The rap artiste Drake has sued Universal Music Group NV for defamation in US federal court, accusing the company of putting his life in danger by releasing and promoting a song by his rival and labelmate Kendrick Lamar.
In a complaint filed in the Southern District of New York on Wednesday, Drake - whose given name is Aubrey Drake Graham - detailed multiple incidents of violence that occurred at his home in Toronto last spring after Universal released Lamar’s so-called diss track Not Like Us.
