Is this the future of rap beefs? Is Drake over after this? Is this move going to affect Drake’s career? Drake has filed two legal actions accusing music giant UMG—the company he’s currently in a deal with—and streaming service Spotify of conspiring to artificially inflate Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” numbers by means of bots and payola. This is not an official lawsuit yet, but rather pre-action petitions.
The rapper is also accusing UMG of defamation and claiming the company funneled payments to iHeartRadio in a pay-to-play scheme to promote “Not Like Us” on radio.
What do you think this means for the future of rap?

“im petty with dedication” lol you dont say?
Do you think this move will affect Drake’s career?
yes
who?
Drake has never lost a beef.
I think XXL maxed out in 2016 and hasn’t done anything good sense. (Excluding putting X on 17’)
Btw I am not defending drake at all I’m so glad he’s going to be gone soon this is just a random vent lol
I mean wasn’t Drake playing the song on his tour?
Am I the only one who feel like whosoever that’s reading this sounds like a Drake fan . He is reading it like Drake in the right
