NEWS UPDATE :Drake, Kendrick Lamar feud heats up ahead of court trial…….Read more
Drake and UMG will face each other in court for โNot Like Usโ lawsuit
Kendrick Lamarโs diss track, Not Like Us, which refers to Drake as โcertified pedophileโ has taken the musicians to court.
Drakeโs legal defense is planning for a long trial against Universal Music Group according to the latest update filed on Wednesday, April 9th.
The Canadian rapperโs legal team stated that “settlement discussions have not taken placeโ in documents obtained by People Magazine.
According to the documents, the trial is estimated to last for at least three weeks, in New York.
This comes after Lamarโs Grammy-winning song, Not Like Us, garnered a lot of attention after he released it in May 2024.
The Luther hitmaker also performed the track in front of a crowd of 127.7 million people in Super Bowl 2025 in February.
While the word โpedophileโ was censored in the performance, Lamar smiled at the camera as he said, โSay, Drake, I hear you like โem young.โ
This comes after Drakeโs legal team hit back at UMGโs response that Lamarโs lyrics were only his opinion, saying, โUMG completely ignores the Complaintโs allegations that millions of people, all over the world, did understand [the song] as a factual assertion that [Drake] is a pedophile.โ
However, UMG claimed that the God’s Plan“lost a rap battle that he provoked” and “sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.”
