Drake has dropped a second legal filing about “Not Like Us,” this one adding iHeartRadio to his list of alleged offenders — and bringing up the specter of suing for defamation over the Kendrick Lamar diss track.
On Tuesday (November 26), Billboard reported that Drizzy had added a second so-called “pre-action” petition — a request to a court for specific information before a lawsuit is filed — to the one that became public the previous day. Unlike the first one, which was filed in New York, this one was filed in Texas.
Specifically, per the outlet, the new petition names iHeartRadio as the recipient of payola from Universal Music Group as part of an alleged illegal plan to get “Not Like Us” on the airwaves.
In addition, Drizzy claims that UMG released K.Dot’s now-Grammy-nominated song despite knowing that the track “falsely accus[es] him of being a sex offender.” The petition says that the Canadian superstar now has enough evidence to bring a defamation claim against the company.
The earlier petition, filed in a Manhattan court on Monday (November 25), alleges that UMG used bots, payola and other methods to inflate Kendrick’s chart-topping song.
“UMG did not rely on chance, or even ordinary business practices,” the docs read. “It instead launched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves.”
The filing also alleges that the label paid Spotify to promote “Not Like Us” to users searching for unrelated songs and artists. Additionally, it claims UMG paid Apple to have Siri intentionally redirect users requesting songs from Drake’s catalog, instead offering “Not Like Us” as a result. It also claims the company used bots to burnish the song’s numbers.
Drake asked the court to order UMG and Spotify to gather all relevant documents ahead of a pending lawsuit.
According to The Independent,, UMG has so far “refused to engage” over the issue – telling Drake to sue Kendrick instead.
UMG responded to Variety.
“The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue,” a rep for the company told the publication. “We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns. No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”
So he’s crying about searches being redirected to Not Like Us but conveniently forgot that he tried to jack The Heart? This is too ridiculous. And bringing legal proceedings over a diss track? Yeah, Drake’s hip hop credibility truly is non-existant at this. Hilarious that Kendrick releasing an album spun him out this hard.
whatever pedo 🤮I heard you like the dogs too🤔🐩. pretty much anything under 7 and moving is fair game for you huh🤣
sorry I didn’t mean it I’m crashing out rn. I just dickride drake because I grew up without a strong male figure around and now need validation from a man that doesn’t know I exist
@gay gregg.. Nobody takes you seriously. You’re a troll that posts groupie comments on a niche hip hop site for attention that you never had from your parents and making multiple accounts so you can upvote your own comments. Your existence is too pathetic for words. You need to leave the basement and get a job you loser.
Sorry, WTF is a diss track supposed to be?
Drake is j3w!$h so this is expected
are you fucking stupid? where does it say it’s ok to slander someone in public “as long as it’s on a so called diss track” – skepta already said he had lost huge deals in UK after these records came out. Unfortunately if you have to get shot in the face to understand what slander means – so be it. No one remains a kid forever. You have to grow up sometime and some of you are going to check out real early💯
A simple disagreement that shouldn’t expose someone on wax and make someone feel uncomfortable, I guess. Rap has become KidzBop. SMH
I was getting ahead of myself calling you stupid but I guess you’re just a dirty pedo who fucks kids – sorry my bad. we good
How are you not dead yet? You’ve had AIDs forever now. Guess you on that Magic Johnson treatment plan. How much Drake dick is enough for you?
You’re a bigger bitch than he is. Is it that time of the month for you? Go take some Midool for those bitchstral cramps.
whatever pedo – all you benderick fans are man-boy lovers ok pedo? it’s our little joke we like to say nothing for you to get butt hurt over 🤣
I HATE NOT HAVING FAT DICK IN MY MOUTH AND ASS. DRAKE NEVER LOSES. I SWALLOW HIS KIDS EVERY NIGHT. YOU CAN’T POST NEGATIVE STUFF ABOUT DRAKE EVER. HE’S THE GOD OF MUSIC AND LIFE. I KNOW THAT BENDRICK IS BETTER BUT I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT GETTING MY ANUS DESTROYED TO DRAKE’S MUSIC.🫦🫦🫦🫦🫦
I’m really not sure what Greg is. Is he like a crazy angry kid, or some like basement dwelling insane full grown man who has nothing better to do with, seemingly literally all of his time, than post on this site? Regardless, he’s a massive C(;)NT.
Just a micro dicked angry gay dude who can’t get a date or let back stage to a Drake concert due to being on house arrest for trying to pick up little boys at a playground. That’s why he came up with the name great greg for the lil boys to call him
Pathetic, simply pathetic. Hip Hop this generation is straight pussy. This is the biggest bitch move I’ve ever seen. So this is what rappers do, sue cuz they lost and make accusations and excuses. If he would’ve tried that in the 90s or 00s he would’ve been laughed out of hip hop. What a loser.
ok pedo – feel sorry for your kids. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re the gay pedophile who supports a fake ass wannabe rapper who wants to be American so much that he’s got to buy friends and can’t even fight his own battles without bursting into tears.
you sound so fucking stupid to think you won’t get shot for that in real life. keep your fucking mouth shut. you have to be 12 years old talking like this for real and if you are I hope you aren’t being molested😔get help
He’s proud of being a Canadian. He never tries to be american unlike kendrick who tries to be hood when he’s not about that life
Keeps making himself look worse and worse. People that lose hip hop battles never took it to court.
sure pedo 🤮
I’m an overly sensitive little bitch who hasn’t stopped ranting about Kendrick beating my daddy Drake since the summer when the beef started. I spend my waking hours trolling my dislike for Kendrick on any article he’s mentioned because he hurt my little F@ggy feelings for saying such mean things about my daddy. I get my pussy hurt whenever you “Kendrick supporters” talk back to me and I have to go back and forth because I’m in my feelings like a woman. So I spend all this time using different names and upvoting myself because I’m a hypocrite loser who has no life outside of saying things about Kendrick Lamar on this website. My name is Great Greg, but you can call me Gay Greg the pedo supporter…
Drake is gay and a big ass crybaby
This canadian fruitbowl pretended all his career to be a rapper but when he lose to a diss song he goes straight to the courtroom to get some ruling to remove his competitor’s music. WTF. He lost all his credibility if he ever had one. A real jxwish move.
ok pedo 🚮
Please don’t pay attention to me. I suck dicks and I take it in the ass like my fellow Canadians people.
Stop, it’s embarrassing. We all know Drake is the pedophile.
Drake should’ve taken the long hiatus from rap like he said he would. instead he started beef and got buried by K-dot. and now he’s acting like a victim
you keep on posting pedo😔 cops are still on your IP not Drake’s
I’m forever on Drake’s dick. I’m his genital wart
@gaygreg No sane, straight person talks about pedophilia as much as you do. You’re gay af and probably have all types of pedo porn in your history search. You fruitcake
Even I have to admit, this sh!t is gay as hell.. but it’s ok, I still love you Daddy Drizzy
What a pussy. He just tanked his already tanked career. Its a diss track, you lost. Move on. Can you imagine if Biggie sued Pac for Hit em Up or Jay-Z sued Nas after he got Etherd ? Nobody rocks with Drake. He was for the ladies, but they moved on to new celebrities. Thats what happens when you do pop rap.
yeah but we’re going to tank the industry next. ok pedo? stop fucking kids it doesn’t make you any kind of “OG”
Trolling on a blg, yeah that’s bitch shit
drake dick vid leak 4K
wait this isnt google how do I delete a comment
The white boooooooooi is struggling to cope 🤣
That suburban upbringing is really shining through here…. music gets too loud and he’s calling the cops.
whatever u say pedo 🤔
