Yes actually

I would pay unlimited amount of money to see Smacked Voodoo present that idea to a lawyer

I'm quite often left bewildered by users in here; many of them are so wrong and at the same time speak with such confidence. I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

representing a high profile client is a win for a legal firm regardless of outcome. drake is not getting turned down by any defamation lawyer in the world regardless of whether or not his claims have merit

Twitter users so dumb

can you show me a single example of this occurring with a wealthy celebrity? was OJ innocent because he had one of the best teams of defence attorneys in history? surely they wouldn't have risked their reputations right

It is how it works. Drake basically said I heard a rumor. Kendrick said Drake's album title and called him a pedo.

You can laugh now, cry later.

One example is when Donald Trump reportedly had trouble finding lawyers to represent him in various legal battles, particularly after the 2020 election and during investigations into his business dealings. Some prominent law firms turned him down due to concerns about his reputation and the potential difficulty of getting paid.

Trump was turned down for being an incredibly divisive figure, not because of his lawsuits' lack of merit. Trump has been filing frivolous and vexatious lawsuits since the early 80s and he's had no issue getting the best possible legal representation until his presidential run

Bill Cosby (Sexual Assault Cases)

After Bill Cosby was accused of multiple sexual assaults, several high-profile lawyers reportedly refused to represent him. Some attorneys didn’t want to be associated with such a controversial case, while others had concerns about the likelihood of success. Cosby ultimately had to change his legal team multiple times during his trials.

Harvey Weinstein (Sexual Misconduct Cases)

Harvey Weinstein, once a powerful Hollywood producer, struggled to secure top-tier legal representation after being accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. Many elite lawyers, including Lisa Bloom (who initially agreed to advise him but later withdrew), distanced themselves from him due to the overwhelming public backlash.

Charlie Sheen (HIV Lawsuits & Other Legal Troubles)

Charlie Sheen, known for his erratic behavior and public scandals, has reportedly been turned down by lawyers in various legal matters, including cases related to his disclosure of HIV status. Some attorneys were hesitant to take on his case due to his history of unpredictable behavior and difficulties with past legal teams.

Kanye West (Business & Divorce Battles)

Kanye West, during his divorce from Kim Kardashian and his controversial public statements, reportedly had trouble retaining lawyers. He went through multiple attorneys while dealing with his divorce and business disputes, as some legal professionals found him difficult to work with.

Right but the Kanye quote was after the initial response to like that. When the beef kicked off everyone assumed that Drake was coming from the power position after he chose to engage which follows the purple decision tree here. He ended up following the red decision tree, which now because we have all of the information we assume the outcome was always going to follow that path. When in reality, at the starting point, if the information about the contract negotiations is true the optimal path was to not engage. If you want to add in that it was a 20v1 and the label was against him, sure you can up the probability of a loss to even 70% or higher, but that just makes it a less optimal strategy

Not with this many eyes on the case.

Any form of incompetence from his lawyers and they will be known for it forever.

Anytime Amber Heard's team of lawyers gets brought up on a different case they are always labeled as "The lawyers who represented Amber Heard during her trail against Johnny Depp."

They looked so unprepared it was comical.

• drake lost his female fanbase
• drake lost the culture
• drake is hated on every forum board
• drake is hated on twitter

WHO IS STREAMING HIM MAN, WHO

You're coping hard. I get it cause niggas listened to Drake since elementary school type s*** but at the end of the day he's going out like a sucker. Since when do we come up for reasons for niggas suing over diss tracks. It's teenagers out there with nothing that took way more disrespectful disses on the chin and came back.

Drake feels UMG shouldn't have put out the song on the strength of their business relationship and him being on the label his entire run. I know this because he said as much in those leaked DMs. Yall turn this s*** into some renegade fight the power s*** when it's clear he's just spiraling because he cant handle the loss. He said he wouldn't be able to handle a true loss on Do Not Disturb. Remember UMG took down adidon. He thought they would do him that same solid.

And another thing that bothers me about this whole s*** is he'll stream with those racist white boys on kick but he'll throw the black streamers under the bus talking about UMG helped them with the copyright s*** to slander him. But dude had no problem hitting them up to react to his tracks. S*** is lame all around fr.

Also this shut just sets a bad precedent for censorship in rap music. I don't see how you can be a hip hop fan and cosign this. Fandom aside

all of these examples cite specific reasons for withdrawing legal representation and none of them are based on the case lacking merit

Everyone in this very thread

yo this chart got me f***ing cry

his lawyers are not being incompetent, that's not what I'm saying at all. of course they are representing this case in the most effective manner possible. that doesn't mean that the case at its core has any merit

Elaine Bredehoft's reputation in the legal community hasn't changed at all, her record is absolutely incredible

hes suing a company.... hes refusing to sue kendrick....

yall niggas ran around for a year basially saying drake a pedohpile, its social law at this point. theres no way i made yall all this money and yall rigged the game to let this song win and yall getting away with it. f*** it, i keep the lights on, so if i gotta self destruct? im taking the lights with me

id feel crazy if i was drake brah i wouldnt go about it like this i probably wouldnt have responded to kendrick at all but dude cmon lets be real here

• He hasn’t lost the majority of his female fanbase.
• “The culture” isn’t the general public.
• People don’t live on music discussion forums.
• Twitter is full of hate for everyone and everything in general.
