Universal Music Group prompted Drake's latest libel lawsuit to dismiss Drake's latest libel lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar, writing that the rapper's allegations against the music giant are "no more than Drake's attempt to save his unsuccessful rap battle with Lamar."

The motion comes weeks after Drake filed an amended lawsuit against his own record label, his own record company’s case, claiming that Lamar’s Super Bowl performance—Lamar omitted the term “pedophile” during “Don’t Like Us”—affirmed that his lyrics were defamatory.

UMG's sacking motion was filed Wednesday night and reviewed Hollywood Reporter, The company called Drake's statement "stunning", further noting that Lamar did not use the term "pedophile" and "betrayed the situation: Drake attacked the commercial and creative success of the rap artist who defeated him, not the content of Lamar's lyrics."

"The revised complaint has no advantage and should be biased," Umg said.

Drake first sued UMG in a January song release, not Lamar, which claimed the company “decided to publish, promote, exploit, exploit and monetize allegations that it is not only false, but dangerous.” Drake’s initial complaint said: “UMG does this not because it believes these false claims are true, but because it will profit from the damage to Drake’s reputation.”

The song became one of the biggest songs of 2024 and won a Grammy Award in February for both record and song of the year. Drake's team said in a suit that the rapper has been the subject of harassment since the song was released. Before the amended complaint, Drake's team was awarded documents seeking Kendrick Lamar's record deal and Interscope CEO John Janick's rewards program. Representatives of Drake's legal team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on UMG's motion to dismiss.

UMG's motion seems to try to portray Drake's legal conduct as hypocritical behavior, as the company said: "Drake is happy to use UMG's platform to promote the track of similar burning attacks in Lamar, including Lamar's engaging in domestic abuse, and one of Lamar's managers is the real father of Lamar's son." Um said Drake called "not like us" slanderous only after he lost the fight.

UMG also claims that the "whole history of rap" is known for "a series of hyperbolic insults" and that the art form "will be "refrigerated" if Drake's lawsuit is allowed to continue.

The company issued a lengthy statement late Wednesday, writing: "In the more than one hundred pages of "laws" written by Drake's lawyers, they were reluctant to admit that Drake himself had written and performed a large number of successful songs, containing ridicule of equally provocative taunts to other artists."

The company also claims that Drake’s legal team is looking for “proof of a song that shocks Drake with a huge global appeal, but nothing to “reveal”.

By working tirelessly with our artists, we have achieved global success for them and their music. Our ongoing partnership with Drake and his lasting success are a brilliant role model,” Umger said. “While his attorneys try to silence other artists and threaten the companies they work with, we remain committed to promoting Drake’s career while maintaining our firm support for creative expressions of all artists. Including Drake. ”
