Drake has just filed an amended complaint in his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, citing Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show performance of “Not Like Us” as broadening the audience for the diss track and causing “even more people to be duped into believing that Drake was a pedophile.” The artist’s legal team claimed that UMG intentionally caused harm to Drake by promoting Lamar’s Super Bowl performance after his initial lawsuit was filed, asserting that it “was the first, and will hopefully be the last, Super Bowl halftime show orchestrated to assassinate the character of another artist.” The amended lawsuit also claims that Lamar purposefully omitted an inflammatory line from “Not Like Us” in order to still be allowed to perform at the halftime show. “That is because nearly everyone understands that it is defamatory to falsely brand someone a ‘certified pedophile,’” the complaint reads.
