Drake appeals dismissal of defamation suit against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s "Not Like Us," arguing the song’s claims harmed his reputation.
Drake has appealed a federal judge’s October 2025 dismissal of his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, challenging the ruling that Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” contained protected artistic expression rather than false factual claims.
The lawsuit alleged UMG promoted the song, which included allegations of pedophilia and manipulated imagery, harming Drake’s reputation and brand.
Judge Jeannette Vargas dismissed the case, citing the hyperbolic, performative nature of rap feuds and lack of evidence for streaming manipulation.
Drake’s appeal, filed October 29, 2025, seeks to overturn that decision, focusing on the label’s role in amplifying defamatory content and the boundaries of free speech in hip-hop.
The outcome could reshape how defamation law applies to artistic expression in music.
