Drake is claiming that by promoting Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” during a Super Bowl Halftime performance, Universal Music Group defamed him.
Drizzy’s legal team filed an amendment claiming that the Compton rapper’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was seen by 133 million people, “including millions of children,” who had “never before heard the song or any of the songs that preceded it. It was the first, and will hopefully be the last, Super Bowl halftime show orchestrated to assassinate the character of another artist.”
He also says that the reason Kendrick Lamar did not rap the word “p*dophile” is because “nearly everyone understands that it is defamatory to falsely brand someone a ‘certified p*dophile.””
Kendrick Lamar won five Grammys for the song -Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rap Song, Best Rap Performance, and Best Music Video
Lamar’s set became the most-watched halftime show in history, surpassing even Michael Jackson’s iconic 1993 performance.
Drake has waged war against his record label.
“Drake’s amended complaint makes an already strong case stronger. UMG’s PR ‘spin’ and failed efforts to avoid discovery cannot suppress the facts and the truth. With discovery now moving forward, Drake will expose the evidence of UMG’s misconduct, and UMG will be held accountable for the consequences of its ill-conceived decisions,” his attorney said in a statement via Variety.
