The vulgar rap icon from the South is unhappy with Drake for filing numerous legal requests during his feud with Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick Lamar appears to be successfully achieving his aim of eclipsing Drake in Hip Hop and Black culture, as recent reports reveal that the Canadian superstar has submitted numerous petitions against him and Universal Music Group.
The singer of “Hotline Bling” has been receiving a lot of criticism from users on the app that used to be called Twitter and Instagram, as well as being reprimanded by members of the media like Elliott Wilson, Jalen Rose, DJ Hed, Joe Budden, and more. Lately, hip-hop icon Uncle Luke released a video discussing his opinions on the legal actions of the OVO leader.
In the video, he stated, “I enjoy Drake’s music, although I am not a fan of his current projects, his music still appeals to me.” There are some topics you should avoid discussing. You shouldn’t discuss payola, purchasing live streams, or take legal action after being criticized, especially if you have also criticized others.
He subsequently discussed the distinctions between his previous disagreements and the ongoing feud between Drake and Lamar. He further mentioned that the up-and-coming artists are sensitive but made it clear that he is an original in the industry. One user asked, “Did Biggie file a lawsuit against Tupac?” Did Kim file a lawsuit against Foxy? Has Nas filed a lawsuit against JAY-Z? Was there a lawsuit filed by Ja Rule against 50 Cent? Was Megan Thee Stallion’s lawsuit against Nicki Minaj successful? Drake, a rapper who has been involved in cosplaying for years, is now behaving childishly after losing a game he started.
Budden went to the extent of labeling the rapper as a “piece of s**t,” claiming that his current situation is a result of karma for the harm he has caused others in the industry. Drake recently submitted a pre-action petition alleging that Universal Music Group and Spotify had exaggerated the track’s streaming numbers. Following that, his lawyers submitted a second pre-action petition against UMG for releasing Lamar’s song “Not Like Us,” despite knowing it contained lyrics falsely labeling him as a pedophile.
UMG replied, saying that any insinuation of UMG undermining its artists is offensive and false. We utilize top ethical standards in our marketing and promotional strategies. In this preliminary submission, no fabricated legal arguments can hide the truth that fans select the music they desire to listen to.
