Drake has withdrawn the petition he raised accusing Spotify and Universal Music Group (UMG) of illegally boosting Kendrick Lamar‘s diss track “Not Like Us.” According to documents filed with the New York Supreme Court on Tuesday,

Drake has withdrawn his legal petition against Spotify and UMG after claiming they artificially inflated Kendrick Lamar's 'Not LIke Us.'

Drake, chart-topping rapper and global music icon who is best known for turning emotions into his hits, officially has stepped back from a legal dispute against Universal Music and Spotify.

One of Kendrick Lamar's most successful years was 2024, and it appears that the hitmaker has no intention of slowing down in 2025.

Rapper Drake has dropped a legal petition against streaming giant Spotify and Universal Music Group which claimed the companies conspired to boost streaming numbers for his rival Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.

The notice also notes that Drake’s representatives “met and conferred” with the respondents to the legal action in January. Spotify, which filed an opposition to the petition, responded that it had no objection to the withdrawal. Meanwhile, UMG, which had not filed an opposition to the petition, “reserved its position.”

But when Lamar's "Not Like Us" diss track went viral and topped music charts globally, Drake reacted by alleging Spotify and UMG came up with an illegal scheme to boost the song.
