Universal Music Group Swift Responds to Drake’s Allegations Over “Not Like Us”
Universal Music Group (UMG) has pushed back against accusations by Drake that it conspired with Spotify to artificially inflate the success of Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us.”
Drake’s legal filing alleges UMG used bots, paid influencers, and even manipulated platforms like Siri to boost streams, ultimately favoring Lamar over him.
UMG has categorically denied these claims, calling them “offensive and untrue” and affirming their commitment to ethical marketing practices. The controversy underscores tensions between major artists under the same label.
