Drake’s Label Files Motion to Dismiss Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s Diss Track

Published by Parlour News

Universal Music Group (UMG) has filed a motion to dismiss Drake’s amended lawsuit for defamation in the high-profile feud sparked by Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us. Drake originally filed his defamation lawsuit in January, accusing UMG of intentionally promoting Lamar’s track, which he claimed contained defamatory material. The initial lawsuit alleged that UMG engaged in a smear campaign by supporting the song and pushing its exposure. UMG responded with a motion to dismiss in March, calling the claims baseless. In April, Drake’s legal team refiled the complaint, this time focusing on new events such as Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance and the song’s inclusion in the 2025 Grammy Awards. The amended filing argued that UMG promoted the track despite being aware of its controversial content. However, UMG’s latest motion, submitted on Wednesday, maintains much of its original argument while targeting the fresh claims in Drake’s updated complaint. “Drake filed an amended complaint where he removed obviously false factual allegations,” UMG’s counsel wrote. “The new allegations are astonishing.” UMG’s attorneys pointed out that Lamar’s Super …
