And that, to me, is just baffling when you think about the specifics of this song.

Yeah, I think you could say that he took a page from Drake's playbook, for sure. He made a diss song that was also a pop hit, which is something that basically only Drake had ever done before. And I think Not Like Us is received not only as a killer Drake diss, but also as an instant smash hit. There's just no question that it wins Kendrick the Beef.

But if there was any doubt remaining, that disappears when Drake takes an unprecedented step in the wake of something like this. He files a massive lawsuit.

So just last month, Drake formally sues Universal Music Group, which is not only the biggest record label in the world, but it's the one that represents both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. And Drake sues the label for defamation.

Yes. They're saying that this rap battle went beyond some artistic spat and turned very real. In the days after Not Like Us was released, there was a shooting outside of Drake's house in Toronto. A security guard was seriously wounded, and the police haven't said who did that or why.

But then there was a break-in a couple of days later, and Drake says he had to pull his son out of school because of security concerns. And the lawsuit is drawing a straight line directly to the allegations of pedophilia in Not Like Us.

Right. The lawsuit calls it vigilante justice.

So I think this is a complex question, and part of it has to do with how the song was released and promoted. Drake is basically saying that the label had a huge hand in making this song not only popular, but received as fact. He's saying that they're the ones who... pushed it to the radio, who made sure it could stream heavily on YouTube and Spotify. They're selling it to television shows.

And the legal argument is that Universal, UMG, had the responsibility to know that these claims against Drake were not true. To prove defamation against a public figure, you not only have to prove that the information was false, but that they knew it was false.

And Drake is saying, UMG, this company that's given him hundreds of millions of dollars over the years, they should have known if one of their biggest, most valuable assets was a pedophile.
