then they have nothing to hide

Nigga doing stadium shows and just won a Grammy

Bro family matters doesn’t have the same effect on Kendrick that NLU has on Drake, culturally or industry wise

Yall this the dumb ass b**** that said New York isn’t a walkable city, never listen to anything this village idiot has to say

R&B album of the year

The lawsuit isn’t just because he called him a pedophile

It’s because he called him a pedophile and it actually damaged his reputation

The main focus of this is that it damaged his reputation, Which applies to anyone who ever got damaged from a big beef

Drake high key did more damage to Meek than Kendrick did to him. Meeks career never recovered after back to back

Yall don’t care about defamation yall mad cuz he lost the battle.
Also you have no car so your opinion ain’t s***

Drake was the #1 most streamed artist of 2024 and was the 2nd highest selling artist in the world in 2024

He’s still selling out venues globally

And he just released an album which had the highest streaming week for an R&B album ever

Exactly what damaging effect is Not Like Us having on him?

Y’all post these streaming stats and sold out tour dates every day on here and at the same time wanna say that Not Like Us has severely damaged his financial status and reputation, make it make sense

Drake was the second highest selling artist on the planet in 2024, I’m seriously curious how they’re tryna to say that Not Like Us severely damaged his reputation

Only people damaged brutally are his d*** riding stans that are in every drake thread talking about Kendrick

I’m sure it’s caused some mental stress for him no doubt, but to act like that song seriously damaged his career in any way, shape, or form is genuine insanity

That’s what all this is actually about

They’re doing mental gymnastics to make s*** make sense. Justifying all this bs because they think it’s the only path to “Drake actually won!”

So many Drake fans said “This lawsuit has nothing to do with Kendrick, It’s between Drake and UMG” and I guarantee on my life, If Drake wins, Those same people will immediately turn around say “HAHA PROOF KENDRICK LOST AND DRAKE WON!!!”

Now if Drake would’ve went from let’s say 10 billion streams in 2023 to like 2 billion in 2024 and was having trouble selling out tour dates and his new album sold like 50K first week, then yes, that’s obvious evidence that Not Like Us severely damaged his career and financial status and he would easily win this lawsuit

But none of that is true whatsoever

The damn World Cup is teasing that he might be the artist for their halftime show man

I also didn’t forget how y’all went on a crusade saying this lawsuit was to destroy the evil music industry and help out all the smaller artists

Then immediately turned around and said “fuck them little guys, Drake won” when he dropped the petition

He should sue if Drake defamed his name with false information!

any angle about Drake's rep being damaged is null and void bc Drake egged it on in that Taylor Made AI track

Yall don’t care about defamation. The beef is over and there is one winner

Oh wow

You’re telling me that for the first time

Yall in here crying about defamation lol

Yeah, they can’t make up their minds whether this is about exposing the big, bad major label from colluding with DSPs or cleansing Drake’s “damaged and defamed” reputation

That's the actual topic of this thread

you dont get it man

drake risked using an AI Pac to goad kendrick into calling him a pedo, while also calling kendrick a woman beater and his kids being his best friends instead, as one big plan to eventually sue umg for defamation!

high risk, high reward, he really is an ambassador for stake!

I honestly don't know what it’ll take for them to finally realize Drake ain’t coming back from this L

I think some of them know that already, They just can’t accept it

not a single soul responded to my quotations of Back down by 50 cent

Because they can’t
