So the first thing 209 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about was Drake. You guys know 210 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: that Drake has been going back and forth with Universal 211 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: Music Group over the song not Like Us, even though 212 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: he's positioning it and claiming that it's not specifically about 213 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: the song, that it's more so about the fact that 214 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: his label did not protect him and that they allowed 215 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: another artist on the label, speaking of Kendrick Lamar to 216 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: drop out like Us, which Drake and team say is 217 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: a very defamatory song. It's dangerous and there's no way 218 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: that this should have been supported. So now he is suing. Okay, 219 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: the lassit. There's been a lot of back and forth, 220 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: but more recently the Universal Music Group side of things said, 221 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: you know what, Judge, this all is bs, Drake, don't really, 222 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: he doesn't honestly think that we did half of the 223 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: stuff that he's claiming. He's claiming that they work with 224 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: bots to make not Like Us a bigger song than 225 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: it was.
