Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud from last year went from songs and videos to Super Bowl bookings and pre-action petitions. The 38-year-old rapper recently dropped his legal action against Spotify and Universal Music Group that accused them of artificially inflating the popularity of the Compton rapper’s hit diss track “ Not Like Us .”

The leading hip-hop superstar beef has been cranked up another notch, with Drake suing Universal Music Group for defamation over rival Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.”

Drake has filed a defamation and harassment lawsuit against Universal Music Group, alleging that the mega media corporation improperly promoted his rival Kendrick Lamar’s diss track to damage his career and gain leverage over future contract negotiations.
