Drake's legal team said Universal Music Group used its resources to "elevate a dangerous and inflammatory message that was designed to assassinate Drake’s character."

Drake is battling his own record label over a song that is the lynchpin of a now legendary hip-hop feud.

Drake is going after UMG for putting out and promoting "Not Like Us," which references the Canadian rap star as a child predator. However, Los Angeles defamation and media law attorney Tre Lovell, of The Lovell Firm, believes the OVO head honcho has a slim chance of coming out victorious.
