Drake's Record Label Seeks Dismissal of Revised Lawsuit

In April, Drake amended his defamation lawsuit, prompting Universal Music Group to seek dismissal. Initially filed in January, Drake's suit accused UMG of willful defamation for promoting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” UMG previously requested dismissal in March and again returned to court, citing recent claims about marketing strategies linked to high-profile events. The dismissal motion asserts that Drake has retracted “obviously false” allegations, while questioning the validity of his supporting evidence, suggesting he selectively used internet comments to bolster his case.
