Drake Settles Legal Action Against iHeartMedia In Dispute Over ‘Not Like Us’

Drake has reached a settlement with Texas-based iHeartMedia in his ongoing legal dispute over Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us,” according to court records.

 

In November, Drake filed a legal petition in Bexar County, Texas, where San Antonio is located, alleging that iHeartMedia had received illegal payments from Universal Music Group to boost radio airplay for “Not Like Us.” UMG is the parent record label for both Drake and Lamar.

 

The petition, a precursor to a potential lawsuit, had sought depositions from corporate representatives of both companies.

 

In a court document filed Thursday, attorneys for Drake said the rapper and iHeartMedia had “reached an amicable resolution of the dispute” but did not offer any other information.

 

“We are pleased that the parties were able to reach a settlement satisfactory to both sides, and have no further comment on this matter,” Drake’s legal team said in a statement.

 

In an email Friday, iHeartMedia declined to comment on the settlement.

 

The claims against UMG remain active, and a hearing on a motion by UMG’s lawyers to dismiss the petition was scheduled for Wednesday in a San Antonio courtroom.
