Drake Amends Lawsuit Against UMG To Target Super Bowl and The Grammys

Drake has amended his legal complaint against UMG and is now saying that Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” winning two Grammy Awards this year and Kendrick performing the song at the Super Bowl were orchestrated to damage Drake’s character.
 
It’s also being alleged that UMG helped organize and promote the Super Bowl performance, which had an audience of 133 million people.
 
“It was the first, and will hopefully be the last, Super Bowl halftime show orchestrated to assassinate the character of another artist,” it says in the 107-page complaint.
 
In another part, it says “Not Like Us” was played during the Grammys to 15 million viewers, something that wouldn’t have happened if UMG didn’t give the OK.
 
The song won Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the awards show, and the complaint mentions that UMG CEO Lucian Grainge gave Dr. Dre a high five and a hug after the victories.
 
UMG has already responded and said the OVO rapper is being led astray by his legal team.
 
“Drake, unquestionably one of the world’s most accomplished artists and with whom we’ve enjoyed at 16-year successful relationship, is being misled by his legal representatives into taking one absurd legal step after another,” the response reads. “It is shameful that these foolish and frivolous legal theatrics continue. They are reputationally and financially costly to Drake and have no chance of success.”
