Drake is a 38-year-old Canadian rapper and singer, five-time Grammy winner, and 37-year-old Pulitzer Prize winner Lamar, who has won 22 Grammy Awards, has been joining for years. In recent years, this hatred has been one of the biggest hatreds of hip-hop.
Both are occasionally collaborators over a decade ago, but Lamar began publicly jabs at Drake since 2013. The fight escalated sharply last year as both released Diss tracks between each other, including Lamar’s “Don’t Like Us.”
“The recording was conducted during the Super Bowl in 2025 and broadcasts more than 133 million people ever, including millions of children, and millions of songs that have never heard of the song or any of the songs before,” AP filed an amended lawsuit in the federal court in Manhattan on Wednesday.
It added: “This is the first, expected to be the last Super Bowl halftime show, planning the role of the assassination of another artist.”
Although Lamar removed the term “pedophile” on the track during the half-time show, the fact that “almost everyone knows it is defamatory”. It also alleged that universal music used economic interests and leveraged business relationships to secure Lamar’s headlines in the Super Bowl and facilitated performances. “Drake’s revised complaint makes an already strong case stronger,” his attorney Michael Gottlieb said in a statement. “Drake will reveal evidence of UMG’s misconduct and UMG will be responsible for the consequences of the decision it conceives,” Nielsen said.
In a statement responding to a court application, the parent record label of both artists generally continued to deny Drake’s allegations.
“There is no doubt that Drake is one of the most accomplished artists in the world, and we have a 16-year successful relationship with them, and his legal representative misled his legal representative and took another ridiculous legal step,” the company said. “It’s shameful that these stupid and frivolous legal dramas continue.”
The amended lawsuit also added that the slander part of “Don’t Like Us” was played at the Grammy Awards in February, when the single won five awards, including Song of the Year and Record. General Music also helped get a Grammy nomination and allowed the song to be played at the ceremony, the lawsuit claims.
Drake sued universal music in January but did not sue Lamar, but said the company published “not like us” despite the company’s pedophile allegations being false and suggested that listeners should resort to vigilant justice.
The lawsuit says the result was that the intruders shot a security guard at Drake’s Toronto home, where two attempts to break in, hate and harassment were hit by his reputation and his brand value was reduced before renegotiation with UMG this year. The revised lawsuit also added more online comments, suggesting that people believe that pedophile allegations are considered.
