What’s Next?
The upcoming March 5 hearing in San Antonio will be pivotal in determining whether Drake’s lawsuit against UMG proceeds to trial. If the court denies UMG’s motion to dismiss, the case will move into discovery, allowing Drake’s legal team to subpoena internal UMG communications that could further expose the company’s role in amplifying Not Like Us.
Meanwhile, Drake continues to face backlash stemming from the track’s accusations, with online hate campaigns and conspiracy theories persisting. For now, his legal battle against one of the biggest music labels in the world stands as a landmark case—one that could set a precedent for how the music industry navigates the fine line between artistic freedom and reputational harm.
