Drake Blames Super Bowl and Grammys for Boosting Kendrick’s Diss Track
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.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.

Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
