On Tuesday, Drake posted a photo of Sofia Richie Grainge, Lucian Grainge's daughter-in-law, wearing an OVO shirt on his Instagram account, "plotttttwistttttt." Sofia is the only person Drake follows on this account. The Toronto rapper is suing Universal Music Group for defamation regarding Kendrick Lamar's diss track, "Not Like Us." Drake's post about Sofia has led to mixed reactions online, with some fans worried for his safety. One user on X (formerly Twitter) remarked that Drake seems unaware of the phrase "f*ck around and find out." Others criticized his actions, saying he only targets women. One comment stated it was troubling that Drake goes after women while another user wished he faced similar scrutiny as another artist does for similar behavior. Previously, Drake had shared a picture with Serena Williams' former manager, who joined Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday.
Drake claims in his lawsuit against UMG that the company is inflating the sales of Lamar's diss track to harm his brand during ongoing contract talks. In the song, Lamar makes several untrue statements, calling Drake and his team "certified pedophiles." Despite the lawsuit, Kendrick Lamar performed "Not Like Us" at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Before the performance, Drake's lawyers issued a statement about Universal Music Group. They accused UMG of pretending to support artistic freedom while ignoring serious issues like child abuse. The statement expressed confidence that the evidence gathered will reveal UMG’s focus on profits and bonuses over the well-being of its artists and the truth.
