This is why Kendrick winning those 5 Grammys was crucial.

They could take the song off every streaming platform today and ppl would still be talking about NLU and that Grammy moment 20 yrs from now. Once Kendrick won those Grammys I stopped caring what happens to the track.

I’ve got the mp3 and that’s all I need

high unlikely they did the same s*** for Drake songs but sure we can agree there.

Their motion to dismiss clearly said that Drake is not a pdf and everyone on earth that's sensible knows what's in the song isn't true so now they somehow got evidence of his criminal activity in the song and buried it???

love when people with no legal background comment on here "but do you even have any legal training?"

we all putting fries in the bag but some acting like they professional lawyers

Funny watching Drake stans act like they’re anti-major label when just last year they were salivating at the idea of Drake & Lucian having their hands in the pots of every major rapper’s contracts

🤣🤣
u Naija too

i feel like kanye being apart of the 20v1 is like u joining ur homie jumping someone u dont like then that nigga brings out a gun (NLU)

like we killing niggas?

i hate u

How is it highly unlikely? Anything is capable of being faked

Celebrities not being entitled to the same level of privacy/protected from criticism to the same extent as a normal person is a concept accepted and applied in multiple jurisdictions around the world. A celebrity relying on social media comments in a defamation lawsuit is actually silly

Once again, I say ''small stories'' in the scope of the lawsuit - you should understand this if you are practicing. How well-known those stories were among the general public is the only thing that matters in a defamation lawsuit - before NLU, those stories didn't cause him financial and social damage. The song and UMG's involvement in pushing it has caused significant damage - as per the lawsuit. There's a before and there's an after and the difference is huge.

There is legal ground for the lawsuit but as I've said multiple times, it's UMG's case to lose

Lmao UMG said “don’t tell no lies about me, and I won’t tell truths about you”

yea I think that's what makes this case unique. He's not suing individuals, he's suing a corporation that 'knowingly distributed' fake news

Wouldn't that make the case stronger for drake

I do wonder if its less about privacy/criticism and more about disproving UMGs claims. UMG basically claimed that no reasonable person could believe Drake is actually a pedo, and Drakes team responded with "well heres a bunch of people, some must be reasonable, believing drake is actually a pedo"

I'm not a lawyer so I don't know how that stands the test of law, but it sort of makes sense to me in that context?

What financial and social damage has it caused him? I haven't read the papers and I'm not going to but I'm willing to be enlightened if you're going to use this condescending tone with me.

so now they worried about something affecting his bag and reputation, after blasting that he is a pdfile for a whole year and killing his character

the audacity

I am not using a condescending tone, simply responding back in the same manner. You were initially dismissing my points despite our main conclusions being the same lol.

We anti UMG trying to defame the boy
When its all said and done he gone own all them rappers contracts and rename the label UAOVOMG

"you should understand this if you are practicing" was unnecessary and sassy af. So I'm going to ask what financial and social damage has the song caused Drake? Should be easy to find in the papers

unfortunately the public isn't who decides this time around tho

that's peace tho

ill try to answer genuinely and not condescending lmfao

iirc in the lawsuit it was mentioned he had his house shot, he had people break into his property, he had to move schools for adonis and he had his ovo stores vandalized, all post-beef.

That sentence came after you said ''I don't completely disagree with your post, but there's the usual falsifying and misrepresentations you do to defend Drake.''. You took it there. And I actually thought it was obvious for someone in the legal field that ''small stories'' was said in the context of the lawsuit. We all witnessed the beef and have seen old white people who aren't fans of hip-hop suddenly describe Drake with words from the beef.

The basis for defamation (and any delictual claim) is harm/loss suffered. Defamation is specifically harm/loss to reputation. Using social media posts about a celebrity as prove of harm/loss to their reputation is just shaky af imo

Accounts linked to popular podcasts, sports teams etc, maybe. But even then, it's a celebrity involved in a massive beef that was dominating public discourse so of course those accounts are posting about it
