Earlier this week it was reported that Drake was willing to drop key elements from his defamation of character lawsuit against Universal Music Group, for distributing Kendrick Lamar's scathing Drake diss track "Not Like Us [click here if you missed that]."
In his legal response Drake denies altering his lawsuit in any meaningful way and references the 133.5 million viewers who tuned in for Kendrick's performance of the diss track during his Super Bowl halftime show...

In a letter to Judge Antonio Vargas filed on Monday (February 24), Drake’s attorney Michael J. Gottlieb responds to UMG’s recent claim that his side was getting ready to drop “key allegations” in their suit against the music giant.
Gottlieb hits back, saying that UMG is concerned about only a “single factual allegation” — one that, even if Drake adjusted the lawsuit to deal with the company’s concerns, would result in very minimal changes.
All of this back-and-forth has to do with a pre-trial conference scheduled for April 2 that UMG wants to delay, so that Judge Vargas can have time to consider Universal’s motion to dismiss the case entirely — a motion they have to file by March 17.
Gottlieb, on the other hand, wants the conference to happen as scheduled. He also wants UMG to begin the process of turning over evidence related to the case, known as discovery — something the company has so far resisted, as they said in a letter filed Friday (February 21) that discovery was “premature” given the state of the case.
Gottlieb argues against delaying discovery in his letter to Judge Vargas, citing Kendrick’s Super Bowl performance as an example of the harm that comes with waiting.
“[D]elaying discovery would unfairly prejudice [Drake], who is continuing to suffer the consequences of UMG’s defamatory campaign,” he writes. “Indeed, at the same time UMG has been delaying here, UMG launched new campaigns to further spread the defamatory content [“Not Like Us”], including at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, which had over 133.5 million viewers.”

I’m a woman, idiot. And the fact anyone thinks a real man would be fine with being labeled as a pedo speaks volumes as to why you boys get emasculated like you do on a regular. Can’t fight Tyrone to stay off your booty so you’re fine with a ugly midget who couldn’t get a real woman even if he rapped in a man’s voice. Fake woke a$$ hood boogers.
Makes no difference if you''re a man or woman, Black or white. You're a colonizer.
Not like us, indeed.
^^^Kendrick got you in your feelings, huh? Relax. It's just entertainment.

The midget should have said "alleged" instead of "certified". Lawbrey has a right to sue!
Kendrick "the midget" Lamar ain't the 1 being sued by Grake though. Grake is suing everybody but K.Dot.
"A cease-and-desist is for hoes"...Drake on Family Matters. He's such a joke.
In full agreement with 3:48.
