UMG Blasts Drake Appeal in Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’: ‘That Is Not the Law’

The music giant says the rapper's lawsuit over Lamar's incendiary diss track shouldn't be revived by a federal appeals court.

Universal Music Group (UMG) is firing back at Drake’s appeal seeking to revive his lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” arguing the superstar is trying to “critically undermine” the art of hip-hop because he’s upset he lost a rap beef.

Drake’s case accused UMG of defaming him by releasing Lamar’s Grammy-winning diss track, which blasted the rival rapper as a “certified pedophile.” But a judge dismissed it in October by ruling fans wouldn’t think insults in a rap battle were statements of fact.
