Drake Argues Kendrick Lamar's Diss Track Defamed Him as Millions Took Lyrics Literally

Drake's legal team claims Lamar's Super Bowl performance amplified harm from the track, while UMG defends lyrics as opinion in ongoing lawsuit.

Drake's lawyers assert that 'millions of people' interpreted Kendrick Lamar's diss track 'Not Like Us' as a factual accusation of pedophilia.
The lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) also alleges the label inflated streaming numbers for the track to favor Lamar during their feud.
UMG filed a motion to dismiss, arguing the lawsuit is an attempt by Drake to recover from losing a public rap battle to Lamar.
Drake's legal team responded, stating that the lyrics implied allegations based on undisclosed evidence, leading audiences to believe the claims were true.
Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX performance of 'Not Like Us' went viral, further embedding the track's cultural impact and intensifying the controversy.
