WATCH THE VIDEO HERE UMG has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to dismiss Drake’s lawsuit against them. The record label claims that it is their function to facilitate free speech and, that Drake’s lawsuit against them is “retaliatory,” and that the filing in Texas was unnecessary as they do not even have an office in the state and that he’s already taken legal action against them in New York. UMG is also requesting a suspension of discovery and legal fees, meaning they want Drake to be responsible for all of their court costs and allege the Canadian rapper’s filing is an “apparent effort to limit the distribution of ‘Not Like Us.’” There has been speculation that Drake’s lawsuit was filed to prevent Kendrick from performing “Not Like Us” at next month’s Super Bowl performance. The filing also alleges that Drake threatened to sue the label if they did not “mediate” the situation between him and Kendrick. UMG states that Drake’s claims are not based on proof, just rumors and speculation.
