UMG Defends Kendrick: Drake's Beef in Court

0:00On April 1st, Universal Music Group just hit back hard at Drake's appeal to bring back his defamation lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar's track, Not Like Us. They're saying it would mess up hip-hop's whole vibe if courts start treating battle-rav lyrics like straight facts. The original suit got tossed in October of 2025 because a judge called Kendrick's pedophile line, Just An Opinion, Not Something, Provable. UMG points out Drake through wild accusations at Kendrick first, like claims about his family, so he can't cry foul now when the shots come back. Appeals court hears arguments in the coming months, with a decision likely next year, keeping this beef alive in the legal ring.
