Universal Music Group BLASTS Drake’s “Contrived & Absurd” Legal Filing Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’

Universal Music Group has wasted no time responding to Drake‘s legal filing regarding Kendrick Lamar‘s ‘Not Like Us.’

As reported, the Canadian MC filed what amounts to a pre-litigation submission, accusing both UMG and Spotify of launching a “scheme” to inflate Lamar’s song – a diss track aimed at him – via various methods.

The shocking move left jaws ajar as Drake has been signed to UMG for the length of his spell in the spotlight.

Now, UMG has blasted the filing as “contrived and absurd.”

Full story below…

A statement issued moments ago read:

“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 arguments in this pre-action submission can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”

No word from Drake…yet.
