at discovery if this goes to court

if he just took the L like a normal person, he wouldn't have been affected all that much. people would've moved on

but drake being drake...and here we are

He called mom!

Just like Family Matters was cleared.
