Drake is thought for his pop hits and rap disses, however clearly, he’s not a giant fan of shedding.
As The Root beforehand reported, Drake’s lawsuit stems from his rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. After the Compton rapper most notably dropped “Not Like Us,” the track of the 2024 summer season, Drake’s been on a mission to cease followers from rapping the catchy “licensed pedophile” and “A minorrrrr” lyrics. His mission was solely furthered when Lamar took to the Tremendous Bowl halftime stage to diss Drizzy in entrance of the entire world.
It was that efficiency which the Canadian rapper claimed “defamed” him. With all of the talks of defamation, let’s flash again in time to recollect when Drake dissed rappers and actual folks for his private profit.
Megan Thee Stallion
After Megan Thee Stallion was shot by Canadian singer Tory Lanez, many within the music business picked a facet. And Drake, surprisingly, had essentially the most to say concerning the Texas star. On the track “Circo Loco,” Drake rapped “This b***h lie ’bout getting pictures, however she nonetheless a stallion.”
Lanez was discovered responsible of the 2020 taking pictures and sentenced to 10 years behind bars. Him and Meg have since gone forwards and backwards within the courts over points linked to the case.
Kendrick Lamar
Let’s not neglect Drake virtually begged Lamar to diss him after releasing “Push Ups,” taunting the “Alright” rapper’s measurement and rap expertise. Drake rapped “How the f**ok you large steppin’ with a measurement seven males’s on/ Your final one bricked, you actually not on s**t / They make excuses for you ’trigger they hate to see me lit.”
If that wasn’t sufficient, Drake continued calling out Lamar saying, “Pull your contract ’trigger we gotta see the break up/ Ain’t no approach you doin’ splits b***h your pants may rip.” These lyrics imply slightly extra now since a decide dominated Drake might pursue UMG’s paperwork concerning the Tremendous Bowl efficiency and even Lamar’s file contract.
Rick Ross
The meat between Drake and Rick Ross began when Ross unfollowed Drake on Instagram final 12 months. Apparently, the Candaian pop star wasn’t too comfortable about that, so he took issues to the sales space. “I’d take your newest lady and cuff her like Ricky/ Can’t consider he’s leaping in, this nigga turning 50,” he rapped on a leaked diss monitor.
And that wasn’t all! Drake went on to say “Each track that made it on the chart he bought from Drizzy.” This has some fact to it as three of Ross’ six Billboard charting songs featured Drake.
Serena Williams
In 2022, Drake got here for the Olympic athlete and her man in “Center of the Ocean” rapping, “Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie / He declare we don’t bought an issue however no, boo, it’s such as you comin’ for sushi.” When you don’t recall, Williams and Drake briefly dated over a decade in the past. Ever since then, it looks like the “Hotline Bling” singer can’t simply be comfortable for his ex.
Alexis Ohanian, Williams’ husband, responded to Drake in a tweet saying “The rationale I keep profitable is as a result of I’m relentless about being the best possible at no matter I do — together with being the most effective groupie for my spouse & daughter.”
So whereas Drake is about on making UMG pay for his or her alleged position in “defaming” him, we now have to recollect who’s the actual professional at disses and daring claims. His lawsuit continues to be in its early phases. It’s anticipated to go to trial in 2026.
