Drake's Label UMG Data Motion to Dismiss His Lawsuit

Drake‘s label says there’s a large gap within the lawsuit he’s filed over Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” … and so they’re mainly saying Drizzy ought to’ve paid nearer consideration to the Tremendous Bowl Halftime Present.

As anticipated, Common Music Group filed a movement to dismiss the defamation lawsuit, and within the docs they level out Drake, or his attorneys, made a significant misstep once they amended their lawsuit following Kendrick’s performance at Super Bowl LIX.

UMG says Drake’s lawsuit isn’t actually about Okay Dot calling him a “licensed pedophile” … as a result of he didn’t even include those words throughout the efficiency. Now, the fact is the Superdome crowd did the harm itself, chanting the lyrics … however that’s not on Kendrick.

The label can be throwing Drake’s personal phrases again at him — reminding him that about 3 years in the past, he signed a public petition criticizing prosecutors for utilizing rap lyrics as proof in felony instances towards artists. UMG says “Drake was proper then and is mistaken now” … as a result of his lawsuit is merely an “try to save lots of face for his unsuccessful rap battle with Lamar.”

UMG’s backside line is … rap lyrics are hyperbole, not literal truth. Simply as Drake rapped about Kendrick’s child being fathered by one other man, known as him a home abuser and threatened to slit his throat with a razor — all lyrics from Drake’s “The Coronary heart Half 6” — it’s exaggeration for the aim of artwork.
