Would you say that\u2019s a fair statement?&#8221; a man asks Lamar, who responds, &#8220;So, you know the music?&#8221; From there, Lamar launches into a performance of his <em>GNX<\/em> track, &#8220;Peekaboo.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-8\">\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Lamar has shared several pre-recorded deposition skits throughout the <em>Grand National Tour<\/em>, which began back in April. He appears to be poking fun at <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/drake\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"\">Drake<\/a> for taking legal action against Universal Music Group over his song, &#8220;Not Like Us.&#8221; Lamar will continue performing on the tour through December, when he wraps up in Sydney. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>   <span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"font-bold text-2xl lg:text-[2.125rem] mb-[18px] font-poppins leading-10\" id=\"h-drake-umg-lawsuit\">Drake UMG Lawsuit<\/h2>\n<p><\/span>   <\/p>\n<div class=\"mb-8\">\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Drake filed a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing the company of artificially boosting the popularity of Kendrick Lamar&#8217;s &#8220;Not Like Us&#8221; in an effort to devalue his brand amid contract negotiations. On the track, Lamar raps, &#8220;Tryna strike a chord and it&#8217;s probably A minor,&#8221; as well as, &#8220;Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles.&#8221; UMG has denied the allegations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-8\">\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Drake&#8217;s decision to sue UMG has been extremely controversial. Earlier this week, A$AP Rocky weighed in on the situation, telling <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com\/culture\/celebrities\/a66047766\/asap-rocky-interview-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Elle Magazine<\/a><\/em> that he <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/947366-asap-rocky-drake-beef-lawsuit-hip-hop-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">wasn&#8217;t a fan of the move<\/a>. \u201cIt was healthy for hip-hop,\u201d\u00a0he said. \u201cThe battle was between Kendrick and Drake, not Drake and everybody else who might have said something at that time, and that\u2019s mainly why I fell back. I just hate the way it\u2019s turning out with [Drake] suing and all that. What part of the game is that? What type of s\u2014t is that?
