Universal Files Motion to Dismiss Drake Lawsuit


Last week Canadian rapper Drake filed a defamation of character lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing them of helping to defame him by distributing West Coast rapper Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss track, "Not Like Us [click here if you missed that ]."

UMG has filed a motion to quash...

On Friday, UMG submitted a 144-page motion to quash Drake’s Texas filing, firmly denying any accusations of misconduct. The motion describes the rapper’s actions as “retaliatory” and seeks dismissal of the petition along with a suspension of discovery and a request to cover legal fees. UMG’s legal team asserts that Drake’s actions are part of a “strategic legal retaliation against UMG and others,” and accuses him of attempting to “limit the distribution of ‘Not Like Us.’”
