Drake Wants to See Kendrick’s Record Deal & UMG CEO’s Emails in ‘Not Like Us’ Lawsuit (UPDATED)
Drake seeks unredacted contracts and CEO Lucian Grainge's emails to prove Universal Music Group's role in promoting Kendrick Lamar's defamatory diss track amid ongoing discovery disputes.
- Drake filed motions in August 2025 to compel Universal Music Group to produce Kendrick Lamar's unredacted 22-page contract and emails from UMG CEO Lucian Grainge in a New York defamation lawsuit over the 2024 diss track "Not Like Us".
- This discovery demand followed weeks of legal disputes and an August 7 conference after UMG provided a nearly unreadable redacted contract and refused to release key documents citing privacy and relevance concerns.
- Drake's legal team alleges UMG shielded Grainge from discovery despite claims he approved promotion of "Not Like Us," and contends UMG conspired financially to boost Kendrick while harming Drake's brand under competing labels.
- Attorney Michael Gottlieb said UMG's refusal is "unsupported by law" and prejudices Drake's ability to prove claims, while UMG denies misconduct and denies Grainge's meaningful involvement in the diss track's release.
- The judge is currently weighing UMG's motion to dismiss the case, and a ruling could come any day, potentially affecting discovery of evidence on paternity and domestic violence allegations tied to Kendrick and Dave Free.
