Recently, Caroline Polisi, a well-known legal contributor for CBS News and a self-proclaimed Kendrick Lamar fan took to CBS Morning News on January 17. There, she opened up about the latest legal battle between Lamar and Drake. Referring to Drake's lawsuit against Spotify and Universal Music Group, she said:
“It’s giving crash out. But from a legal perspective, it’s an interesting move on Drake’s part. Notably, he’s not suing Kendrick Lamar. He’s suing Universal which reps both of these artists. It seems like a failed attempt to not look petty, not to look like he’s suing the artist that just annihilated him in this rap battle."
The interview came after Drake abruptly canceled his lawsuit against Spotify and Universal Music for allegedly inflating Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us streaming stats. On Tuesday, January 14, the rapper retracted the case in New York.
The withdrawal happened two months after the rapper filed the petition in November 2024, alleging that Spotify and UMG were part of an illegal "scheme" promoting Lamar's Drake diss track using payola, bots, and other methods.
Since the comment, Caroline Polisi has been trending on social media. Polisi practices federal criminal defense and white-collar law. She also has more than 10 years of expertise as a legal analyst and commentator for well-known people.
