Drake’s Label Files to Dismiss Amended Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’: His ‘New Allegations Are Astonishing’

Drake’s label, Universal Music Group (UMG), has refiled its motion to dismiss Drake’s amended defamation lawsuit, citing newly alleged facts about UMG’s handling of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” UMG maintains that Drake’s claims are based on unreliable anonymous comments and false accusations. Meanwhile, discovery in the case continues, though a judge allowed Drake access to documents like Lamar’s contracts. The case hinges on whether UMG’s promotion of “Not Like Us” was intentional and if Drake’s claims about Lamar’s commercial success are credible or mere hyperbole.
