Drake reignites Kendrick Lamar beef: Label hits back at sensational claims of illegal ‘scheme’ to boost diss track

Hindustan Times  

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s twisted war of words is far from over. The “God’s Plan” crooner's ego was particularly bruised by Lamar’s “Not Like Us” ‘victory lap’ as the viciously personal diss track accused him of pedophilia. Drake files for legal action against UMG and Spotify According to a Monday filing in Manhattan court reported by Billboard, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC accused the music giant of indulging in a ‘pay-for-play’ arrangement to “artificially inflate the popularity” of Kendrick’s song that escalated their lyrical crossfire. As per official documents obtained by Variety, the petition states that the music corp “engaged in conduct designed to artificially inflate the popularity of ‘Not Like Us’… including by licensing the song at drastically reduced rates to Spotify and using ‘bots’ to generate the false impression that the song was more popular than it was in reality.” Without actively alleging other streaming services’ involvement, the filing claims that “UMG appears to have used similar tactics with other streaming services. Lamar’s side of the argument established through songs like “Euphoria,” “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us” particularly accused Drake of engaging in sexual relationships with underage girls.
