Drake has withdrawn his legal petition against UMG and Spotify in relation to Kendrick Lamar's Drake-aimed diss-track “Not Like Us."

Drake filed a shocking legal action against Universal Music Group and Spotify, accusing both companies of using a “scheme” involving bots and payola, all set up to boost the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s hugely successful Drake diss “Not Like Us.

UMG, Drake's own label, having publicly denied his allegations but never filed an opposition, reserved its position. The company said after the initial filing of the petition that the rapper's accusations that bots had been used to boost streams of "Not Like Us" and that it had been licensed at a reduced rate were "offensive and untrue."
