Drake Withdraws Lawsuit Against Spotify & UMG


We can close this weird chapter in the Drake vs. Kendrick beef.

After accusing UMG and Spotify of allegedly using unethical methods to boost Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” Drake has officially withdrawn his petition against the two companies.

A publicly available document stated, “The petitioner hereby voluntarily discontinues this special proceeding as to all Respondents without costs to any party.” This likely indicates that a settlement was reached between the parties involved.





The main question people will ask is whether Drake emerged victorious in this situation—and that largely depends on perspective. On the one hand, securing a settlement from major corporations can be seen as a win, as it often implies the other party wanted to quietly resolve the matter. It also bolsters the idea that Drake’s claims had some merit. However, on the other hand, the optics of suing over a diss track that went viral may not sit well with fans or critics, potentially tarnishing his image. Regardless, I’m just glad this chapter is finally closed.

What’s the chance that UMG and Spotify asked Drake to “drop, drop, drop” the lawsuit?
