Drake has reached a settlement with iHeartMedia in the legal dispute over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” court records reveal. The settlement comes after Drake filed a legal petition in Texas alleging illegal payments by iHeartMedia from Universal Music Group to boost airplay for the song. The claims against UMG are still active, with a hearing scheduled regarding their petition dismissal.
The feud between Drake and Lamar escalated with allegations of inappropriate business practices and false accusations of pedophilia in the song. Drake has filed a defamation lawsuit against UMG in New York City over the pedophilia allegations. However, Lamar is not named in the lawsuit.
The ongoing dispute between the two prominent rappers, both Grammy winners, has become a major controversy in the hip-hop industry. The Federal Communications Commission is also investigating iHeartMedia for potentially forcing musicians to perform at their country music festival in exchange for airplay on their radio stations.
Despite the settlement with iHeartMedia, the legal battle between Drake and UMG continues. Both parties have declined to comment further on the matter. The resolution of this dispute marks a significant development in the ongoing feud between two of the biggest names in the music industry.
