Kendrick Lamar feud escalates as Drake takes legal action in San Antonio court

Rapper Kendrick Lamar dropped "Not Like Us" in May, effectively shutting down a widely publicized rap feud with Drake and making a hit song in the process. Now, Drake has submitted two legal filings against Lamar, one filed in Bexar County, in which he accuses Universal Music Group of defamation as well as a pay-to-play scheme with San Antonio-based media conglomerate iHeartMedia. In the pre-suit deposition, Drake — under legal name Aubrey Drake Graham — names his and Lamar's respective record labels' parent company, Universal Music Group (UMG).
