Drake Initiates Legal Action Against UMG

[kwazzy100]

It’s fair to see financial harm as a negative for Drake, but callin it an ‘L’ in the rap battle oversimplifies things. The filings focus on UMG’s alleged shady tactics—not Kendrick. Claiming brand damage doesn’t mean conceding defeat, imo.

Okay, lets say Drake fans are completely right about UMG.
But why NOW you people realized the record industry is filled with slimy rich people? Rappers been telling us for years how toxic the industry is and Music executives can't be trusted.
If Drake completed the 400M contract, can we agree he got really greedy by signing a 600M contract?
Drake really thought he could warp speed his way into being a billionaire.

And that's where the whole lawsuits will fall short.

Because ain't no way to spin that a record label needs to meekly wait for the re-contract season to make the artist a billionaire. Taylor Swift, Beyonce and them kinda got that treatment 'cause frankly their genres/positioning does not put them in course of collision with anyone and because their situations were different. Also Taylor Swift is white (she's now worth 1.2 or 1.6 billion just off of music and music catalog) but even she had to step her foot down against the label over money, and that was after no scandals no nothing. Her fans had to go to bat for her and the label folded.

Rihanna became a billionaire but that was largery due to her stakes in her Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty companies rather than her music catalog.

Drake trying to go the Taylor Swift route was a stretch, he should've gone Rihanna's route a long time ago, parlay that 400 million deal into a robust portfolio that could've taken him to 2.0 billion or more (he's been marketable enough to pull that off until this happened).

He had the entertainment game on lock (fukk a music business), but he couldn't let the Kendrick shyt go.

Edit: Oh and get this, as soon as Taylor swift managed to switch up the game on the lables (to become a billionaire) they shut that door down with the quickness.

No way for him to do what Taylor did without going against Birdman,Weezy and the Prince family

That part!

 

[iseetrolledpeople]

ahh i see so kendrick won't sue over that because he ain't a bytch, it's because drake has the proof.

Said multiple times but I will say it again: Aubrey Groupies behave like abused/cheated women that are in love with a dude. They make up ANY excuse, ignore reality just to clear dude of any wrong doing.

100 gigs and No Face being the "summer vibes" and having no traction doesn't get talked about enough
