Universal Music Group doesn’t want Drake’s lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” to be revived by a federal appeals court. In a new brief, the company argues that the rapper, in appealing his suit’s 2025 dismissal, is attempting to “critically undermine” hip-hop because he’s mad he was beaten in a rap beef.
Welcome back to Marcus at work media
So we seem to got a bit of an update with the whole Drake UMG lawsuit dismissal appeal. That's right
He's going to appeal the dismissal because he has not had enough. Let's see where we are with everything
So this is some days old but wanted to bring the update back here
So, you know how Drake in Universal Music Group have been going back and forth the last time we talked about this
I told you guys that there was a judge that dismissed Drake's defamation lawsuit
Saying that not like us can't be taken as fact and that it's you know, it makes no sense of what he's trying to claim
Now they've been Drake has been fighting back against that dismissal
he wants to appeal it and Universal Music Group is
Responding to the fact that he is fighting back against that dismissal and they're calling him a hypocrite. They're right
So UMG fired back at Drake's appeal and they say that because on Drake's side he's saying that the lawsuit is going to destroy
How what like what artists are allowed to do and how they can weaponize words
But UMG is saying that Drake's lawsuit would destroy hip-hop's creative foundation, which is built on wordplay
Um, they're calling him a lawsuit because they point to the fact that Drake used the same platform
You know UMG same platform to promote his own lyrics his own music
and now he's making it seem as if what Kendrick Lamar did was something that was able to actually make people believe that he was
But he made claims against Kendrick as well it is it is absolutely positively very hypocritical
Yeah, and that's what they're stating
And they wanted to be clear on paper that that is how they felt now
Drake will have to answer to this his answer is supposed to be back in on April 17th
And so they're gonna be going back and forth for paperwork. I don't know how this continues
It's a diss record right and we've heard worse diss records in in history of hip-hop
The fact that you sue for a diss record when you did something just as disrespectful, yeah, it's crazy
Did he lose any business behind it like can he prove that he lost anything or whatever if the case I went forward he would
Have had to prove that but he was claiming that he was claiming that it caused harm to his business his brand and just the
Safety of him as well to in his family Drake has prolonged this L
I mean god damn we'd have been over this battle a long time ago if it wasn't for these legal proceedings
Yeah
But yeah, so when April 17th comes if anything is not pushed and I will keep you guys updated there as well, too
So UMG lawyers are still on the job
Telling Drake to **** off in the court paperwork and pointing out like we all have pointed out the dangerous
Presidents it sets for a rap battle to be in a court proceeding
Let alone when
Causing liability to the person they engaged in the rap battle with that is the biggest issue
With this lawsuit not Drake want the money
He you know feel like he's wronged and all these things that him and his Drake stans have alluded over the time
It's about rap battles being in court. That's not a good look for the genre and we do not need
Regulatory oversight for a rap battle one is that when they were beefing UMG was making a ton of money
I think that's funny. It's like you're competing against somebody but they're but they're your boss
So I find that kind of funny. It's like
UMG one no matter who actually won the beef between Kendrick and Drake. So that's one
Two Drake is suing
the label
That helped him get millions of streams don't get me wrong or I say billions of streams
Do not get me wrong. Drake is one of the best artists ever. He's way bigger than Kendrick Lamar
but
The idea is you're suing the company that helped you
Get billions of stream
By buying streams did the same for Kendrick Lamar, but you're mad
Because they did it for Kendrick during the beef
You think that they over inflated his numbers because of the beef and maybe they did over inflate his number
But we cannot sit here and deny that Kendrick Lamar. Not like us was a hit a
Hit is a hit. It doesn't matter how many facings you buy
You can't fake that part. You can fake the streams, but you can't fake the feeling the attraction
the hypeness of that not like a song it was it was really a
It was really a classic song
At first I didn't really like I thought was alright, but then when I saw people reacting to I'm like Dan
This song is that nice?
so Drake continues to just
This beak like bro, like stop being a sore loser. Let it go this hip-hop beef
Has been like two years of writing you still trying to sue
The only thing is gonna do is expose the mid the music industry and also expose you at the same time
So like why do you continue to pursue this lawsuit against Kendrick, bro? You took that out?
By the way, I **** with Kendrick and I **** with Drake. I like both of them
I don't like one more than the other. I think they're both great at what they do
Jake is more mainstream Kendrick is very
Like a quote-unquote conscious rapper, but he could also make some mainstream music, but you know Drake you need to let it go
You're making this worse for yourself
It's like a X it's like a X that left you and you still trying to prove to her that
You know, you didn't cheat on her. Meanwhile. She sees she has all the proof in the world. She's seen all the text messages
I mean even Drake's fans are telling him to let it go here even
Academics has pointed out how bad your G is gonna do the boy about time. This is all said and done
Honestly, I think Universal has responded in the way that Drake didn't think they would respond
I think they're saying a drink. Oh, you really think you that nigga?
well
you
the settlement and
Kill career. I think that's exactly what they're saying that and I think
They looked at the petition and said brother. We got nothing to talk about we could play hardball
We'll tell you how this is gonna go
We're gonna beat your ass in court and while we beat your ass in court your career or what's left of it
We're gonna just watch it wither away because you can't drop music without us and
Even if you try to push the limits and just drop erroneous music that we could take down, but we love money
So we're not gonna take it out. We're not gonna promote it
So you're gonna be in a bad situation my boy, but you think you want to go to war with us?
We're gonna have to teach you a lesson
I keep saying that it is kind of tantamount and equivalent to the plantation with these labels
Even Drake could go get a spanking. So I think this is what I personally that
Universal music group is down to give Drake a spanking. What do you make it is you tell me put your comments below
Let's talk about it. This is marks at work media, and I'm out this bitch. Do you think that Drake's?
Rain at the top is over. Do you think Drake's career?
Will never be the same. Do you think people will never look at Drake the same as a result of?
Suing the labels or just as a result of the battle
I think all of it is one in the same and I love that you a Drake fan and you say some stuff
I'm like, come on, bro, you know, but like what like like not you team Drake. Okay. Hey, I think you said
I think you you are the only person on record that is credible because a lot of people say but you don't incredible person
I know that say Kendrick lost. Mm-hmm. The only person that I know to say that so it's like that's a little like goddamn
I'm seeing more and more people say yo Family Matters was the best record and the Hobies
Algorithm though. Yeah, do you know like like I'm my business partner Alexis is famous for telling me
That's your algorithm because they know what you interested in time when you showed me something totally different. I don't turn your
Here's what I say. Number one
I said Drake is done if he continues the lawsuit because what happens is is you're acting like a
Karen now you got to understand rap is about being the coolest nigga rap is about being effortless rap is like I woke up great
