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\u2019s goofy ass is still trying to make fetch happen by converting his Superbowl-publicized hip-hop loss into a courtroom victory. The Teenage Fever<\/a> star\u2019s legal strategy of blaming everyone but Kendrick and himself for his L is zoning in on UMG\u2019s Lucian Grainge, accusing him of conspiring against Drake. The Guardian<\/a> has coverage:<\/p>\n

\n

As Drake\u2019s lawsuit continues against his record label\u2019s parent company, Universal Music Group (UMG), his lawyers have claimed that UMG\u2019s British chair and chief executive Lucian Grainge had a \u201crole in and knowledge of the scheme to defame and harass\u201d Drake<\/a>, and have requested that UMG produce texts and emails by Grainge.<\/p>\n

UMG has previously denied access to those communications, stating that Grainge has \u201cno meaningful involvement in the matters and decisions at issue in this litigation\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It seems like the famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid and now spiraling<\/a>. 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\u2019d imagine that it looked something like this:<\/p>\n

The desperate clawing for anything that could clear Drake\u2019s name isn\u2019t stopping with Lucian. Back in Family Matters, Drake insiunated that Dave Free was the actual father of Kendrick Lamar\u2019s 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\u2019s most ardent fanboys:<\/p>\n

Drake is bringing the question back and pushing for documents to determine if Kendrick Lamar\u2019s children were fathered by Lamar or Dave Free:<\/p>\n

If you are unfortunate enough to remember Drake\u2019s thematically and qualitatively sad attempt to respond to \u201cNot Like Us\u201d titled \u201cThe Heart Pt. 6<\/a>\u201d \u2014 not to be confused with Kendrick Lamar\u2019s \u201cThe Heart Pt. 6,\u201d an actual piece of good art \u2014 you know that Drake claims everything he said during the rap spat was factual. If that\u2019s true, shouldn\u2019t he already have some reliable information on the documentation he\u2019s requesting above?<\/p>\n

Tell you one thing \u2014 it\u2019ll be a sad day in a Toronto recording studio if Drake\u2019s legal team somehow manages to get all of the documents they\u2019re requesting and it does goose egg to help him in the long run. <\/p>\n
