In its motion to dismiss the lawsuit, Universal Music says Drake helped fuel the beef with his own inflammatory diss tracks aimed at Lamar.
“Plaintiff, one of the most successful recording artists of all time, lost a rap battle that he provoked and in which he willingly participated,” the motion says. “Instead of accepting the loss like the unbothered rap artist he often claims to be, he has sued his own record label in a misguided attempt to salve his wounds.”
What’s certain is that Drake can’t let it go and in continuing to not accept his loss, is further damaging his already tanked reputation.
UMG has until 7 May to file another motion to dismiss the amended complaint.
