Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s rap feud continues as Drake begins legal action against Lamar’s track “Not Like Us.”
Earlier this year, the two hip-hop giants’ years-long resentment culminated in an explosive diss track battle.
Lamar’s final diss track “Not Like Us” was the biggest hit of the battle, crowning Lamar the winner in the public sphere. “Not Like Us,” which contains lyrics calling Drake a pedophile, topped the Billboard 100 charts for two weeks and received five Grammy nominations.
Now, Drake is disputing the song’s success.
On Monday morning, Drake’s company, Frozen Moments, filed a pre-action petition in a New York court against Spotify and Universal Music Group (UMG), the record company that owns Lamar’s label Interscope and Drake’s label Republic Records.
