The rapper Drake has sued Universal Music Group for defamation, alleging the music empire of promoting a diss track against him last spring.

Drake’s second diss track used artificial intelligence technology to include verses from Tupac and Snoop Dogg, two of Lamar’s influences. In his own verse, Drake accuses Lamar of delaying his response track because of the imminent release of Taylor Swift ‘s “The Tortured Poets Department.” (Lamar collaborated with Swift on “Bad Blood.”)

The late-night host linked Lamar’s rap feud with Drake to an unexpected political clash — before delivering his own punchline.

Lamar took home five Grammys for "Not Like Us" Drake is speaking out for the first time since Kendrick Lamar took home several Grammys for his diss track "Not Like Us," which he wrote about the Canadian rapper.
