Lucian Grainge, CEO of Universal Music Group, slammed Drake’s allegation that he was personally behind the release and promotion of Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us” in a letter to the court.

Lawbrey is back, and the newest filing in his defamation lawsuit against UMG is making sure nobody forgets. Aside from the audacity of what Drake’s legal team is asking for, the documents fuel some fan theories about the ICEMAN era that were already pinned to corkboards with red yarn.

In a discovery bid, Drake, born Aubrey Graham, urged the court to force UMG and chief executive Lucian Grainge to turn over the label’s contract with Lamar, as well as information relating to allegations of domestic violence and other crimes committed by the Compton rapper.

Drake's legal push to unseal Kendrick Lamar's contract has UMG warning that public access could cripple its artist negotiations.

Judge Jeannette Vargas of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York granted Drake ‘s “motion for alternative service” on Kojo Menne Asamoah, allowing the rapper’s legal team to serve legal papers to Asamoah and his business ventures.

What started as cryptic posts on his finsta (a Kimi Raikkonen photo here and a Top Gun reference there) has turned into a full-blown hybrid rollout of livestream “episodes” and new singles teasing his upcoming album.
