This statement from a member of UMG’s leadership about the RAP Act is interesting. When Drake sent UMG a retraction request to inform the public that nothing in “Not Like Us” was truth, it was ignored. Instead UMG continued promotion of the defamatory content with no disclaimer.

In summary, an approved bill banning the use of lyrics in criminal and civil trials would dismantle Drake's case against UMG. "Not Like Us" is defamation per se through song. For a case UMG has spent 6+ months calling "frivolous", UMG is now using its power and influence to.

Although it is not a defendant in Drake's lawsuit, the Grammys/Recording Academy is named as an alleged recipient of financial benefits from UMG in exchange for Grammy nominations and eventual wins given to Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us". This would be extremely damaging for the.

It appears that UMG Recordings is finally coming to terms with the reality that Drake's defamation lawsuit will likely move forward. Ironically, UMG Recordings is running to the same legal system for protection that it criticized Drake for using. By backing lawmakers' push for.

Professionalism from these platforms needs to be brought back to the forefront and there needs to be some accountability for this type of behavior.

Paulina Mangubat, you are the Digital Content Director for the Democrats X account. What are you trying to insinuate by including Drake in animations related to sex crimes? Are you aware that Drake is suing UMG for defamation? Would you like to be sued next? @paulinaVEVO.

PMC owned media brands and their coverage of Drake’s case against UMG. After no updates on the case since May 8, Billboard published a story on Monday about the witness lists. Vibe Magazine appears to be the only PMC owned media brand that reported the June 30 hearing.
