So the new narrative is no longer that UMG and/or Spotify botted the song but that there was a “third party” and UMG was aware.. and their source on that is… that random nigga that called in on Ak’s stream with Zelle transfer statements? Lol

What about the comments and opionion and tweets calling Drake a pedophile and creep before the beef that went viral.. including those that Drake fans claimed Kendrick “stole”? Tho k those would be used as evidence?

Was just reading this on X. I haven’t been following the whole lawsuit thing much but is drake in the right here?

Wasnt that always the narrative? This suit aint about s***.

Lets be honest Drake is only doing this to muddy the waters. Same way Trump used every angle possible to say he didnt lose in 2020. Not comparing Drake to Trump - its just a tactic.

At the end of the day its all about a perceived doubt by the court of public opinion.

7.4k idiots

Originally it was that they were all involved and that UMG paid out of their pocket. Now it’s that they were aware it was being paid for outside of their doing but didn’t nothing stop it

I think you need some stronger evidence to a song being “damaging” than mean comments in comment sections. But let’s see what the judge thinks

I think that you can answer this question yourself - if you just think a bit. Volume, what caused the volume to increase etc. Good luck

ur employee going out of their way to make sure that everyone worldwide sees you as a pdfile is nasty

umg gotta pay, you gotta be an idiot to think otherwise

Prove the volume increased

People thought Drake was a pedo in 2018 that’s why he tried to get ahead of it

Drake isn’t the first 30+ celebrity with a history of being associated/dating women a decade younger than him to be called a pedo on the internet. He’ll be aight, his next persona can be Leonardo DrizzCaprio

🤣🤣🤣

what could they possibly have on Drake that wouldn't implicate them

UMG and its new fans so dumb

“Drake, unquestionably one of the world’s most accomplished artists and with whom we’ve enjoyed a 16-year successful relationship, is being misled by his legal representatives into taking one absurd legal step after another.

In Texas last November, his counsel instituted a legal proceeding with much fanfare and bluster. On Monday, they quietly dropped the case.

In New York in January, Drake’s counsel filed a defamation lawsuit. Fearful of being sanctioned by the court for asserting false allegations, tonight they amended the complaint to withdraw them only to add more baseless allegations.

Two weeks ago, his representatives celebrated a ‘win’: the granting of a routine discovery motion. That ‘win’ will become a loss if this frivolous and reckless lawsuit is not dropped in its entirety because Drake will personally be subject to discovery as well. As the old saying goes, ‘be careful what you wish for.’

Both the Texas and New York proceedings are an affront to all artists and creative expression. Should his legal representatives senselessly keep the New York lawsuit alive, we will demonstrate that all remaining claims are without merit. It is shameful that these foolish and frivolous legal theatrics continue. They are reputationally and financially costly to Drake and have no chance of success

lol

This lawsuit also claims NLU damaged him financially/in business also correct?

This is stupid on their part.

That dumbass b**** thought Compton was one block

yea right
tell that to the judge buddy not Variety🤣🤣

Did the lawyer just try to do intimidate the defendant? Seeing as how the lawsuit is about defamation, putting out a statement like that they knowingly feed into it. Stupid statement
