As the NFL playoffs commence, we move ever nearer to one of the most anticipated events on the 2025 television calendar – Super Bowl LIX promises to be an exhilarating evening for numerous reasons, particularly since it seems like the conclusion to the rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. With Kendrick Lamar gearing up for his performance in New Orleans, a significant update has occurred regarding Drake’s previous legal dispute over “Not Like Us.
2024 saw Drake filing a lawsuit against Universal Music Group and Spotify, alleging they manipulated the streaming numbers of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” using AI technology. Some figures in the entertainment world were skeptical about the case’s merits, but Drake’s legal team remained resolute, believing they had strong evidence supporting their claims.
How Drake Made A Major Move With His Complaint Against UMG And Spotify
According to Variety’s report, Drake and his company, Frozen Moments, have dropped their request for a hearing regarding specific documents and communications from both parties. This decision follows a meeting between Drake and Spotify representatives, who contested the initial request, and no one opposed the withdrawal of the request. Universal Music Group (UMG) did not file an opposition either and maintained its original stance. In simpler terms, the legal case in New York has been dismissed without any party incurring financial costs.
In New York, Drake concluded a lawsuit, but HypeBeast mentioned that Drake’s legal action against UMG and iHeartRadio, which shares similar allegations, remains active in Texas. This case is scheduled for hearing on January 28th, so unless Drake decides to withdraw this complaint as well, the legal saga persists regarding him.
When Is Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Happening?
While Drake takes steps in the legal realm, Kendrick Lamar gears up for his Super Bowl LIX halftime show. Despite the buzz around his impending performance, Kendrick appears unperturbed, even when Lil Wayne expressed disappointment over not getting to perform in his hometown’s event.
Currently, there’s still some uncertainty about what Grammy-winning artist plans for his highly anticipated halftime show. Usher hinted that he might play his popular hits, and while this is likely true, Kendrick Lamar recently released a new album, “GNX,” in November. His song “TV Off” is expected to be included, and I’d wager he’ll perform “Not Like Us” too. Additionally, “Humble” seems like another track that will surely make the cut, but we’ll have to wait and see what else he has up his sleeve.
I can’t help but ponder over what Drake might feel about the prospect of “Not Like Us” being played at the Super Bowl. Yet, it’s indisputable that both artists have earned respect for their roles in one of the most gripping rap feuds of recent decades. Snoop Dogg and many others in the industry have acknowledged their impressive performances, and regardless of past events, this feud has left an indelible mark on rap history.
The Super Bowl 59 will be broadcasted on Fox at 6:30 pm Eastern Time on Sunday, February 9th. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a thrilling matchup and an amazing half-time performance!
