Drake's legal team said Universal Music Group used its resources to "elevate a dangerous and inflammatory message that was designed to assassinate Drake’s character."

Drake is battling his own record label over a song that is the lynchpin of a now legendary hip-hop feud.

According to Drake’s suit, UMG went to such lengths to promote the song as hiring a bot farm and employing a payola scheme with at least one radio station. Finally, Drake even asserts that “Not Like Us” put him in physical danger; there have been shootings reported near his home since its release, with at least one injuring his security guard.
