Drake's legal team said Universal Music Group used its resources to "elevate a dangerous and inflammatory message that was designed to assassinate Drake’s character."

The leading hip-hop superstar beef has been cranked up another notch, with Drake suing Universal Music Group for defamation over rival Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.”

When Drake and Kendrick Lamar first started duking it out through a series of hard-hitting diss tracks in the spring of 2024, no one could've predicted that the back-and-forth would soon become one of hip-hop's most historic rap beefs on record - much less one of the music industry's biggest legal battles.
