Nah what's the point of being independent if a label still controls your moves like that.

He might be motivated cause he has a relationship with interscope, but at the end of the day there's nothing they would be able to do about it

1. TMZ is not a valid source of information, they will report anything that gets them money

2. Drake is clearly doing damage control by using them as a mouthpiece, they put out an article denying the daughter rumors according to “sources close to Drake”. It’s the same tactic the Kardashians have used for years

It’s so sad how many people are just falling for misinformation during this beef. This election cycle is gonna be scary

I never said they "control his moves". If they did, he would've never crashed on Drake like this. I'm saying that as a business partner, it would be beneficial to his working relationship with them if he wants to keep licensing future releases with Interscope.

he had opportunity to leave after Mr. Morale & didn't. even though they kinda dropped the ball a few yrs ago by dropping TPAB early. so he probably wants to maintain some type of partnership in the future

I mean it just depends on what he values more, his relationship with UMG or the beef. He has more leverage in the matter since he's a major artist and can just license his music somewhere else

The rumor literally started from a discord, with a headline that there's no proof of the claims. Tmz definitely more reliable than that man lol

I’m a UMG executive and can confirm we did indeed have a meeting about this

it was just a bad leak they said in the post source not confirmed take it with a grain of salt it eez what it eez

this

People talking out of their ass loud and proud... discourse on the Internet will never be the same...

Just because TMZ put out a statement that UMG aren't getting themselves involved, knowing how labels move they for sure are. I'm not sure if they're telling Kendrick to stop or just doing clean up on social media or what but to think they're letting this happen is very naive. You are going to try and protect a 400m asset as much as you can.

So did the Like That C&D rumor and y’all didn’t believe that until metro posted it.

In times like this you cannot trust anything that these for-profit gossip publications post, they’re just reporting whatever they’re being paid to report

Imagine believing anything Metro posts broski come on

The guy posted a PHOTOSHOPPED screenshot of drake feening for Billie Eilish

How the brother that dumb, youd think theyd know what's real or not with them actually being in the industry

Metro had receipts, it was a personal text message from weeks before that rumor leaked on Discord

Still cant trust that guy with him posting fake s*** and not even realising

The burden of proof still on Drake and Kendrick to prove their claims in this last round

no s***

Maybe the Zoom meeting isn’t the exact version of what happened, but you’re extremely naive if you think UMG isn’t stepping in to protect their $500m asset

You just proving that you already created a narrative in your head and are now looking for something to back it up as opposed to the other way around

Just wait, all the receipts on this stuff is bound to come out, no way we let them both just make insane allegations and shrug it off

TMZ is a more valid source than the “Trust me bro” rumor that initially dropped

TMZ is not a valid source whatsoever. We’ve seen other pertinent information about this beef leak via the forums

Come on man I can admit Drake took an L but Kendrick stans are dragging this s***

Duh we believe anything on this forum but anyone with a brain knows that s*** was fake

TMZ has been a valid source FOR YEARS. At least they are a real company who is responsible legally if they lie.

You niggas take any ss and run with it.

ur lying to urself if u think UMG isn't doing anything about this

Yeah man imma totally believe some random nigga on a blog or Twitter over the company that leaked Jay getting slapped up in the Mercer 😭
