Drake has launched a second legal action against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s "Not Like Us."
In this move, Drake accuses UMG of defamation and claiming it could have stopped the release of a song "falsely accusing him of being a sex offender."
The filing in Bexar County, Texas, also alleges that UMG was involved in a pay-to-play scheme with iHeartRadio.
This new petition follows an earlier one in New York, where Drake accused UMG and Spotify of illegally inflating the track’s streams through bots and undisclosed payments. Both filings are not lawsuits but are intended to gather information for a potential future lawsuit
In response to the first petition, a UMG spokesperson rejected Drake’s allegations, stating, "The idea that UMG would undermine any of its artists is offensive and false."
