Drake Sues UMG, Spotify! Bots Are the New Beefs…
Drake is attempting to level up the rap beef by going nuclear in court. He’s suing his own label, UMG, and Spotify for allegedly using bots, pay-to-play tactics, and even Siri promotions to give Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” an unfair edge.
Here’s the tea; Drake claims UMG funneled money to a guy named Kojo Menne Asamoah, who then hired bots to inflate Kendrick’s streams, manipulated Spotify algorithms, paid influencers, and even messed with Siri so people ended up playing “Not Like Us” when they asked for Drake.
And yes, the track accused Drake of some wild stuff such as, calling him a pedophile, which he denies in “The Heart Part 6”. But Drake isn’t only clapping back lyrically anymore, he’s bringing legal heat, saying the hype around Kendrick’s song led to real-world threats, including a reported shooting outside his house.
UMG, naturally, says ~ Nah, sis, these allegations are false and offensive. Spotify’s saying nothing, but insiders are sharing that the lawsuit could either trigger a streaming payola reckoning or make Drake look petty AF.
