Drake’s ongoing legal battle with his label, Universal Music Group, has escalated. The artist filed a lawsuit in federal court today, accusing UMG of harming his reputation and endangering him for profit.

Drake filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group, claiming the music giant defamed him by promoting Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us."

Drake is going after UMG for putting out and promoting "Not Like Us," which references the Canadian rap star as a child predator. However, Los Angeles defamation and media law attorney Tre Lovell, of The Lovell Firm, believes the OVO head honcho has a slim chance of coming out victorious.
