In a twist that sounds like a summer blockbuster, Universal Music Group’s big boss, Lucian Grainge, is calling Drake’s lawsuit absurd. The Canadian superstar is claiming Grainge had a hand in the release of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” a suggestion that has Grainge laughing—albeit probably not in good humor. The CEO insists he’s much too busy juggling a multibillion-dollar label to meddle in a beef that’s got hip-hop heads buzzing.
Can you imagine the sheer chaos of running such a big empire while trying to manage feuds between artists? Grainge made it clear he’s not the puppet master behind the scenes, calling the claims “groundless and ridiculous.” He pointed out that it would make no sense for him to sabotage Drake’s career after investing a fortune in it. It’s like pouring your heart and soul into a perfect souffle, only to go and smash it on purpose just because the oven got too hot.
Now, with the industry drama heating up, we’re left to wonder: How will this affect the relationship between two major players in hip-hop? Will it lead to more diss tracks or possibly even a feuding album? The waiting game is on, and in the world of music, anything can happen. So grab your popcorn, folks; this theatrical showdown is just getting started!
