You would imagine Drake and his team would be shrewd enough to understand that you're risking MORE HARM to your public perception by engaging this lawsuit, versus whatever you may gain IF you won this lawsuit - which likely wont change public perception anyways, as you said, because the damage is already done.
And Drake practices some of this same shyt. All of the major label artists do this shyt. So its wildly hypocritical.
Ding, ding, ding.
This is some next level cutting off your nose to spite your face. I can't even fathom why his camp even entertained the thought of running this.
The public is bigger than the loud voices on either extreme. If there's a clear path to victory, even with the clowning it's worth it to push through and then get in his "against all odds" bag

The public have already made up their minds on this.
It's been over.
This move from Drake is essentially him hopping out his own casket, digging up through all the dirt, and then asking for a more humiliating death on some masochist shyt. This is a horribly calculated move which he doesn't stand anything to benefit from -- only loss. Well, that's if he ever hopes to make [rap] music again.
Perhaps he can find his truly calling and do jingles for Bar Mitzvahs.
