Drake is taking his legal fight with Universal Music Group (UMG) to a new level, now citing Kendrick Lamar’s recent wins and major performances as further damage to his name.
In new court documents filed in New York, Drake’s legal team argues that Lamar’s Grammy wins and Super Bowl halftime show gave more exposure to the diss track Not Like Us, which Drake claims defamed him. Both artists are signed under different UMG labels and were locked in a fiery rap battle throughout 2024, with Lamar dominating the charts.
Drake first sued UMG in January, accusing them of backing a “false and harmful narrative” by promoting Lamar’s viral diss, which included heavy accusations like calling Drake a “certified pedophile” and a “predator” who should be monitored in neighborhoods.
UMG responded by asking the court to throw out the case, calling it nothing more than an attempt by Drake to recover from a rap battle loss.
But in the updated filing, Drake’s lawyers say the diss track gained even more attention after Lamar performed at the Grammys and Super Bowl, two massive cultural moments. They claim the exposure didn’t just boost streams of the song — it also increased threats against Drake and his family.
Though Lamar avoided using the word “pedophile” during his Super Bowl performance, the show was watched by over 133 million people, according to the Associated Press, adding even more fuel to the fire.
Popular Nigerian Influencer Papaya Ex stirs up reactions from fans as she shows up in a questionable look to Priscilla’s wedding.
The influencer was spotted in her outfit with a picture of Juma Jux, Priscilla Ojo’s partner pinned to her chest.
Fans reacted and questioned the choice of position for the picture. Many called out the influencer and make up rumors to the influencer being a husband snatcher.
Controversial singer Portable has warned that anyone who defames him will face legal consequences.
The artist, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, made the statement in a viral video. It was made after his recent arrest over a defamation case involving fuji legend Saheed Osupa.
Portable, who was briefly remanded at Oke Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin, made it clear that he now fully understands the weight of defamation charges and won’t hesitate to press charges against anyone who tries to tarnish his name.
“Anyone who talks bad about me will be arrested,” he said. “They’ve done it to me, and I’ll do it to others too. No mercy.” He was later released on bail after Saheed Osupa decided to withdraw the petition.
