NEWS UPDATE :Drake, Kendrick Lamar feud heats up ahead of court trial…….Read more
Drake and UMG will face each other in court for βNot Like Usβ lawsuit
Kendrick Lamarβs diss track, Not Like Us, which refers to Drake as βcertified pedophileβ has taken the musicians to court.
Drakeβs legal defense is planning for a long trial against Universal Music Group according to the latest update filed on Wednesday, April 9th.
The Canadian rapperβs legal team stated that “settlement discussions have not taken placeβ 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 Lamarβs 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 βpedophileβ was censored in the performance, Lamar smiled at the camera as he said, βSay, Drake, I hear you like βem young.β
This comes after Drakeβs legal team hit back at UMGβs response that Lamarβs lyrics were only his opinion, saying, βUMG completely ignores the Complaintβs allegations that millions of people, all over the world, did understand [the song] as a factual assertion that [Drake] is a pedophile.β
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.”
