Drake Initiates Legal Action Against UMG

[RennisDeynolds]

Because it’s about Jay z? Forgot it’s the coli. He called around and blackballed gillie for not signing a shytty rocafella deal. He interfered with Nas summer jam performance during the beef. Eminem had to threaten to not do the superbowl to get 50 cent there because Jay wasn’t allowing it. Lol A lot of these dudes are like this.

Only Kendrick does the right thing all the time.

 

[g-ice]

50 is irrelevant musically so nobody cares what he does in the beef. He supported Drake bc Drake got that replica g unit chain made


Plus he loves to be a thorn in Jimmy Iovine and Dre side for fun (#SMSAudio )

Okay, no one is bringing up his music in the conversation.

This is shaping up to be an interesting case. Here’s my takeaway from Drake’s lawsuit against UMG:

Drake claims UMG (through Interscope) used shady tactics to boost Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” while hurting his own reputation and devaluing his catalog. Allegedly, they used bots, pay-to-play deals, and heavy promotion to inflate Kendrick’s success and undercut Drake.

Drake’s team argues this hurt the value of his music and could impact future negotiations. While the filings don’t explicitly mention contracts, it’s clear: if Drake’s worth drops, UMG gains leverage in deals.

At face value, this lawsuit is about alleged corporate malpractice—manipulating metrics and misleading consumers to boost UMG’s profits at the expense of their own artist. If true, it raises serious questions about industry ethics.

Drake is pushing for pre-litigation discovery to back up these claims. Bottom line: This feels more like Drake vs. UMG than Drake vs. hip-hop.

Yeah 50 doesn't even want to make music anymore. He even said on his come up he wanted to dip out early.

Once upon a time all of us was forbidden to read and write.

We stole bibles and dictionaries from Master’s quarters and recited letters and phrases by candlelight.

The North was our haven, fleeing fugitives now freed Men. Bare with me for a second, let me breakdown his sins.

The Yankees started exploiting black brilliance to help make their own pockets richer. Fast forward 2024 and he got the same agenda.

He runs to real geniuses when he needs to tap into true talent. Let me outline the scheme for you, this the real writer challenge.

You called Kia Shine when you wanted bytches shaking ass in the club.

The Weeknd helped you get your lingo and your cadence up.

PartyNextDoor made you feel like a playa in your head

Hush gave you false Crodie cred.

Quentin Miller had you and your woes convinced that for your career that there was more life.

Majid Jordan had you thinking you could croon better than Chris & Omarion but they lied.

You co-opt the pens of real artists when you need to craft a meal out of your pathetic appetizers.

You not a real scribe you a fukking PLAGIARIZER

Lol

Drake still a whore not so fast bucko.

I haven't said shyt about this subject but if you don't get the fukk out of here. You are the most obvious alt in this entire thread. A 2012 account with 200 total posts and every single message you've made this year except for literally the first one you made in January was sucking Drake's dikk. You didn't even post once in 2023. fukking weirdo.

That face switch tho

 

[TheNig]

The world has decided that Drake lost. But Drake fans are still holding out for that one thing that will allow them to say Drake won.

This shyt is over.

 

[BlackMajik]

Plz tell me I didn't see someone say that once Drake falls off that ATL music will go away or some dumb shyt like that

 

[derro13]

Drake is dead, we don't want to hear from him ever again

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I can't possibly fathom centering a future tour around the alter ego of a lil' girl is anything but in moral conflict with filing a defamation suit about lil girls.

 

[Nick Street]

Also, if he's suing for his brand being damaged his writers better watch they back. The trash they wrote for him during the beef was more damaging than anything else named in the lawsuits. He gonna be serving them papers next.
