Drake Set to Appeal “Not Like Us” Defamation Lawsuit Ruling

Drake is not backing down from his UMG lawsuit. Drake has pushed for an appeal in his dismissed lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over Kendrick Lamar single “Not Like Us,” ABC News reports. Three weeks after the lawsuit was dismissed in the Southern District of New York Court by U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas, court reporter Matthew Russell Lee appealed the loss on Wednesday. Drizzy sued UMG, alleging that the music company and the 22-time Grammy winner plotted a takedown against him. Specifically, Drake accused Kendrick of defaming him in the song’s lyrics by alleging that he groomed minors.
