It’s funny you bring up Jordan. I’ve noticed IRL that the most vocal Jordan, Kobe (before his passing but especially in the 2000s) and Drake haters are dudes close in age to them. That can’t be a coincidence.

WTF.

 

[Premeditated]

stick a fork in him

his rap career is done

if not like us didn't do it?

pulling this sure did

this is why i've never gravitated towards this dude since the beginning despite him making some good songs and i've been seeing him since Degrassi.

at the very core of his essence, he's white identified.

this if the most non hip hop move ever

That's an interesting theory. But honestly I don't know how Kendrick performs the whole song at the Superbowl besides doing some kind of clean version or only part of the song. Middle America ain't gonna go for pedo accusations on one of their biggest family friendly cultural institutions. But Drake is still enough a little ho to pull that even if Kendrick only does the chorus or something.

Eh, it’s the Super Bowl, it’ll be a big ass medley. He can do the chorus and it’ll be cool.

It's his biggest hit song ever.

He might honestly get blackballed off this.

Ja ain’t even go out this bad

If UMG was firing staff that worked for Drake, thats devious.

Shouldn't you be on the streets of Mumbai sexually harassing white women, Deepak?

UMG touted the record-breaking success. On July 16, 2024, Interscope reposted

on X that the Song had become “the best selling rap song of 2024 in the US.” On July 24, 2024,

UMG posted on its X account about the Song charting as the “most-streamed song” of the week.

On August 29, 2024, UMG posted on X with a link to a “Summer Hits 2024 playlist” by Spotify

and the caption “Song of the Summer? UMG fam lands 4 out of 5 on @Spotify. ‘Birds of a

Feather’ - @billieeilish[;] ‘HOT TO GO’ - @ChappellRoan[;] ‘Not Like Us’ -

@KendrickLamar[;] ‘Espresso’ - @SabrinaAnnLynn.”

So if UMG promoted three other UMG songs as charting high on Spotify, wouldn't it be safe to presume UMG extended the alleged practice of artificially boosting streams with those songs as well? Or was it only "Not Like Us"?

Streaming and licensing is a zero-sum game. Every time a song “breaks through,”

it means another artist does not. UMG’s choice to saturate the music market with “Not Like Us”

comes at the expense of its other artists, like Drake. As Drake is Petitioner’s sole owner, and

Petitioner owns the copyright to Drake’s entire catalogue, Petitioner suffered economic harm as a

result of UMG’s scheme.

So UMG is conspiring to keep the young, burgeoning, artist Drake---who, upon discovery if it goes there, has a $400m contract with UMG---from achieving his dreams of economic prosperity.
