Drake has withdrawn his legal petition against Spotify and UMG after claiming they artificially inflated Kendrick Lamar's 'Not LIke Us.'
A second action against UMG and iHeartRadio is still active, alleging that the ‘Not Like Us’ track is defamatory.
The NFL apparently wants nothing to do with the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef and is attempting to duck the smoke at all costs.
The lawsuit states that on May 4, 2024, the day “Not Like Us” came out, “UMG approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for violent retribution against him.”
Drake doubled down in his legal action against his label, Universal, suing the company for defamation over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, 'Not Like Us.'
Drake had filed actions against Universal Music Group and Spotify, in which he claimed the two companies had colluded to artificially boost the streaming numbers of Lamar’s song “Not Like Us.” The song was one of several tracks released in a feud between Drake and Lamar.

As Drake continues to make legal moves, Kendrick Lamar prepares for his halftime show at Super Bowl LIX. The rapper has been seemingly unfazed by all the chatter surrounding his upcoming performance, even when Lil Wayne took offense to being snubbed for the chance to perform in his hometown.
