Drake Initiates Legal Action Against UMG

[FreedMind]

Litigation ain't wavy word to 40 glocc and lord finesse

The Irony of this post coming from a Knicks fan. Half the people in this thread weren't born the last time the Knicks won a chip

Knicks STILL have more titles than Drake's team tho

If theres any evidence that kendrick got EXTRA-non-explicitly-contractual (i.e. non-specified) assistance, that would be a contract violation

Why?
Wouldn’t it make sense to go above and beyond to promote a hit to maximize profits?

Mix this in with how incestuous UMG is with Spotify, then you have a big fukking problem.

What’s the problem?

Now you can argue that rap battles are inherently bad for business above and beyond risks of violence and escalation, but in terms of sheer music, UMG has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders and tanking an internal asset like Drake is literally not only a contract violation but in the business sense, unethical.

A fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of their shareholders, i.e. maximize shareholder value. Seems to me they met that duty by not only promoting one of the biggest hit songs in the past decade, but also simultaneously negotiating a better deal with Drake. Unless you assume UMG was doing this all to lose money?

Let me be clear (to the extent I understand):

• If theres any evidence that kendrick got EXTRA-non-explicitly-contractual (i.e. non-specified) assistance, that would be a contract violation

Who's contract would be violated?

They about to pull out all the dirt he was involved in, not a good sign for rappers who did the same shyt.

I think it's hilarious when "Push Ups" dropped Drake stans were clowning Kendrick for supposedly being taken advantage of by the people above him.

Now those same people are asking us to sympathize with Drake....who is apparently being taken advantage of by the people above him.

FOH.

Heres the thing, if you violate a contract in a way that you overlook because it doesn’t hurt you, then no one will say anything

But…a contract violation is still a violation

What’s the problem?

Whats the issue if General Motors owns gas stations?

Yeah, in the middle of renegotiation efforts with another major act: Tortious interference
