Universal Music Group says the defamation lawsuit filed by Drake over Kendrick Lamar's song "Not Like Us" is "baseless."

In a motion filed on Monday, March 17, Drake's record label filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." Universal Music Group fired back at the Canadian rapper calling his allegations “meritless.

Drake's label, Universal Music Group, is blasting the rapper as a bitter loser who wants his rap battles one-sided. In a new motion to dismiss Drake's defamation lawsuit against his own label, UMG says the Canadian-born rapper levied his own "vitriolic and incendiary" diss tracks against nemesis Kendrick Lamar before Lamar released his "hyperbolic" reply "Not Like Us" on the men's shared label.
