They don't want to pay Drake another 400M bag because unlike any of his contemporaries, he runs through these deals with relative ease so as they're negotiating, they're drowning drake's value, and used not like us as a proxy to do so via illegitimate and illegal means

At least that's what Drake is essentially getting at with this

The lawsuit specifically claims to have proof UMG entered into an arrangement with Spotify under which UMG accepted less royalties per stream in exchange for promotion, and states UMG’s Interscope division had motivation to inflate streams to mislead shareholders into inflating bonuses for their division CEO. It also claims to have knowledge employees were fired in retaliation for their involvement with this

There’s a lot of frivolous bullshit in the lawsuit too, but given Drake has a relationship with UMG through Republic, this really seems like he has some gripe with the label behind the scenes and it’s not about the beef directly. The suit isn’t a full lawsuit but an attempt to essentially get the state to subpoena evidence from UMG and Spotify. It seems like this is a last resort to try and force certain information public - not saying if it’s a good decision or not, but he has a real firm handling it

And before you even see the evidence you have formed very intricate theories that Drake is in the right?

Even with the case itself referencing a “hacker” that was proven cap months ago?

I think we’re in agreement on all points besides “bots didn’t have any significant impact” in the beef

they clearly did imo and that will be a net negative for kendrick if proven true

time will tell I suppose

No other artist is going to go after UMG besides maybe Taylor. In the pre-action it says Kendrick might have not even known NLU was being botted. The same thing can be said for Drake.

You don't think Drake realizes UMG might have done the same thing for him?

Drake is trying to give more power back to artists but for whatever reason ya'll can't see that.

it honestly should be more.

One of the most bizarre and (potentially) groundbreaking moments in Hip-Hop if this goes to a full fledged lawsuit with discovery

that doesn’t change what i said

Drake clearly didn’t go independent because he realizes the leverage the labels have in other areas of his career

if he truly believed he had more leverage he would’ve just cut ties back then, there’s a reason why only certain artists like Russ go that route and are successful and compare his status with Drake’s.
