Hip hop superstar Drake has added Kendrick Lamar’s performance of the diss track “Not Like Us” at the Super Bowl to his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group. Drake claims the song, which includes false pedophilia allegations against him, was performed to millions of viewers, including children, and tarnished his reputation.
Drake’s lawyer, Michael Gottlieb, says the amended complaint strengthens their case against Universal Music. The lawsuit also alleges that Universal Music used financial benefits and business relationships to secure Lamar’s Super Bowl performance and promote the song.
Universal Music has denied the allegations, stating that Drake’s legal representatives are misleading him. The lawsuit also claims that defamatory parts of “Not Like Us” were played at the Grammy Awards, further damaging Drake’s reputation.
Drake and Lamar have been engaged in a feud for years, with both artists releasing diss tracks aimed at each other. The lawsuit alleges that the beef led to real-world consequences, including a security breach at Drake’s home and online harassment.
The ongoing legal battle between Drake and Universal Music highlights the tensions between the two rap superstars and their record label. Despite Universal Music’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Drake is determined to hold the company accountable for the damage caused by the song “Not Like Us.”
