Drake is reportedly demanding to see Kendrick Lamar‘s record contract amid his legal battle with Universal Music Group – which has the label asking a federal judge to halt all discovery.
According to documents obtained by Billboard, UMG is arguing that Drizzy is unfairly demanding “highly commercially sensitive documents” and should be stopped. In addition, they also allege he is demanding “executive compensation details, specifically the annual incentive plans for John Janick, CEO of Interscope Records.”
In response to UMG’s request to halt discovery, Drake’s attorney Michael Gottlieb told Billboard in a statement: “It is unsurprising that UMG is desperate to avoid discovery. This motion is a ploy to delay producing documents and communications that UMG hopes to keep hidden and buried. If UMG has nothing to hide, it should not have an issue with discovery.”
A judge has yet to rule.
Earlier this week, UMG also filed a request to dismiss Drake’s lawsuit with prejudice.
“Plaintiff, one of the most successful rap artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated,” lawyers for the label wrote. “Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds. Plaintiff’s complaint is utterly without merit and should be dismissed with prejudice.”
Gottlieb also responded to this, with similar sentiments as his above statement.
“UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence,” he wrote. “This motion is a desperate ploy by UMG to avoid accountability, but we have every confidence that this case will proceed and continue to uncover UMG’s long history of endangering and abusing its artists.”
Judge Jeanette Vargas previously ruled that a pre-trial hearing scheduled for April 2, which UMG had tried to delay, will take place. In addition, discovery in the case — where the parties exchange information — will begin, despite the corporation claiming that starting the process at this point was “premature” given the state of the case.
Drake has to take them all down Kendrick, Roc Nation, UMG, SME, and WMG take them all down. Has to sue them into oblivion.
💩
@Scooz aka Ovo Drake should sue you into oblivion for being in his ass 24/7
F8ggot
It’s funny that a lame like Drake is probably finally going to put these money laundering companies known as record labels feet to the fire. Lots of fuck shit going on that might come out in this. They probably better settle. That or make Drake have an accident. They’re good at that and getting the public to swallow it when it happens. Kanye crazy, but he ain’t been lying about these record labels.
Drake ain’t doing shit stupid. You can’t bitch about money laundering when YOU signed the contract. If your goofy ass didn’t read it or hire a lawyer to explain/debate it because fame and fortune was your priority, that’s your own fault. Even IF UMG gave Kendrick a better contract, they don’t have to release that info. Just like your boss doesn’t have to show you whether or not the cashier next to you at McDonald’s is getting paid a dollar more than you. If this case doesn’t get thrown out, it’s 100% guaranteed he will lose and regardless, he will forever be known as the first hip hop Karen and that will do just as much damage, if not more than Pusha T and Kendrick ever did.
What in the hell are you talking about cornball fan boy? I’m talking about the fuck shit record labels do in general. You went into some dumb shit nobody was talking about because you’re a fan of these lame ass rappers. I’m talking about the music industry and the shit they do that’s just straight up criminal activity.
I’ll do your job for you, Yella Beezy arrested on capital murder charges in connection to Mo3’s murder. HIRE ME.

Ye was right thes people virtue signal and lie all the time they went after Diddy and Chris Brown even XXX but they do nothing when it’s JayZ, Dre, Kendrick, Carti look how they strug up Tory. Then on the other side too Ezra Miller is somehow a free man same with John Landis that whole group is guilty. The industry is all scum it would be better to just claim it and not virtue signal but they’d rather do this. The women are awful too they cover it but promote victimhood.
