Drake keeps fighting Universal Music Group through legal channels about the song "Not Like Us." At the same time, Kanye West tries to start trouble with him and many other music stars. Drake recently put out a new album called "ome $exy $ongs 4 U" but seems more worried about older music problems. UMG asked courts to throw out his defamation lawsuit about the Kendrick Lamar song that attacked him. His lawyers quickly answered back, pushing harder on their claims that the company tried to avoid responsibility.
Drake's attorney, Michael Gottlieb, wrote in court papers that they know about illegal money paid to outside groups promoting the West Coast song. His legal team says UMG did sneaky things like secretly paying a popular podcast, bribing radio stations, and giving Spotify special low rates. They argue that even though they stopped making similar claims against iHeartMedia, the rest of their case remains strong against Universal Music Group.
During this legal battle, Kanye West went on an angry rant targeting Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, and others. This has nothing directly to do with the UMG lawsuit - Kanye himself seems confused about whether he likes or hates Drake. These music industry fights happen both in courtrooms and between people personally, with personal conflicts often causing deeper pain for those involved.
The year-long battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar proves this point. Many people doubt Drake's lawsuit will succeed, but others hope it wins. Either way, this case might create important new rules. The court decision could change how we view rap battles specifically and music business practices as a whole going forward. What happens here might reshape music industry standards for everyone.
