Media Take Out just received a blockbuster report. Kendrick Lamar may not be performing at the Superbowl after all.
Drake’s legal team sent a cease and desist to the National Football League, warning them that he will bring a multi billion dollar lawsuit, if they allow Kendrick to perform his hit song Not Like Us, on the Superbowl.
Yesterday Drake filed a preliminary notice of lawsuit against Universal Music Group, it’s the first step in a multi-billion dollar lawsuit against UMG and Kendrick Lamar for defamation.
We’re told from people close to Drake that he plans on filing a defamation lawsuit against Kendrick, for calling him a p*d*file in his music. But Kendrick doesn’t have enough money, so Drake is trying to rope his record label, Universal Music, into the lawsuit.
He’s doing so by arguing that Universal Music Group (UMG) used a network of bots, in conjunction with a so-called pay-to-play scheme, to “manipulate and saturate the streaming services and airwaves” with Lamar’s smash hit song “Not Like Us,” all to Drake’s detriment.
And his lawyers informed the National Football League, that if they allow Kendrick to perform Not Like Us, they will be named in the lawsuit as well.
The National Football League is taking it VERY seriously. A source tells us that the NFL already instructed Kendrick that he is not allowed to perform Not Like Us At Superbowl. But that may not be enough.
While no official decision has been made yet, Media Take Out confirmed that discussions are being held – at the highest levels – to possibly have Kendrick removed from the Superbowl.
