Universal Music Group has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Drake for posting parts of his newly disclosed treasure trove of previously unheard music on social media.
Drizzy’s burner Instagram account, @plottttwistttttt, was recently made public. On Thursday, August 8, the account shared a screenshot of the Instagram infraction.
Although UMG was named as the plaintiff in the notification, it was not made clear which of his recently released songs was the reason for the website’s copyright agreement to be broken.
Check out the screenshot below.
Drake stunned music lovers worldwide earlier this week by releasing a ton of old songs, music videos, and even ideas for his private plane’s interior design.
Drizzy released the 100 gigabytes of files online through the website 100gigs.org, which he promoted with a new Instagram page with the username @plottttwistttttt.
Three previously unheard songs are included in the treasure trove: “It’s Up,” with Young Thug and 21 Savage; “Housekeeping Knows,” featuring Latto; and “Blue Green Red.”
A 16-page “exterior concept pack” for his jet and behind-the-scenes videos from the studio, the creation of the “Hotline Bling” video, and other things are also included.
Latto elaborated on the drop in a post to X, posting a video of herself rapping her verse on the previously stated duet. The video was subsequently published on the Plot Twist Instagram account.
Gordo, who produced the song, also posted it on X with the caption, “DRAKE – HOUSEKEEPING KNOWS PRODUCED BY MEEEEEEE!!!!” HES WAYYYYACKKKKK!!!
It appears that Drake is under contract with Universal songs Group, thus the label is arguing that he doesn’t have the right to release all of this songs.
A video showing Drake and producer Noah “40” Shebib waiting for JAY-Z to submit his part for the Scorpion song “Talk Up” in the nick of time was also leaked.
The 6 God carefully considers his maneuvers in the video, aware that he would only have a short window of time to record because Jigga was opening for Beyoncé that evening on their On the Run II Tour.
“I am going to sleep for only two hours while Hov does his show because I don’t want him to come up to me and ask me what I think of something and me not being there to answer,” Drizzy says to his group.
He continues, foreshadowing Hov’s post-show actions: “He’s on stage now. It is four o’clock in two hours. After leaving the stage, he will take a shower, have a drink, and then re-establish himself with Guru to compose and record. Thus, that procedure will take two hours.
