again, yall dont know what exactly we are talking about here. They are alleging fraudulent manipulation and cooperation with Spotify and AM that breaks the fiduciary duty that UMG owes its artist.

This is not merely a case of "suing cuz they pushed a song". They push music all the time. There's a diff between that and doing what UMG is alleged to have been doing for NLU

No problem, I think people are having fun clowning Drake - and I get it, because there is some real bullshit in this filing - but people don’t get how lawsuits work. Frivolous and dumb claims are included because the point is very literally to paint a biased picture exaggerating harm done to the defendant. The Epic Games vs Apple lawsuit is a great example of this, if anyone wants proof of huge businesses making small frivolous bullshit claims. If the state allows the trial to proceed with discovery there’s some real crazy s*** that will likely come out from labels and Spotify here. I don’t think this is about Kendrick at all really, this seems more like Drake suicide bombing the industry

To be clear, unless Drake's pockets are hurting I'm not sure this is worth it. This is an awful, awful look.

But the fact that he went forward with it anyway, despite the optics, suggest that perhaps there's some legs to what they've already found and included in this (not yet) yet lawsuit.

I think...IMO, it makes sense that in the midst of negotiating a new 400M deal w/UMG, you'd take legal action if you felt that a record by a UMG artist, that was released on the same label that you're on greatly impacted potential and future earnings because of illegal tactics, as lame as it looks optically.

People trying to turn this into Drake being some sort of Robin Hood figure are genuinely insane. This nigga has no other motivation beyond the historical ass whooping he took this summer

he should just go full MAGA at this point and win the lawsuit

And you genuinely think this was the only example in an already proven corrupt industry…

If they admit to this, it would topple the music industry as we know it. This is never going to happen

(Also because it’s obviously not f***ing true)

I swear yall dont read. It says "could" of course I made it up. I'm theorizing on what it could be. Settlement terms can be nearly anything

BigSkinny

That's why they will negotiate to "save the industry" in the settlement agreement. Settlement is a negotiation and if their motivation is to not topple the industry, they'll argue for it at the table.

I love how you can say it's not true when there has only been a plaintiff filing.

People forget Drake is a child star. He is use to getting what he wants so after the loss he is on his conspiracy theories s***. He can't believe he lost. He did the same thing to push a t. Took down story of Addidon on YouTube. UMG took it down lol
