The second civil suit for defamation, filed against both iHeartMedia and UMG, accuses the companies of knowingly damaging Drake’s reputation. iHeartMedia, headquartered in San Antonio, is named as a co-defendant alongside UMG in this case.

Drake files second claim over Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us,' saying he believes UMG allowed him to be defamed as a "pedophile" and used "payola."

In legal filings, Drake accuses Universal Music Group of using deceptive practices to boost a “diss track” by Lamar.
