Charlamagne really thinks Drake should tolerate being called a pedo to support “the culture “
It's a rap battle, Kumar. Not like Drake dropped three "we are the world" tracks.

Let's not ignore the fact that Drake told the world that Kendrick was raped and is fascinated with PDFs because he was assaulted as a boy:unimpressed:

Charlemagne really thinks Kendrick should tolerate being accused of domestic violence against his wife and a product of child molestation to support "the culture".

See how I just spun that 😑?

Also, we're gonna just skip over the cease and desist on the "like that" record or the fact that Drake threatened to sue Kendrick and TDE and PGLang if he dropped anymore records after "Not like us".

Because we all know Dot had more unreleased tracks.

Speaking of which, do you know that in your Indian culture, 40 year old men marry 14 year old virgins? 🤮

You are forgetting that there's two separate lawsuits. The second one is strictly about UMG allowing Kendrick to release a diss song to Drake with 'lies' on it, while neglecting that they let him do the exact same thing. It's like walking up to a man, punching him, he knocks you out and you call the police :mindblown:



I mean conflict of interest would always be a problem when two artists on the same label are beefing. Can Kendrick say the same shyt? That UMG devalued Kendricks brand by allowing damaging lyrics by Drake to him and pushing it. :dahell:


Also, why would UMG want to damage one of their most prized assets? They make money when he does, if he generates less they generate less.
Even if Kendrick won the beef, Drake is still a bigger cash cow and bigger artist. He might have less stans, but more casuals. That is, of course, assuming that Drake actually is profitable. Which I, and his stans, believe he is.
Why assume UMG wouldn’t harm one of thier top artists? Labels don’t always put thier artists first—sometimes it’s about quick profits or contract leverage. The lawsuit says UMG wasn’t neutral and activly amplified the damage to Drake’s brand.

Conflict of intrest is a fair point—beefing artists on the same lable is messy. But if UMG pushed one side harder and undermined the other, it’s not just a rap fued anymore—it’s corporate malpractice.

Hmmm… If UMG did the same for Drake, who knows if anyone would sue. 🤷‍♂️

The bigge issue is whether the label crossed lines with bots, payola, or shady tactics—no matter who it helped.

Drake‘s bombshell legal filings against Universal Music Group appear to have quickly backfired as streams of Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” have surged in recent days.

:russ: :wow:

Kendrick can't stop winning
