Drake Files UMG Defamation Lawsuit

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
One of seven five w GC out of shots number
one for hip hop and R and B Zack Bug.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Let's jump into it our z spot Entertainment report.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Now, yesterday, you know, I reported that Drake had withdrew
his legal petition against Spotify and Universal Music Group. We
were like, hey, Universal Music they Drake, they figured it out.
That's what I said yesterday. But then before we got
off air yesterday before right when we was getting ready
to log off, Drake has officially filed a federal defamation

(00:32):
suit against Universal Music Group.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
But not like us. This is crazy.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
He alleges that Universal spread the false and malicious narrative
that he is a pedophile.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Wow, that's what he That's what he said. Now he's
not suing Kendrick Lamar. You know what I'm saying. He's
actually suing Universal Music Group. All right. So Universal Music
Group shot back.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
They said, not only are these claims untrue, but the
notion that we would seek to harm the reputation of
any artists, let alone Drake, is illogical.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
He said.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
We have invested massively in his music, and our employees
around the world have worked tiresly for many years to
help him achieve historic commercial and personal financial success. All right,
So the lawsuit. Drake's lawsuit also claims that UMG Universal

(01:26):
Music Group knew that the statements that Kendrick said about
Drake were false, but chose to place corporate greed over
the safety and well being of its artists. God. So
then UMG came back and responded and said, Hey, Drake
himself has often engaged in rap beef's featuring bombastic claims

(01:49):
about his opponents, the very thing that he now claims
is illegal. So they're saying that Drake has intentionally unsuccessfully
dissed to other people and we distributed that. Now he's
trying to silence.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh, you know what this is.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
He's trying to silence.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know what this is about. We talked about this today.
You know what it's about. I want to create. I
want to create as much controversy and chaos about that song.
So my man don't perform it and have time at
one of the biggest, most watched events.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
In the world. But here's the thing I say.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
If I'm Kendrick, I'm about okay, i ain't gonna perform it,
but I'm gonna play the beat and I'm gonna cry
and let the crowd scream, and I'll make sure they
got cameras to look at the crowd as they wrap
every way.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
And you know what part I would do.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I would take the mic and be like New Orleans
has been real, but I'm trying to catch your core.
Probably hey boy, you just go now, walk off the stage.
That's all this is. This is I want to get it.
Create enough controversy about this song where the NFL say, hey, look,
maybe you shouldn't do this song because we don't want

(02:56):
that nonsense. That's all this is. And Drake, this man,
it's under the category of.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Three O four. For me, this is the worst. It's
a three four move.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I have never seen anybody bait somebody in a rap bottle. Literally,
Drake was saying, hey man, put out something. Remember then
he put out if you bad, come on Kendrick. He
had Tupac talking to him and everything Snoop Dogg and
did you get beat? Now you're saying it's you suing.
This is the weakest thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
And you not in hip hop suing Kendred, you literally
suing the music music.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
They let it come out. They represent both of y'all
and they didn't write it. They didn't.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
They was like, okay, y'all did. It's like it's like
you the parent and the siblings are fighting. They wrestling
with each other, all right, and the jazz a bitch
won't grab him no more. Leave your little brother alone,
no in fight.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
And now you're mad that a little brother mad and
they daddy, he should have stopped him. No, this is crazy.
He tell how this looks.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
He kept taking his toys, he got kind of he
got up, he handled you. Now you're mad at me.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
All right, let's move in this man, I want to talk.
Do we have time to get it in? Okay, I'll
get it in at the next Z spot.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Don't move, she ci i
