    The lawsuit specifically claims to have proof UMG entered into an arrangement with Spotify under which UMG accepted less royalties per stream in exchange for promotion, and states UMG’s Interscope division had motivation to inflate streams to mislead shareholders into inflating bonuses for their division CEO. It also claims to have knowledge employees were fired in retaliation for their involvement with this

    There’s a lot of frivolous bullshit in the lawsuit too, but given Drake has a relationship with UMG through Republic, this really seems like he has some gripe with the label behind the scenes and it’s not about the beef directly. The suit isn’t a full lawsuit but an attempt to essentially get the state to subpoena evidence from UMG and Spotify. It seems like this is a last resort to try and force certain information public - not saying if it’s a good decision or not, but he has a real firm handling it

    Thanks for the breakdown

    UMG will spend a billion in lawyer fees before they ever admit an ounce of wrongdoing

    Drake is a fool for trying to sue them whatsoever

    I wonder what else is at Stake?

    There wasn’t an example of a song being pushed by labels before NLU?

    again, yall dont know what exactly we are talking about here. They are alleging fraudulent manipulation and cooperation with Spotify and AM that breaks the fiduciary duty that UMG owes its artist.

    This is not merely a case of "suing cuz they pushed a song". They push music all the time. There's a diff between that and doing what UMG is alleged to have been doing for NLU

    let me tell you something...

    no the f*** they won't

  • Nov 26, 2024

    Drake’s main piece of evidence is a “hacker” that appeared on an Akademiks stream claiming that he was given points on a record in exchange for fake streams, a claim that Akademiks himself even questioned

  • bro wants the recoup on that Tyson fight lmao

    Thank you. You and @OvOJersey can explain this s*** way better than I can.

    To be clear, unless Drake's pockets are hurting I'm not sure this is worth it. This is an awful, awful look.

    But the fact that he went forward with it anyway, despite the optics, suggest that perhaps there's some legs to what they've already found and included in this (not yet) yet lawsuit.

    I think...IMO, it makes sense that in the midst of negotiating a new 400M deal w/UMG, you'd take legal action if you felt that a record by a UMG artist, that was released on the same label that you're on greatly impacted potential and future earnings because of illegal tactics, as lame as it looks optically.

    no the f*** they won't

    If they admit to this, it would topple the music industry as we know it. This is never going to happen

    (Also because it’s obviously not f***ing true)

    Understood. Thanks for the breakdown man

    No problem, I think people are having fun clowning Drake - and I get it, because there is some real bullshit in this filing - but people don’t get how lawsuits work. Frivolous and dumb claims are included because the point is very literally to paint a biased picture exaggerating harm done to the defendant. The Epic Games vs Apple lawsuit is a great example of this, if anyone wants proof of huge businesses making small frivolous bullshit claims. If the state allows the trial to proceed with discovery there’s some real crazy s*** that will likely come out from labels and Spotify here. I don’t think this is about Kendrick at all really, this seems more like Drake suicide bombing the industry
