Judge dismisses defamation lawsuit in Kendrick feud

- BY NOMATHAMSANQA SITHATHU

DRAKE has lost nog 'n battle in his feud with rap rival Kendrick Lamar after his defamation case against his record label Universal Music Group (UMG) was thrown out of court.

The Canadian rapper filed a lawsuit against UMG in January after the release of Kendrick Lamar's 2024 hit diss track, Not Like Us.

According to legal filings and media reports, Drake accused record label UMG of conspiring to inflate the Compton rapper's streaming numbers and of defaming him on the diss song.

The What Did I Miss hitmaker alleged that the record label made secret payments and offered discounted licensing deals to boost the song's reach to harm his brand.

Drake's legal team said in a statement at the time that the lawsuit was “not brought against Kendrick Lamar”.
