Lamar is not named in the suit, but Drake alleges that Universal “approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track” that was “intended to convey the specific, unmistakable, and false factual allegation that Drake is a criminal pedophile, and to suggest that the public should resort to vigilante justice in response.”.
While Drake has yet to directly address Lamar’s halftime show, as well as his five Grammy wins stemming from “Not Like Us” the week prior, the “One Dance” hitmaker seemingly made an indirect reference to it during his Monday concert in Melbourne.
In the original recording of the song, the second verse ends with: “Beef is live, spoiler alert, this n***a dies.” However, during his show, Drake changed the lyrics to: “Beef is live, spoiler alert, I never died.”.
On Sunday, Lamar performed a medley of some of his biggest hits, including his chart-topping Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” which includes multiple references to the “God’s Plan” artist’s alleged interactions with younger women.
The 38-year-old Canadian rapper couldn’t escape the headlines declaring he had officially been finished by Lamar’s impish delivery of the song’s popular line: “Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young.”.
