Drake’s Label UMG Files Motion to Dismiss His Lawsuit

Drake‘s label says there is a big gap within the lawsuit he is filed over Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” … and so they’re mainly saying Drizzy ought to’ve paid nearer consideration to the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

As anticipated, Universal Music Group filed a movement to dismiss the defamation lawsuit, and within the docs they level out Drake, or his legal professionals, made a significant misstep after they amended their lawsuit following Kendrick’s efficiency at Super Bowl LIX.

UMG says Drake’s lawsuit is not actually about Okay Dot calling him a “licensed pedophile” … as a result of he did not even embrace these phrases in the course of the efficiency. Now, the fact is the Superdome crowd did the injury itself, chanting the lyrics … however that is not on Kendrick.

The label can also be throwing Drake’s personal phrases again at him — reminding him that about 3 years in the past, he signed a public petition criticizing prosecutors for utilizing rap lyrics as proof in prison circumstances towards artists. UMG says “Drake was proper then and is improper now” … as a result of his lawsuit is merely an “try to avoid wasting face for his unsuccessful rap battle with Lamar.”

UMG’s backside line is … rap lyrics are hyperbole, not literal reality. Just as Drake rapped about Kendrick’s child being fathered by one other man, known as him a home abuser and threatened to slit his throat with a razor — all lyrics from Drake’s “The Heart Part 6” — it is exaggeration for the aim of artwork.
