The second civil suit for defamation, filed against both iHeartMedia and UMG, accuses the companies of knowingly damaging Drake’s reputation. iHeartMedia, headquartered in San Antonio, is named as a co-defendant alongside UMG in this case.

Rapper alleges he already has sufficient evidence to pursue a defamation action over "pedophile" line but “currently lacks" evidence to sue his record label for racketeering

In the new filing, Drake’s attorneys (by way of Frozen Moments, LLC) claim UMG “could have refused to release or distribute the song or required the offending material to be edited and/or removed. But UMG chose to do the opposite.

Drake adds another filing in his feud with Universal Music Group alleging defamation in favor of Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us."

Drake has hit us with another back-to-back. And no we’re not talking about music, I’m talking about legal action.
