Drake Seeks Kendrick Lamar's Contract
Digest more
Drake is seeking more ammunition in his defamation lawsuit against his own record label over the Kendrick Lamar diss track "Not Like Us."
The Hollywood Reporter states that Drizzy is attempting to persuade the court to force the record label and its chairman and CEO, Lucian Grainge, to hand over Dot’s contract. He’s also asking for any details and communications from Grainge regarding “allegations of domestic violence and other crimes” supposedly committed by the pgLang head.
In a declaration letter, UMG's CEO was particularly blunt in describing Drake's legal moves as "groundless and indeed ridiculous," and also revealed that the company had spent "hundreds of millions" supporting the Canadian rapper.
Drake's legal team is demanding internal records on some of the most explosive claims of his Kendrick Lamar beef: allegations of domestic violence and the role of Dave Free in the lives of Lamar's children.
In a declaration letter filed Thursday night in the Southern District of New York, Grainge said Drake's accusation that UMG (parent label firm to both Drake and Lamar) defamed him “makes no sense.”
