He’s not really fighting Kendrick, he’s fighting the label. If the label won’t keep him at the top forever, Drake’s threatening to force legal scrutiny of their payola schemes and lose them billions.

“Drake there’s some songs trending that call you a deadbeat, pedophile, culture vulture, gambling addict, drug user and groomer and one of them has 950 million streams” “It does NOT have that many streams”
"no one was listening to it that much!" always cracks me up bc you cannot guess how many folks are the type whos gonna listen to a song on repeat 😭 i was in the .02% percent of kendrick listeners JUST for the month of august solely bc i remembered the beef and just put not like us on repeat. he wasnt even on my overall top artists list, i was just bumping his beats for a couple weeks straight THAT severely
@@scottydog6713I mean... it got so big that tumblr was talking about it. Like... tumblr. The site for nerds, geeks, and degenerates. Was talking openly about Not Like Us. The song escaped containment in a big way.
Drake's basically throwing a hissy fit that Kendrick is getting the treatment he had instead of him. Remember Spotify had to refund people because Drake's face was plastered all throughout the app a few years back.
I also think he can’t fathom any other reason Not Like Us would be so popular. Which just shows how outside the culture he really is. If you watch any first time listen reaction, people are freaking out over how special the song is. “This is going to be in the clubs TONIGHT!” And they were right. Spotify didn’t have anything to do with the IMMEDIATE response. Also, Kendrick removed copyright restrictions so the song was more available, too. Now, did bots also push the song? I don’t know because I’m not educated enough about how that works. But the point is, it STILL would have been everywhere even if they didn’t. And Drake does not (cannot?) grasp that.
@@casteanpreswyn7528 No matter who wrote it, it was nigh on the most pathetic lowest quality piece of lyricism i have ever heard. So i'm inclined to believe it wasn't ghostwritten.
If there’s anyone who has the full right to file a defamation case in regards to the rap beef is Kendrick’s wife, as Drake was a) the first one to cross the line b) involved “civilians” and said malicious thing about them.
Spotify wrapped said I listened to it 91 times last year, and I probably listened to it a few times on youtube too, between the MV and original release
Yeah, I also did not like it at all. Surprised, Drake made that feature request. Also, if his reputation was so important he would not have shown up at some brainrot streamer's to exclaim he were unbothered. That and the cover for certified loverboy is a sign that it is nigh-on impossible to defame his drake persona.
It’s probably better than the one Pusha T used. Push got everyone looking at Drake different because he wore blackface. MTG cover makes you go wtf is wrong with this guy?! Especially when you see the pill bottles and prescription.
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 because if you think about it, rap battles like these at the end of the day are just punching with words, and sure some people take it too far, but rap battles should only stay in rap battles. If you pull lawyers into this you're basically admitting you're a sore loser
@@thomastakesatollforthedark2231 I think there's a rule where you should never bring someone else's fiancee/fiance or wife in a rap battle, and never file a lawsuit when you lose the beef. Drake did the "bringing up their partner in the beef" twice(first was against Pusha T, then Kendrick) and double it up with the indirect lawsuit against Kendrick because he accuses him of paying up UMG and other streaming services to boost his song's popularity with bots. He should've moved on and stay silent.
“Dear Adonis…” It was so over the second this verse started… and it only got worst from there for Drake. Also very curious he’s suing over Not Like Us and not Meet the Grahams, the arguably more damaging song.
2:36 I love your videos, but remember there’s no such thing as “underage women.” Accurate words are “girls, children,” or “minooooooooors.” 😂 Now before everyone jumps on me here, I know full well and good that Legal Eagle is a good guy and that he didn’t mean any harm. But I’d want someone to point it out if I said it because language is important. It’s NOT an attack to point it out respectfully, which I hope I did.
Yes, it goes to the heart of why the act is wrong, instead of whitewashing the bad. Like how "child pr*stitutes" are now rightly called _abμsed/exploited boys & girls._
@@Fireclaws10 Not only started it, SPECIFICALLY asked for Not Like Us. He said to Kendrick "Talk about [me] being into young girls"... Hey Drake, maybe its a bad idea to ask one of the most celebrated song writers in the world to write a song about you being into underage girls. Just a thought
He never accused Drake a pdf file he accused him of liking them young but the pdf file line was moreso about the ppl around Drake but birds of a feather flock together I guess… legally he didn’t accuse him though maybe alluded but never accused that’s how good of a writer he is. Dude even has a name for his pen! Gloria!
Gloria is a brand of pen. i don't know if K Dot actually uses them (probably not before he got big because they're like $200) or if it's just a woman's name that doubles as a metaphor for writing.
@@OffDaChayn Does he really need plausible deniability? I think K-dot would gain more by doubling down and presenting all the info that he has, as well as urging court inquiries. The best defense against defamation is truth, after all. Even if all of them were fakes given by a double agent, that still leaves Kendrick in a position of a good-faith study into potentially illegal acts, something that would null any suspicion for his "malicious intent"
funny thing is Drake started this when he insinuated that Kendrick hit his girl. Kendrick even warned him multiple times in euphoria that he didn't want to go there. Lines like "this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way" and "If you take it there, I'm takin' it further" but Drake didn't listen got personal and now there's a hit song calling him a paedophile 😂
2:37 Objection! If the alleged victims are underage, by definition they should be referred to as "girls," not as "women." *Note on tone: I'm not posting this in anger or as a "gotcha," this a legitimate correction as a fan.
If thats the case then the rhetoric also needs to actually realize 18 year olds and up are fully aware of their own actions and are capable of governing themselves as well as the situations or actions including the relationships they potentially find themselves in.
They are minors, but I'm pretty sure that no one looks at 17 year olds as "children". Adolescents perhaps. (Note: Absolutely not defending Drake, nor adults dating minors lmao. Adults also shouldn't date adolescents. But the infantilization of teenagers is crippling them because they're not being prepared adequately for adulthood)

@@joshuabgambrell How is that relevant? It worked, it fit, it made us laugh and gasp and it's a catchy bar. Let's not act like Kendrick Lamar isn't a Pulitzer prize, grammy winning writer here.
14:30, I think it’s less about the demonitization causing there to be less reach, it’s that content creators won’t use a song they know will get them demonized, so there would be people who don’t care and play the song anyway knowing they’ll get flagged, but for those who do avoid said songs (a majority) you’re now giving them the green light to play, review, react to, etc the song thus giving it more engagement and publicity.
the thing is, even if thats true, isnt that completely within their rights if they want to whitelist their song or not? Even if its designed to increase the songs popularity, theres nothing illegal about it.
@ yeah I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed to I’m just responding to him saying “as a RUclipsr I don’t get the incentive to white listing the song” point being the incentive is it makes it easier for people to promote the song for free
As a European, I feel like this is peak American culture: The juxtaposition of extremely awkwardly phased "gangster rap" texts, and extremely clean legal texts and lawsuits.
He doesnt even call him a pdf file.. The lyrics are literally "baka got a weird case, why is he around? Certified lover boy, certified pdf file" which baka just had a case over 😂😂😂 He talkin bout baka clearly, not drake.
I first listened to not like us bc a coworker was listening to it while we were closing. I remember being very impressed by the a minor chord line. It is only bc of this video (and therefore Drake's lawsuit) that I now know what song that amazing line came from.
Objection! At 14:30 - you say that removing copyright restrictions on the song will not boost the song because it doesn't affect the algorythm and reach of the video. I think that removing copyright restrictions from the song will probably encourage more youtubers to use it in videos because there will be no fear of losing monetisation, so more youtubers would use the song way more in their videos, increasing is't popularity
15:59 hilarious that Drake of all people complains about how the saturation of one artist comes at the expense of others when that describes his entire career. He literally paid Spotify to take over the platform when Scorpio came out. His music has been shoved in our faces for 15 years, but now this clown suddenly cares about struggling artists trying to breakthrough
I've read lawyers claiming that this lawsuit is so obviously bad that it must be a publicity stunt... but it's also so negative from a publicity standpoint that it makes no sense either. So there's no perspective that explains this.
It is funny how the petition filed even further boosted the songs replay ability lol. They hype of the song was settling down and the internet was starting to move on but doing this was basically the equivalent of a Bat signal to the internet to play the song again lmfao
Drakes big issue here (one of them) is that the daughter thing seems to be the least factual statement Kendrick made, but acknowledging that would look REALLY BAD.
If you look into it, a decade or so ago it was ruled that Drake owes child support to a women and her infant daughter. There’s no info outside of that one court case, but could be what Kdot is referring to.
I think another thing in regards to Drake being called a pedo by Kendrick is the fact that a LOT of people already saw him as one. The stuff about him getting close with girls before they were 18, his "close friendship" with Millie Bobby Brown, etcetc, where all known BEFORE Not Like Us was released and had a ton of people looking down on Drake for such already. Not Like Us might have brought more attention to the claims/rumours, especially because it spread far out from the normal rap circles for music listeners, but even I knew about the allegations of Drake being a creep before the song was out (and I didn't even know there was a beef) and I'm not a Drake, Kendrick, or rap fan in general. Perhaps that could be used as a sort of defence if Drake does attempt to claim defamation? Not that I know much of the law, but it was something a looooot of people already regarded as true or suspected Drake of, prior to everything. This, of course, has little to do with his claims against UMG, but it seems dumb when he was also going around calling Kendrick a wifebeater/cheater or whatnot in one of his own diss tracks. It really comes off as salt that a diss against him has become THE song to listen to.
2:43 Kendrick was referring to people on Drake’s payroll not Drake specifically. These people do have records. Kendrick is very meticulous and calculated.
14:54 Actually Legal Eagle hip hop and black American culture has a big reaction RUclips community so when it got viral everyone was making reaction content, most people stray from posting umg songs because they claim the entire video or they take it all down and strike you. So The clearing of the Kendrick record did boost it.
Drake trying to say he's the victim of a payola scheme by UMG in favor of Kendrick without realizing he's probably been benefiting from the same marketing shenanigans to vault him from Degrassi to major star is ironic
Drake the first Nancy Parker in the rap industry. Drake's lawsuit just shows how disconnected from Black culture he really is that he cannot fathom that Dot would have more popularity over Drake.
14:49 While using unmonetized music doesnt have an effect on the distrubition of the song though RUclips and Twitch, removing the copyright restrictins does count as an incentive for larger channels to use the music, because they dont have to be afraid that the entire stream/video is unmonetized for using the song.
14:48 I think the point is that if they made the song not copyrighted, RUclipsrs may use the song instead of something else, thus increasing the reach of the song?
Point of fact: Kendrick didn't call *Drake* a pdfile. Kendrick said that Drake has pdfiles *around* him, which is factually true. What he said about Drake was just him reminding everyone of what has definitely already been seen and commented on publicly, and gave his impression of what Drake's behavior indicates.
If you actually look at the lyrics of "not like us," kendrick is not calling aubrey a pdf file. The A minor is bar is talking about a piano. I know you like them young is actually talking about aubrey liking young women. In short, the whole record is very well written, and in my opinion, it's genius. 🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂😂
Drake having to prove to the court he’s legally not a pedo Also making it a Rico is another level of grimy especially for a “rapper” and ESPECIALLY right after young thugs trial
using something meant for organized crime against somebody you lost a rap beef to. Not to mention drake would be a part of said organization and one of its biggest beneficiaries. Really don’t know what you’re asking why about
Rico cases are used against the mob and gangs. Allows them to charge a group of people as an organization for any crimes committed to further the organization. Gives the police and law a lot more leeway to investigate. The young thug trial was well covered on this channel. It’s just way overkill from drakes side and in my opinion is just to get as much information as they can and drag as many people into court as possible. Retributive. And he is a beneficiary of the “organization” he’s suing. It’s his own label. They’ve done all the same exact payola nonsense FOR Drake his whole career. I wonder how him and his lawyers laid out the system so clearly in the suit? And another layer, a Rico case against your whole gang is the antithesis of “don’t snitch”. It’s not just snitching. It’s Griffith level sacrificing everyone for his own gain. And “gain” isn’t really guaranteed. It’s mostly a bruised ego
The threat of a song causing a video to be demonetized is pressure on a creator to not use the song. Their interest is not only to get lots of views, it's also to earn money.
I know literally nothing about rap music, EXCEPT that a large chunk of it involves insulting other artists. Isn't that why rap battles are a thing?! Drake is saying that he can't handle being a rapper by sueing.
I can’t understand Drake’s decision to move forward with this. My theory is that he’s trying to put it in people’s brains that this was an industry-coordinated attack, and that he doesn’t actually care about winning the suit. Like maybe it’s about optics. But if that is his big plan he miscalculated. Whatever his motivation, this isn’t a good look for Drake, which follows a series of not good looks

Yeah, he has been very careful not to call him that directly.
Was gonna say, the ‘certified’ line is RIGHT after the line ‘Baka’s got a weird case, why is he around?’ for that very reason
Couple hundred of those streams are mine lol
Careful, drake will name you in the suit
Same here my brotha! You know what? I'm about to listen to it again!
Kbot nation rise up ✊✊✊ Who else got their bonus from UMG?!
That A Minor joke was... absolutely brilliant.
Yeah when Bo Burnham made it 10 years ago
@@joshuabgambrellNot even him.
The joke has existed since i was a kid.
a strong use of a decades old joke
Gotta B sharp
@@joshuabgambrell How is that relevant? It worked, it fit, it made us laugh and gasp and it's a catchy bar. Let's not act like Kendrick Lamar isn't a Pulitzer prize, grammy winning writer here.
I'm here to file a petition to retire the term "underage women".
Agreed. If they mean children, they should say children.
Seriously. Say "children", "teenagers", "minors".
Yeah i really wish he had just said "underage girls" like he did later
Right? It's like "involuntarily celibate Man" involuntarily and celibate have nothing to do with a Man
I second the motion.
Because of youtube channels that are run by professionals, I have learned so much legal jargon. And that's dope af
Not Certified Lawyer Boy!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I saw that!
“Drake is not a name that you gon’ see on no sex offender list.”
Well, yeah because the entry would read ‘Aubrey Graham.’
Someone's getting added to the opps list😂
Underage women? If they're underage, they're girls, not women.
^^this^^
Grammatically, "underage girls" is redundant, whereas "underage women" are two descriptors that work together to create a full picture.
THIS!! TY!
The last time I was here this early, Drake hadn't sued
A.k.a. certified lawyer boy😂
the last time a video was this new, drake tried to slide in its DMs.
14:30, I think it’s less about the demonitization causing there to be less reach, it’s that content creators won’t use a song they know will get them demonized, so there would be people who don’t care and play the song anyway knowing they’ll get flagged, but for those who do avoid said songs (a majority) you’re now giving them the green light to play, review, react to, etc the song thus giving it more engagement and publicity.
the thing is, even if thats true, isnt that completely within their rights if they want to whitelist their song or not? Even if its designed to increase the songs popularity, theres nothing illegal about it.
@ yeah I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed to I’m just responding to him saying “as a RUclipsr I don’t get the incentive to white listing the song” point being the incentive is it makes it easier for people to promote the song for free
Was gonna comment the same thing, though in the form of an objection
I actually hadn't listened to Not Like Us until Drake filed all this crap. He's absolutely his own worst enemy right now 😂😂😂
12:12 Rappers promoting their music are held to a higher legal standard than political candidates. Let that sink in
As a European, I feel like this is peak American culture: The juxtaposition of extremely awkwardly phased "gangster rap" texts, and extremely clean legal texts and lawsuits.
Fr
Lmao we're having a hell of a year
Kendrick isn't a gangster rapper that's not gangster rap.
@@BlackHippy313all rap is gangster rap by implication
@@thundark3736 There's nothing Gangater about Kid Cudi my guy lol
He doesnt even call him a pdf file..
The lyrics are literally "baka got a weird case, why is he around? Certified lover boy, certified pdf file" which baka just had a case over 😂😂😂
He talkin bout baka clearly, not drake.
Kendrick not only subtly insinuating Drake is implicated in Baka's rubbish, he also covered his own ass legally.
I first listened to not like us bc a coworker was listening to it while we were closing. I remember being very impressed by the a minor chord line. It is only bc of this video (and therefore Drake's lawsuit) that I now know what song that amazing line came from.
Objection!
At 14:30 - you say that removing copyright restrictions on the song will not boost the song because it doesn't affect the algorythm and reach of the video. I think that removing copyright restrictions from the song will probably encourage more youtubers to use it in videos because there will be no fear of losing monetisation, so more youtubers would use the song way more in their videos, increasing is't popularity
Increasing it's popularity..... But not it's payout.
"Wop wop wop wop wop"
Drake catching lots of Ls these days
Maybe he thinks they're a new species of Pokemon. Like Unown. 😂😂😂
Im sorry,,, is that Not Like Us with the Law and Order stings?? Holy shit thats hard
The "Cerftified PDF" line was directed at Baka not Drake so Aubrey gonna lose that one quick.
15:59 hilarious that Drake of all people complains about how the saturation of one artist comes at the expense of others when that describes his entire career. He literally paid Spotify to take over the platform when Scorpio came out. His music has been shoved in our faces for 15 years, but now this clown suddenly cares about struggling artists trying to breakthrough
Aubrey killed by a death of thousand cuts, minor cuts
The fact that legal eagle respects kdot so much that he plays each entire bar is gold.
Lawbrey basically said I'mma get a win one way or another 😂
He was better off takin' the L
Not Lawbrey!!!! 😭😭😭😭
@@shimmerofadiamond I had to 😂
Oh my sweet Jesus 😂😂😂
I was so not prepared for a leagle eagle f bomb. Actual double take lol
You can't lie about yourself and then sue for defamation when someone repeats your lies. That would create huge potential for abuse of process.
I've read lawyers claiming that this lawsuit is so obviously bad that it must be a publicity stunt... but it's also so negative from a publicity standpoint that it makes no sense either. So there's no perspective that explains this.
That strikes me as a 5D chess argument. This is so stupid that CLEARLY it must be a psyop, as opposed to just a run of the mill bad choice
It is funny how the petition filed even further boosted the songs replay ability lol. They hype of the song was settling down and the internet was starting to move on but doing this was basically the equivalent of a Bat signal to the internet to play the song again lmfao
how dare youtube keep this from me for 51 seconds
How dare they?? 😂 They're "Not Like Us" 😉
😂
You’re lucky, YT kept it from me for 25 mins 😔😔😔😔
27mins I AM OFFENDED 😭
They're on Drake's payroll
We got a LegalEagle video on the Drake/Kendrick feud before GTA VI 🙏🙏🙏
I've been waiting for you to do this video for so so long... thanks
Meet the Grahams gave me chills first time I heard it
“Into his face with some feces” 🤣🤣
Drakes big issue here (one of them) is that the daughter thing seems to be the least factual statement Kendrick made, but acknowledging that would look REALLY BAD.
If you look into it, a decade or so ago it was ruled that Drake owes child support to a women and her infant daughter.
There’s no info outside of that one court case, but could be what Kdot is referring to.
@abrax.98 that is exactly what he was talking about. She's older than his son but refuses to take responsibility.
I think another thing in regards to Drake being called a pedo by Kendrick is the fact that a LOT of people already saw him as one. The stuff about him getting close with girls before they were 18, his "close friendship" with Millie Bobby Brown, etcetc, where all known BEFORE Not Like Us was released and had a ton of people looking down on Drake for such already.
Not Like Us might have brought more attention to the claims/rumours, especially because it spread far out from the normal rap circles for music listeners, but even I knew about the allegations of Drake being a creep before the song was out (and I didn't even know there was a beef) and I'm not a Drake, Kendrick, or rap fan in general.
Perhaps that could be used as a sort of defence if Drake does attempt to claim defamation? Not that I know much of the law, but it was something a looooot of people already regarded as true or suspected Drake of, prior to everything.
This, of course, has little to do with his claims against UMG, but it seems dumb when he was also going around calling Kendrick a wifebeater/cheater or whatnot in one of his own diss tracks. It really comes off as salt that a diss against him has become THE song to listen to.
Can we please just start calling him Jimmy from Degrassi? I hear there’s a huge push for nostalgia right now…
I didn't need to get paid to listen to Not Like Us on repeat.
2:43 Kendrick was referring to people on Drake’s payroll not Drake specifically. These people do have records. Kendrick is very meticulous and calculated.
This is the best battle of creators since Legal Eagle vs Iiluminaughtii 😂😂😂
I never thought I’d be in a world where my favorite lawyer would make a video on my favorite rappers lol
14:54 Actually Legal Eagle hip hop and black American culture has a big reaction RUclips community so when it got viral everyone was making reaction content, most people stray from posting umg songs because they claim the entire video or they take it all down and strike you. So The clearing of the Kendrick record did boost it.
2:40 I'm sorry but is Drakes defense here literally "I'm too famous to be a pedophile" because thats hilarious
I think it's "I'm so famous if I was a pdf file I'd already be in prison" as if fame and money makes it more likely for you to be arrested
Kendrick so goated he even got attorneys behind him DAMN
There ain't much allies left for Drake, if any
0:26 Technically this line is accusing Drake's circle of collaborators (including Drake) of having pedophiles, not necessarily Drake himself
Ummmm technically this is you telling drake where to put it.
👉(‿¤‿)👈
@veggie4876 unfortunately I'm not a 16 years old girl 😞
Drake trying to say he's the victim of a payola scheme by UMG in favor of Kendrick without realizing he's probably been benefiting from the same marketing shenanigans to vault him from Degrassi to major star is ironic
Drake the first Nancy Parker in the rap industry. Drake's lawsuit just shows how disconnected from Black culture he really is that he cannot fathom that Dot would have more popularity over Drake.
14:49 While using unmonetized music doesnt have an effect on the distrubition of the song though RUclips and Twitch, removing the copyright restrictins does count as an incentive for larger channels to use the music, because they dont have to be afraid that the entire stream/video is unmonetized for using the song.
Yup. Idk how he missed it, simplest logic.
14:48 I think the point is that if they made the song not copyrighted, RUclipsrs may use the song instead of something else, thus increasing the reach of the song?
Point of fact: Kendrick didn't call *Drake* a pdfile. Kendrick said that Drake has pdfiles *around* him, which is factually true. What he said about Drake was just him reminding everyone of what has definitely already been seen and commented on publicly, and gave his impression of what Drake's behavior indicates.
Legal Eagle playing Lyrics is a troll I didn’t think I needed but hilarious move. Legal eagle like us
Major correction: Kendrick did not call Drake a PDFile, but a predator and a groomer. Baca Not Nice is the PDFile.
If you actually look at the lyrics of "not like us," kendrick is not calling aubrey a pdf file.
The A minor is bar is talking about a piano.
I know you like them young is actually talking about aubrey liking young women.
In short, the whole record is very well written, and in my opinion, it's genius. 🤷🏾♂️😂😂😂😂
Drake having to prove to the court he’s legally not a pedo
Also making it a Rico is another level of grimy especially for a “rapper” and ESPECIALLY right after young thugs trial
Why?
using something meant for organized crime against somebody you lost a rap beef to. Not to mention drake would be a part of said organization and one of its biggest beneficiaries.
Really don’t know what you’re asking why about
@pattyayyy I'm not familiar with rap culture or American legalese so
Rico cases are used against the mob and gangs. Allows them to charge a group of people as an organization for any crimes committed to further the organization. Gives the police and law a lot more leeway to investigate. The young thug trial was well covered on this channel.
It’s just way overkill from drakes side and in my opinion is just to get as much information as they can and drag as many people into court as possible. Retributive. And he is a beneficiary of the “organization” he’s suing. It’s his own label. They’ve done all the same exact payola nonsense FOR Drake his whole career. I wonder how him and his lawyers laid out the system so clearly in the suit?
And another layer, a Rico case against your whole gang is the antithesis of “don’t snitch”. It’s not just snitching. It’s Griffith level sacrificing everyone for his own gain.
And “gain” isn’t really guaranteed. It’s mostly a bruised ego
The threat of a song causing a video to be demonetized is pressure on a creator to not use the song. Their interest is not only to get lots of views, it's also to earn money.
I wonder how Drake knows about the machine his own label uses to illegitimately boost an undeserving artist to wild mainstream success. Hmmm....
How many faking the streams ? Getting they plays from machines ?
@@AndyV-r5w I can see behind the smoke and the mirrors, ninjas ain't as big as big as they seem
Is it gonna turn out that every accusation is a confession again 😭
The analysis we've all been waiting for ⚖️
"My lawyer will hear about this LAMAR." Drake-o Malfoy
I know literally nothing about rap music, EXCEPT that a large chunk of it involves insulting other artists. Isn't that why rap battles are a thing?! Drake is saying that he can't handle being a rapper by sueing.
Devin: Thank you for not censoring your videos. Even some of the biggest channels out there have become unintelligeable and it is only getting worse.
I can’t understand Drake’s decision to move forward with this. My theory is that he’s trying to put it in people’s brains that this was an industry-coordinated attack, and that he doesn’t actually care about winning the suit. Like maybe it’s about optics. But if that is his big plan he miscalculated. Whatever his motivation, this isn’t a good look for Drake, which follows a series of not good looks
