It's possible lawyers tried to gas him up into thinking he has a case. Either way his lawyers getting paid.

However if there is something here and he has UMG dead to rights... fukk looking corny. He can legitimately claim the industry illegally conspired to get him out the paint.

All the industry politics in the world don't have impact on our ears. Kendrick (who I am a known hater for) had a better strategy and made better diss records. He won the battle on wax, end of discussion. He didn't lose because NLU had more streams. This shyt is just sad:snoop:

The industry been tryna take down Wayne Drake and Nicki. Yall just never believed them when they said it.


HOW?!?!

Nicki is one of the biggest selling artists of this era DESPITE marrying a RAPIST and starting unnecessary beefs with female rappers who don’t kiss her ass.

Lil Wayne is one of the biggest selling artists even now. Despite being a drugged up gremlin with more children than locs in his head if he were to drop Tha Carter 6 right now its selling at least 300k first week and going platinum. He’s got endorsements with Uber Eats, Samsung and a bunch of other companies.

Drake is Drake. I don’t need to run down his resume. Even now with his recent songs flopping left and right he’s still about to go on an arena tour across Australia. That half a nikka had Hollywood actresses and directors backing him in the battle until Kendrick unleashed holy Hell on him.

The “industry” ain’t taking down these people just like the “industry” didn’t take down Puff. Their own actions got them where they are.

Either people are OK with it and want it called out or they’re mad Drake is the one calling it out.

make up your minds.
It’s not a good look for Drake he’s not bigger than the machine and his PR is in the dumps.

The industry bots. Some of these falls offs of artists like DaBaby are not natural. What’s the end game? :patrice:

If he's really trying to get out of his contract....:russ:

He as stupid as these new signees we clown...cause with all those resources out there he should have known his contract is bullshyt...so why he sign?
Drakes contract probably isn’t shyt he just probably close to finishing it and wanted more money . Labels don’t want artists paying them back . As well as the dsp are about to negotiate with labels again . You think umg could risk his music leaving

Specific to THIS issue, IF (and it's a huge fukking if, he needs to have them dead to rights, a settlement will NOT cut it) he wins this case, it's officially part of the story of the saga. It can't not be.
It would settle either way because if he had them dead to rights they wouldn’t take it to trial. He would ask for some declaratory statement and there’s no way they would admit to that and possibly lead to some other criminal charge that a creative prosecutor could come up with in NY (not that they would either Trump in office).

Just say you hate drake and keep it moving. if this was Taylor Swift ya’ll would be in her lap.
you obsessively jumping out the window without any facts.

shut up. No one gives a fukk about Taylor Swift, motherfukker, I'm from the Bay. I've literally never heard a Taylor song in the 2020s. Not one.

I don't hate Drake. I find it hilarious that the man is willing to burn down the label he was running around with the owner of acting like he's some boss. If it invokes a RICO, he... WOULD ALSO BE PART OF THE PROCEEDINGS.

The man is literally about to indict himself trying to indict someone else of... *checks notes* doing the same shyt he does, but apparently in a different way that Aubrey disagrees with?

They all work for the same fukking label. Cole too. All three of them. They start opening this can of worms and an argument can eventually be made that the whole beef was engineered for the sole enrichment of UMG.

He's throwing a babybytchfit and there's a possibility his tantrum could collapse the largest entity in the music business.
Because someone called him a name.

Drake ain't part of the culture. nikkas in the hood getting robbed and shot at - don't call the cops. He got outrapped and called the Feds.

stop trying to defend this.

This level of unraveling is actually jaw dropping. Zero chance this was initiated based on serious legal advice and I’d bet his lawyers tried to advise him against this.

Zero chance this gets anywhere and pretty obvious it’s another attempt to change the narrative. It’s over.
