Some Above the Law stories require a certain level of objectivity, balance, and finesse to be done well. This is not one of them. Drake’s goofy ass is still trying to make fetch happen by converting his Superbowl-publicized hip-hop loss into a courtroom victory. The Teenage Fever star’s legal strategy of blaming everyone but Kendrick and himself for his L is zoning in on UMG’s Lucian Grainge, accusing him of conspiring against Drake. The Guardian has coverage:
As Drake’s lawsuit continues against his record label’s parent company, Universal Music Group (UMG), his lawyers have claimed that UMG’s British chair and chief executive Lucian Grainge had a “role in and knowledge of the scheme to defame and harass” Drake, and have requested that UMG produce texts and emails by Grainge.
UMG has previously denied access to those communications, stating that Grainge has “no meaningful involvement in the matters and decisions at issue in this litigation”.
It seems like the famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid and now spiraling. We do not have unreleased footage of what Drake must have looked like as he compelled his lawyers to try and make something out of a fishing expedition, but I’d imagine that it looked something like this:
The desperate clawing for anything that could clear Drake’s name isn’t stopping with Lucian. Back in Family Matters, Drake insiunated that Dave Free was the actual father of Kendrick Lamar’s children. And while it made for a catchy vocal stim in a song, the likelihood of it being anything more than a rumor quickly fell out for even one of Drake’s most ardent fanboys:
Drake is bringing the question back and pushing for documents to determine if Kendrick Lamar’s children were fathered by Lamar or Dave Free:
If you are unfortunate enough to remember Drake’s thematically and qualitatively sad attempt to respond to “Not Like Us” titled “The Heart Pt. 6” — not to be confused with Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Pt. 6,” an actual piece of good art — you know that Drake claims everything he said during the rap spat was factual. If that’s true, shouldn’t he already have some reliable information on the documentation he’s requesting above?
Tell you one thing — it’ll be a sad day in a Toronto recording studio if Drake’s legal team somehow manages to get all of the documents they’re requesting and it does goose egg to help him in the long run.
