Rumors of Universal Music Group Mediating Kendrick Lamar and Drake Feud Debunked
The ongoing feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has taken a new twist with rumors circulating that Universal Music Group (UMG) was working behind the scenes to end the beef between the two rap superstars. However, TMZ has debunked these claims, stating that there have been no meetings between UMG, Kendrick, and Drake regarding the feud.
According to sources, UMG has had no involvement in the dispute and would not interfere in such matters. The conglomerate has actually benefited from the feud, with both artists generating massive streaming numbers in recent weeks.
The false rumors suggested that UMG wanted Kendrick to apologize to Drake for calling him a “pedophile” and that the feud was causing financial losses for the record company and brands associated with Drake, such as Nike. The anonymous social media user also claimed that UMG pressured Drake to issue a statement retracting the damaging allegation.
Drake addressed Kendrick’s accusations in his diss track “The Heart Part 6,” denying any involvement with underage individuals and expressing disgust at the insinuations. He also took a swipe at Kendrick’s fiancée, Whitney Alford, in the song.
Despite the rumors, it seems that the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake is far from over, with both artists continuing to exchange diss tracks and fueling speculation among fans.
