Drake is suing his own record label over Kendrick Lamar song ‘Not Like Us’, claiming it is defamatory.
In a lawsuit filed today (January 15) in federal court, Drake is taking Universal Music Group (UMG), the record company which has signed both rappers, to court for defamation and harassment.
The 38-year-old believes UMG promoting Kendrick’s song is an example of his record label valuing ‘corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists’.
The two music stars have long been beefing it out, but their feud came to a head last year when both Drake and Kendrick dropped diss tracks about one another.
Kendrick released ‘Not Like Us’ on May 4 after Drake dropped his song ‘Push Ups’ a few weeks prior.
But Kendrick’s track ended up being the winner in terms of streaming numbers and has amassed over a billion streams, while ‘Push Ups’ has had around 28.6 million.
