- NFL. Chiefs GM Brett Veach spills beans on draft strategy and makes stunning ission about state of team's roster
- NFL. Jason Kelce has a new sports plan that Travis Kelce applauds and will follow in Maxx Crosby's footsteps
A new episode in the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has arrived, and the battle between the two singers is heating up, not so much on the mic, but in the courtroom.
According to sources, Drake has once again filed a lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar and Universal Music, this time over the performance of "Not Like Us" at the Super Bowl halftime show.
"The recording was made during the 2025 Super Bowl and broadcast to the largest audience for a Super Bowl halftime show in history, more than 133 million people, including millions of children and millions more who had never heard the song or any of the songs that preceded it,"Drake's legal team said in the Manhattan court filing.
But that wasn't all, as it seems they left a message that felt like a warning to the NFL, commenting: "It was the first, and hopefully the last, Super Bowl halftime show orchestrated to assassinate the character of another artist."
Drake's team takes action a few months after the Super Bowl
Super Bowl LIX was one of the most watched sporting events in the United States in many years, a statistic Drake's legal team used in court in their quest for justice and an end to the defamation.
The lawsuit argues that Kendrick Lamar's decision to exclude the term "pedophile" from his Super Bowl show shows that even he recognizes its defamatory nature.
It also points out that Universal Music allegedly used financial resources and strategic connections to position him as the central figure of the show and increase his media exposure.
Drake's reputation was left in tatters
In the lawsuit, the Canadian singer's legal team alleges damages from a shooting, burglaries, online harassment and pedophilia allegations that damaged his reputation and brand.
In this case, Universal Music is defending itself and trying to get the lawsuit dismissed, arguing that Drake provoked the "rap battle" and will not accept defeat at the hands of Lamar.
It seems that this war has several chapters left and does not seem to be ending anytime soon. We will see which of the two breaks the silence by speaking publicly about this issue, as Drake has remained silent about everything that happened with Lamar at the Super Bowl.
