Drake accuses UMG of using bots and conspiring with Spotify to make Not Like Us go viral

Drake says the popularity of Not Like Us was artificially inflated with the help of bots and Spotify.

The Canadian rapper has filed a petition in New York's Supreme Court, accusing Universal Music Group of using bots and paying Spotify, Apple and other entities to "artificially inflate the spread of Not Like Us and "deceiving consumers" into believing that "it was more popular than it was in reality." Drake's camp filed the petition to seek pre-action discovery in order to prepare a lawsuit accusing UMG of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
