Wildfires Delay Drake Defamation Lawsuit


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

Now the LA wildfires are hindering UMG's response...

Drake’s defamation lawsuit against UMG over a Kendrick Lamar track is delayed as wildfires disrupt the record label’s legal response.
UMG, the defendant in the high-profile lawsuit filed by the Canadian rap star, has requested a 34-day extension to respond to the claims, citing the impact of the natural disaster on its executives and legal team.
UMG’s lawyer, Nicholas P. Crowell, submitted a formal request to the court, explaining the urgent need for additional time.
“We request this extension…because the wildfires in Los Angeles have greatly impacted Defendant’s executive and legal teams. An extension from the Court would enable sufficient time to respond,” Crowell explained.
UMG is asking for a date of March 17 to prepare its official response to the claims, if the court approves of the extension.

^Yes, Unfortunately, the wildfire has spread further down Southern Cal into the San Diego area.
My continued prayers are with the people in California.

I’ll be glad when European Americans leave too. Go home and stay. Make Europe great again. Make the Caucus mountains great again or wherever the hell you came from make that great again.

Less focus on Trump. More focus on TMH. Study thyself to be approved.

I'll rather focus on protecting our rights down here on earth since it appears that TMH allowed this weirdo to take office in this nation.

Don't blame God. He gave us free will - I blame the 90 million voters who stayed home this election and single issue voters who voted third party or Trump because there was so called 'no difference' between the parties.

I BLAME ELON MUSK FOR "KNOWING HIS WAY AROUND THOSE COMPUTERS" AS DUMP SAID, FOR WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH NOW.
HOWEVER, I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE MOST HIGH GOD ALMIGHTY DID ALLOW THIS TO OCCUR AS WELL FOR WHAT REASONS, I'M NOT SURE WHY HE DID. BUT, I HAVE MY SUSPICIONS THOUGH.
I ALSO BLAME THOSE WHO DIDN'T WANT TO VOTE FOR A WOMAN OF COLOR AS THIS NATION'S PRESIDENT TOO FOR THE ELECTION RESULTS & WHERE WE ARE NOW.
