Sorry, we take it back: Drake is very clearly still bothered about Kendrick Lamar. How do we know? Well, the man just took legal action against Lamar’s label and Spotify, alleging a conspiracy to inflate numbers for “Not Like Us” amid their beef earlier this year. Frozen Moments LLC, one of Drake’s companies, has made a filing against Universal Music Group and Spotify, claiming there had been an illegal “scheme” to boost “Not Like Us” using bots and payola, Billboard reports. Drake went as far as accusing UMG of violating the federal RICO act — that is, of a criminal conspiracy to support “Not Like Us.” Drake’s filing isn’t a lawsuit but a pre-action petition, which helps acquire information ahead of a lawsuit. But it’s still a notable move, especially against UMG, which not only distributes Lamar’s music through Interscope Records but also owns Drake’s label, Republic Records. How’s Kendrick taking this, you wonder? He’s just dancing.
