I don't listen to hiphop, and this is the first I'm hearing about this.

UMG approved, published, and launched a campaign to create a viral hit out of a rap track that falsely accuses Drake of being a pedophile and calls for violent retribution against him

This sounds pretty bad. And if UMG marketed it as much as the lawsuit claims, maybe he actually has a case.

And this actually resulted in a shooting and break-ins.

Dude is a pedo though...

Drake was arrested on November 24, 2019, and was later indicted on charges of Attempted Coercion and Enticement of a Minor in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2422(b) and Attempted Use of Interstate Facilities to Transmit Information About a Minor in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2425.

On April 8, 2021, after a four-day trial, a jury found Drake guilty on both counts.
