Yeah that deformation lawsuit hitting…. Drizzy hittin em
He’s not but this is what I alluded to yesterday. You don’t file in state court if you want a swift decision because NY state court runs as fast as Tom Brady. He tried to use that tactic to get discovery for free or to put pressure on them but his lawyer was like that shyt isn’t going to work. And likely through conferences the judge was like, I don’t see it. So they decided to file with what they have in federal court which moves more swiftly. I still don’t see how he wins: the facts aren’t there for me. I guess if he survives a motion to dismiss and they get into discovery and gets to depose Lucien and try to embarrass him. UMG would settle before it reached that point. But Lucien would also probably be dipping and dodging and being like - I don’t direct anything. I don’t know about anything like that.

So basically Drake tried to play his usual behind the scenes games of a cease and desist, UMG refused so now he's suing UMG. Pure Karen "let me talk to your manager, fine then I'll see everybody" behavior.
20. In stark contrast, when Drake confronted UMG about its role in promoting
allegations of sexual misconduct lacking “the slightest factual basis” against him, UMG refused
to do anything to help. Instead, UMG continued to republish and promote the Defamatory
Material, even after Drake had unequivocally denied the allegations in public and had
communicated that in private to UMG. Drake informed UMG of the tangible harm that the
publication and promotion of the Recording had caused him—including violence, threats,
reputational and financial damage, and more. Yet UMG still chose money over the safety and
well-being of its artists, notwithstanding its public commitment to “behaving honorably and with
honesty,” and “setting the right tone—in all that we do.” 18
21. Many months prior to filing this litigation, Drake attempted to address these claims
privately with UMG. Drake believed, per Sir Grainge, that UMG’s leadership should be held
“accountable for the decisions we make and how we conduct ourselves.”19 And UMG purports to
care about threatening and abusive behavior—indeed, UMG’s Code of Conduct notes that
“[h]arassment can take different forms, such as . . . speech that is threatening or abusive,” and
declares that “violence, threats and physical intimidation are not tolerated at Universal Music”
because “[w]e all share the responsibility to make health and safety a constant priority.”20 Yet, in
response to Drake’s concerns, UMG responded that Drake would face humiliation if he brought
legal action—presuming that the public would be unable to understand UMG’s role in exploiting
and profiting from this dispute. UMG’s posture, as the “world’s largest music company,” was that
it is untouchable

Drake cant or wont move on from what happened so he is in a bad place emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. Kendrick really did rip the mask off drake and now everybody seeing the lame hoe ass dude he is.
True, however slandering someone calling them a pedophile is legal grounds for a lawsuit if we keeping it 500 especially if millions of people hearing it and saying it when it’s not true… take the certified pedophile out of the song and yeah drake gotta let that song rock lol
This dude really didn't learn from calling out Pusha T's wife.

Kendrick didn't do that, it was Pac's estate themselves
It was all good when Family Matters accused Kendrick of Domestic Violence lacking "the slightest factual basis" though
