Forget the question Drake‘s street cred (just for a moment) because it’s his lawyers who obviously know very little about it. Kendrick Lamar … the guy who wrote the song they’re suing UMG for.
The bulk of Drake’s 81-page defamation lawsuit over “Not Like Us” concerns the Toronto rapper’s diss track, as the song “repeatedly suggests that Drake should be abused because he is a child abuser” and ” The recording repeats “wop, wop, wop, wo” and then says that Lamar is “gonna go.”
But that’s where Drake’s legal team comes out on their skis, writing… “The recording later threatens that if Drake comes to Oakland, where Lamar grew up, he won’t make it out alive; “I think the Oakland show will pass. ‘Be your last stop.’

We’re guessing Drake didn’t proofread his lawyers because, like all hip hop fans, he’s fully aware that K. Dot was born and raised in Compton, not the Bay Area.
Of course, Kendrick only made the Oakland reference because Drake used an AI-generated Tupac voice on his diss track “Taylor Made.” “Pac is someone who spent his 20s in Oakland, so KL’s song just suggests that Oaktown won’t forgive Drake.
We know, we know … the basics of hip hop.
TMZ told… Drake has dropped the suit against his own label, blasting UMG for releasing and promoting a song that calls him a “certified pedophile,” which he denies and says UMG knows is false.
Many fans and streamers believe that filing a lawsuit over the rap beef will cost Drake some street cred, even more than losing the feud. His attorneys’ typos don’t help matters.
