Drake filed a federal lawsuit against the Universal Music Group (UMG) and accused them of promoting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not like Us” hence putting his life and reputation at risk. The suit, brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, accuses Universal of having “approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track.” According to Drake, the diss track was “intended to convey the specific, unmistakable, and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal pedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response.”
