In the suit, Drake said Universal Music Group "knew full well" the lyrics, images, and music video by the Compton rapper referred to him as a pedophile, according to TMZ. Drake claimed Universal Music Group went to great lengths to turn Lamar's diss track into a "chart-topping" anthem.
The Canadian rapper, born Aubrey Drake Graham, also said the record label played a role in ensuring Lamar headlined the upcoming Super Bowl half-time show. More to follow...
