Universal Music Group Recordings Inc. has filed a motion to dismiss Drake’s defamation lawsuit over the recording label’s release of Kendrick Lamar’s hit track “Not Like Us.”
In January, Drake accused UMG — which he is also signed to — of spreading the “false and malicious narrative” that he is a pedophile with the release of Lamar’s song, which includes the lyrics: “Say, Drake, I hear you like em’ young.”
