Drake is bringing legal action against Universal Music Group as a result of Lamar’s track Not Like Us, a decision the company calls ‘illogical’
The lawsuit, filed in a New York federal court on Wednesday, comes shortly after the Canadian rapper born Aubrey Drake Graham withdrew a legal challenge he made against UMG andof trying to “manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves”.
Later on Wednesday, UMG issued a strong-worded response. “Not only are these claims untrue, but the notion that we would seek to harm the reputation of any artist – let alone Drake – is illogical,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to. “We have invested massively in his music and our employees around the world have worked tirelessly for many years to help him achieve historic commercial and personal financial success.
In New York court documents seen by the Guardian, Drake withdrew that request, with the document reading: “Petitioner hereby voluntarily discontinues this special proceeding as to all respondents without costs to any party.”
