According to an 81-page lawsuit, the Toronto superstar claims he pulled his seven-year-old son, Adonis, out of school due to security concerns. The suit details a series of incidents that allegedly occurred at Drake's home in May 2024,
Drake sued his music distributor, Universal Music, for defamation and harassment over the release and promotion of Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us."
TORONTO — A defamation lawsuit filed by Drake against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” includes new details about a high-profile shooting that seriously injured a security guard outside the Canadian rapper’s Toronto home last year.
What you’ll probably recall, despite their bond, DeRozan recently appeared in the video for Kendrick Lamar’s diss track against Drake, sparking rumors of tension. DeRozan, however, told The Sacramento Bee in July, “Drake’s still my man… it’s music, entertainment… two of the biggest rappers… battled it out… that’s what you want to see as a fan.”
Then on Wednesday, news broke that the Toronto superstar decided to file a straight-up defamation lawsuit against his current and longtime parent record company, Universal Music Group. Drake claims UMG benefited and helped promote a “false and malicious narrative” and chose “corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists.”
Meek Mill took time to reflect on his label issues after his 2015 battle with Drake. On Thursday (Jan. 16), battle rapper Arsonal asked Meek about his opinion on his former adversary suing Universal Music Group for promoting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, citing defamation.
While the Toronto rapper withdrew one of his legal actions against UMG, he made the other an official lawsuit.
Drake and his son Adonis sat courtside during the first half of a game between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors at Scotiabank Arena yesterday in Toronto. The seven-year-old laced into a pair of Nike x Nocta Hot Step 2 sneakers in a "White" colorway.
Get this, Top5, who recently won a legal victory in a high-profile murder case with Drake’s assistance, shared an Instagram video showing himself and the OVO Sound superstar walking to their seats during the Raptors’ 104-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on January 13. The 25-year-old rapper captioned the post: “Me & twin @champagnepapi.”
Cenat then reacted to someone in the chat suggesting that Drake allegedly said UMG “slid” Kai some money. “I ain’t gonna lie, chat. N—as ate that week,” he said as he laughed. “Both ways, n—as ate crazy, gang. I wasn’t even complaining. All my sh–s was monetized.”
