"UMG is the “world’s largest music company,” and also the music company that has represented Drake for more than a decade.
Yet, on May 4, 2024, UMG approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for violent retribution against him.
Even though UMG enriched itself and its shareholders by exploiting Drake’s music for years, and knew that the salacious allegations against Drake were false, UMG chose corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists."
That's what I'm talking about
Drake is arguing that they did a lot more than just release NLU. They went out of their way to massively promote the song at his detriment partly because he feels they wanted to drive down his value and worth for when his deal would be up and he'd come back to the table for renegotiations.
This is really about him feeling like UMG pushed the button on his image being ruined through the message of that song and ultimately harming his ability to make as much money as possible.
Reading this is crazy if its what drake truly believes (ik u not saying this)
NLUs drop and immediate stratosphere reception felt like the most organic mainstream rap hit in YEARS.
push ups wouldve been more of a hit if the beef did end that week and the song didnt "leak" prior to its official release.
@ShinNohara Idk how you have the audacity to create another account after going out sad on yo last one

I just don't see how anyone could purport that UMG launched some massive campaign to make Not Like Us big. The song went viral the moment it dropped on YouTube
Also stop saying it’s only Drake haters in here when it’s literally relating to the biggest feud in rap right now lmfao of course this thread will be gaining traffic
before any beef yall were flooding every single drake leak thread or any thread involving drake news
Drake: Say that i like young girls, thats a gift from me
Kendrick: you like young girls.
Drake: wait a second.... Im calling the feds!!!!
UMG: shows video of him literally kissing an underaged girl.
me and pac waiting to hear budden next pod on saturday
he's gonna go off 100 percent
When this entire federal lawsuit blows up in Drake's face after he begged Kendrick to call him a PDFile on Taylor Made Freestyle
Has been obvious I just like saying it because it gets him to be all quiet when he's being annoying
You’re such a bully Bruises ugh
Interestingly, Drake isn't going directly after Kendrick in the suit -- in fact, he says, "This lawsuit is not about the artist who created 'Not Like Us.' It is, instead, entirely about UMG, the music company that decided to publish, promote, exploit, and monetize" the song which it knew contained false claims.

This is ridiculous they put out Push Ups and Family Matters too
I don't understand this lawsuit in the slightest.
Honestly looks like that Super Bowl announcement did the most damage you can tell it’s all about the possibilities of that song being performed on that stage
I just don't see how anyone could purport that UMG launched some massive campaign to make Not Like Us big. The song went viral the moment it dropped on YouTube
Drake is acting like they put NLU on everyones phone as soon as it dropped like that U2 album on iphones
why have you posted this like 4 times now
If anyone has access to PACER here’s the complaint
