More about Drake's defamation lawsuit against UMG getting dismissed

Drizzy filed a lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) in January this year. He alleged that the company intentionally promoted and distributed Kendrick Lamar's Not Like Us to defame him and put him down. The lyrics in the track, released in May 2024, labeled Drizzy a "certified pedophile".

However, District Judge Jeannette Vargas dismissed the lawsuit on October 9, 2025. In her statement, the judge wrote:

“The fact that the Recording was made in the midst of a rap battle is essential to assessing its impact on a reasonable listener. Even apparent statements of fact may assume the character of statements of opinion… when made in public debate, heated labor dispute, or other circumstances in which an audience may anticipate the use of epithets, fiery rhetoric or hyperbole.”

Vargas asserted that while "certified pedophile" is a serious allegation, the tone of the song amidst a rap battle cannot be considered as fact by a listener.

After the judgment, a representative from UMG told Variety:

“From the outset, this suit was an affront to all artists and their creative expression and never should have seen the light of day. We’re pleased with the court’s dismissal and look forward to continuing our work successfully promoting Drake’s music and investing in his career.”

Drizzy's representatives, meanwhile, have confirmed that they will be appealing the decision in the Court of Appeals.
