Drake seemingly addresses the UMG lawsuit in his latest freestyle

In addition to reportedly dissing Kendrick Lamar and some of his associates who changed sides during his feud with Lamar, Drizzy seemingly took a dig at Universal Music Group as well. The lyrics mention:

“I hate to see their empire crumble on judges’ convictions."

Drizzy filed two legal petitions against Universal Music Group in November 2024. In the first petition, lawyers for the rapper's company Frozen Moments LLC accused UMG and Spotify of launching a campaign to manipulate the streams of Kendrick Lamar's diss track Not Like Us. Drizzy's lawyers alleged:

“UMG … conspired with and paid currently unknown parties to use ‘bots’ to artificially inflate the spread of Not Like Us and deceive consumers into believing the song was more popular than it was in reality."

In the second petition, Drizzy accused UMG of defamation claiming that the music company was aware of the false accusations against him mentioned in Not Like Us like that of Drizzy being a pedophile. Drizzy claimed that UMG released the track despite knowing the nature of the accusations the diss track consisted of.

Both the petitions by Drizzy were legal filings and not lawsuits, but rather a request for information from the entities which can be used in a potential lawsuit in the future.
