Drake has filed a pre-action legal petition against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify, alleging the companies orchestrated a scheme to artificially inflate the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us.” Filed in Manhattan court on November 25, the petition accuses UMG of deploying bots, payola, and other manipulative methods to boost the track’s visibility, citing violations of the federal RICO statute, deceptive business practices, and false advertising under New York state law. The allegations mark a surprising escalation in the rivalry between Drake and Lamar, whose feud previously played out through diss tracks earlier this year.
Drake’s attorneys claim UMG leveraged reduced licensing rates with Spotify, social media influencers, and bots to manipulate streaming metrics, even alleging the company paid Apple to redirect Siri users to Lamar’s track. UMG has denied the accusations, calling them “offensive and untrue,” while Spotify declined to comment.

French defender Presnel Kimpembe returned to Paris Saint-Germain’s matchday squad for the first time since February 2023, marking an end to a harrowing 638-day injury layoff. Kimpembe made his long-awaited return in PSG’s crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. The 29-year-old’s absence followed an ACL injury sustained during a Ligue 1 match against Marseille in February 2023, which saw him stretchered off in the 16th minute. Joining him on the comeback trail is forward Gonçalo Ramos, who recovered from an ankle injury that sidelined him since the season opener.
Kimpembe’s return comes at a pivotal time for PSG, who have struggled in the Champions League group stage, sitting 26th out of 36 teams after winning just one of their opening four matches. PSG failed to turn their European fortunes around, losing 1-0 to the Bavarian giants. It remains to be seen how they will face off in Ligue 1 action against Nantes on Saturday.
