Drake Claims UMG and Spotify Boosted Kendrick Lamar's Streams Illegally

Drake's Frozen Moments LLC has filed a legal complaint against Universal Music Group and Spotify, accusing them of illegally boosting streams of Kendrick Lamar's track "Not Like Us" through bots, undisclosed payments, and biased recommendations. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan court, alleges violations of the RICO Act and deceptive business practices. Drake's attorneys seek documents from UMG and Spotify to prove these claims, while UMG denies the allegations, asserting their ethical marketing practices. "Not Like Us" remains a top-charting song, while Drake's response track "Family Matters" also charted.
