Drake withdraws accusation that UMG and Spotify illegally boosted Kendrick Lamar’s diss track
Other action against “Not Like Us” remains active, however.
Drake has withdrawn the petition he raised accusing Spotify and Universal Music Group (UMG) of illegally boosting Kendrick Lamar‘s diss track “Not Like Us.” According to documents filed with the New York Supreme Court on Tuesday, the pre-action case is being discontinued with no financial cost to any of the parties involved. The petition, or “pre-action case,” isn’t a full lawsuit — it refers to a stage of litigation that seeks information from each party and allows time for issues to be resolved before disputes are escalated to court. A second legal petition was also filed by Drake in November that accused UMG of funneling payments to iHeartRadio to promote Lamar’s diss track.
