‘Unprecedented’: Drake Appeals Dismissal of Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’

The star's attorneys say the "dangerous" ruling ignored the reality that the song caused millions of people to really think Drake was a pedophile.

Drake has filed his appeal after his lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” was dismissed, arguing that the judge issued a “dangerous” ruling that rap can never be defamatory.

Drake’s case, filed last year, claimed that UMG defamed him by releasing Lamar’s chart-topping diss track, which tarred his arch-rival as a “certified pedophile.” But a federal judge ruled in October that fans wouldn’t think that insults during a rap beef were actual factual statements.
