Drake Files Second Action Against UMG, Alleging Defamation Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘False’ Song

The new filing, which claims UMG potentially "funneled payments" to iHeartRadio as part of a "pay-to-play scheme," sheds new light on the blockbuster dispute.

A day after filing an action in New York accusing UMG of illegally boosting Lamar’s track on Spotify, Drake’s company leveled similar claims in Texas court regarding radio giant iHeartRadio.
