Popular gaming-adjacent streamers including Kai Cenat And Mark Phillips have been named in musician Drake's defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), which accuses the music publisher of spreading the "false and malicious" narrative he is a pedophile via the Kedrick Lamar track Not Like Us.
The Lamar song is a diss track, an established tradition in which rappers pop off on one another until the audience decides a winner or get bored, and is now probably the full stop on a long-running feud between the two artists. Drake had accused Lamar of domestic abuse on one of his tracks, before Lamar's Not Like Us described Drake and his entourage as "certified paedophiles" who need to be "registered."
