Drake's latest suit comes two months after he claimed UMG and Spotify inflated the streams of "Not Like Us," which is nominated for key Grammys.

The rap artist Drake has sued Universal Music Group NV for defamation in US federal court, accusing the company of putting his life in danger by releasing and promoting a song by his rival and labelmate Kendrick Lamar.

One day after dropping his pre-action petition against Universal Music Group, Drake has officially sued the label over Kendrick Lamar diss record, “Not Like Us.”

Although Drake withdrew his legal petition against his label, Universal Music Group, on Tuesday, he doubled down Wednesday, suing the company for defamation and harassment, spreading the “false and malicious narrative” that he is a pedophile via Kendrick Lamar's brutal diss track,

The Toronto rapper is accusing his record label of promoting a campaign to create a viral hit out of the song “Not Like Us.”

Drake is calling off the legal dogs in pursuit of legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify over allegedly amplifying Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” streams.

The Boy previously accused the companies of illegally boosting the popularity of Kendrick Lamar's diss track “Not Like Us.”

The notice also notes that Drake’s representatives “met and conferred” with the respondents to the legal action in January. Spotify, which filed an opposition to the petition, responded that it had no objection to the withdrawal. Meanwhile, UMG, which had not filed an opposition to the petition, “reserved its position.”

But when Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss track went viral and topped music charts globally, Drake reacted by alleging Spotify and UMG came up with an illegal scheme to boost the song.

A second action against UMG and iHeartRadio is still active, alleging that the ‘Not Like Us’ track is defamatory.

Drake has withdrawn a legal action accusing Universal Music Group and Spotify of artificially inflating Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us."
