Drake has not endeared himself to the hip hop community. The rapper filed a petition against UMG for what he considered to be the application of illegal streaming "schemes." Drake accused Universal Music Group of using bots and other nefarious means of boosting Kendrick Lamar's diss song "Not Like Us" instead of his own music. The petition shocked many, who interpreted it as "pop star sues record label because he lost a rap battle," and took to social media to clown him. The most notable reactions, however, came from other hip hop figures.
Charlamagne Tha God took to social media to voice his disappointment in Drake's decision. He felt the rapper was being sensitive because the Kendrick Lamar battle did not go the way he intended. The host and media personality also felt that Drake was being impulsive. "Come on man," he stated. "Because you lost a rap battle? Dot said Squabble Up Not Lawyer Up.
