Highlights
  • A federal judge dismissed Drake’s defamation suit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us, ruling the feud track is nonactionable in this context.
  • Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled that the statements in Not Like Us are nonactionable opinion, not factual assertions about Drake, thus lacking a basis for a defamation claim.
  • The ruling reinforces that diss tracks rely on hyperbole and personal attacks rather than verifiable facts, keeping Not Like Us outside defamation concerns.
