Email needs more context

I’m not sure how another label can stop a song from going to radio unless the label owns the radio station ?
Futures label Freebandz Co wanted to release this to radio. Metro’s label Republic is saying nah yall don’t have rights.

This is two companies arguing over money, but somehow this is now about Drake and people are running with it even though you can clearly read what’s going on.

People believe anything if enough people tell them to. :manny:

This exact same email “leak” screenshot been floating around for a week :mjlol: Metro didn’t reveal shyt but these nikkas hate Drake and want him “eliminated”
You seem to be sad about the last sentence. It is what it is, niqqaz is tired of Drake both artists and fans and you want it to make sense? It doesn't have to, Sorry. lol

What does this say!

Edit lmao Nevermind, I see it now that I quoted you.

Kendrick has called him gay in a few of these disses

I ain't forget about that story of him cucking at a club watching women give blowjobs either


Metro seems to be implying that the real story would hurt both of their image so he's sparing drake and himself

Nah he said the real reason would hurt Drake. He sparing Drake.

They tried to throw their weight around as UMG can because they own a lot of shyt but failed at it.

Ok so

Epic is Futures label

Drake, Metro , Kendrick all apart of the same parent company (not epic)

So email is for some reason trying to stop the Epic part of it essentially killing the record

Like Buser, Larry Kenswil, a retired top business and legal affairs executive for UMG, has no idea what is in the contractual agreement between Republic and Epic for “Like That.” (A rep for Sony, Epic’s parent company, also did not respond to a request for comment.) But he’s certain that Republic has no right to demand a radio takedown. If Lamar’s “euphoria” lyric about a cease-and-desist is true, Kenswil says, “The artist [Drake] complained to the label [Republic] and the label felt like they had to do something to satisfy the artist. But, of course, we probably don’t have the full story.”


He adds: “That happens all the time. Artists tell their lawyers: ‘Send a cease-and-desist.’ The lawyer says, ‘Uh, I don’t think they’re doing anything wrong.’ ‘Send a cease-and-desist or I’ll fire you.’ And they send the cease-and-desist — and don’t follow up.'” Evidence on behalf of Kenswil’s theory: “Like That” not only came out, but radio played the track, it debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and remained there for three weeks. And as of this writing, “Like That” is No. 21 on the all-genre Radio Songs chart.

Metro finally gaining the confidence to talk his shyt after a series of diss songs from Kendrick is hilarious :heh:

We all knew some sneak dissing p*ssy back in school who was too scared of 1 on 1 confrontation so he would team up with other haters and pop his shyt from behind them

We do know who it’s from. It originated on discord with the names revealed.
So someone who is in the industry leaked it huh lol. Is Metro one of the people who it was sent to or that is CC'd in the OG image?
