Speaker 1 (00:01):
When you need to know she's got you. It's three. Well,
good morning, we're just before nine o'clock.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
At nine oh five, I have a chance for you
to secure free trips to Miami for next month. I
heart radio jingle Balls in Miami right before Christmas. All right,
let's start off with Drake. I never thought I would
see this man kind of look a little desperate. At
least that's how it's coming off to me. Drake's company
(00:31):
has filed a lawsuit against UMG and Spotify, essentially saying
that UMG in Spotify used bots in different technologies to
inflate the success of Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us brief
Kendrick and Drake history Not Like Us was pretty much
(00:52):
what sealed the deal as Kendrick being the quote winner
depends on how you look at it.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I think it's a personal opinion.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
But the song went number and that's usually like a
clear indication, right and right after that, Kendrick said nothing
but success with the album release, the super Bowl halftime
show announcement, etc.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Etc. So Drake has filed a lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Like I said, against them, Well, not necessarily a lawsuit.
It's called a pre action petition, which is a procedure
under New York law that aims to secure information before
filing the lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Drake's lawyers said.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
UMG did not rely on chance or even ordinary business practices.
It instead launched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the
streaming services and airwaves, essentially accusing UMG of rico, which
is under the Corrupt Organizations Act.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I am so curious to see how this plays out now.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Mind you, Drake and Kendrick are both represented by UMG
that stands for Universal Music Group, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Just surprised by this. I feel like this does not
look good.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It just doesn't look that good.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Doesn't look that good.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
When there's more on that one, I'll have it for you.
Both of them, by the way, have like their own things.
But a lot of times artists use major label groups
like a UMG to distribute.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So we'll see what comes of this. Oh.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
By the way, MG UMG said that they are sharply
denying Drake's allegation. Quote the suggestion that UMG would do
anything to undermine any of its artists is offensive and untrue.
We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and
promotional campaigns. No amount of contrived and absurd legal argument
in this pre action submission can mask the fact that
(02:41):
fans choose.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
The music the way they want to hear.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Wondering if Drake will move on from UMG with this
or after this, all right, I would say UMG is
probably one of the biggest second In three.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Things you need to know this morning, is it me?
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I posted about this on X yesterday or have of
the celebrity lookalike competitions kind of blown up and gotten
a little out of hand at this point. First one

to that one. I saw one for Jeremy Allen. The
latest is Glenn Powell, and a lucky winner.
Speaker 1 (03:14):

Speaker 2 (03:17):
The winner of the Glen Powell lookalike contest wins their
parents or any family member of their choice a cameo in.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
My next movie. I am completely serious. This is a
cash value prize of six billion dollars. It's got not
a hand. Although I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (03:34):

try to show up and get in that movie, all right.
