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 filed a second legal action against Universal Music Group, accusing the company of defamation and illegally promoting Kendrick Lamar’s song "Not Like Us" through a "pay-to-play scheme" with iHeartRadio.

Drake filed a second legal action against the record label Universal Music against the promotion of Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us. The papers that were filled in Texas accuse Universal of defaming the star and claim that it could result in stopping the release of the song by blaming him for s-xual abuse.

Drake is making another legal move against Universal Music Group over lyrics in Kendrick Lamar’s smash hit “Not Like Us” that he says are false and how UMG could’ve taken action but allegedly chose to do nothing.
