Charlamagne Tha God went off on a heated rant about Drake and labeled the Toronto rapper the "donkey of the day" during the latest episode of The Breakfast Club. He discussed Drake's decision to take legal action against Universal Music Group, arguing that his complaints in the filing are hypocritical. Drake has accused the label of allegedly artificially boosting the streams of Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us."
"Whatever the label UMG was doing to promote 'Not Like Us,' they were doing the same thing for you your whole career. If one of those diss records you put out would've taken off and been a cultural phenomenon like 'Not Like Us,' the record label would've pushed that too," Charlamagne argued.
Charlamagne then turned his attention to Drake's defenders. "Anybody acting like this is anything more than Drake's feelings being hurt, you a hoe too," he remarked. "An O-V-Hoe to be exact. 'He's fighting the same war that Michael Jackson fought. Drake is taking a stand for the art and the artist.' People who are running with that narrative would hold Drake's penis while he pees and shake it for him when he's finished." Before wrapping up, Charlamagne joked that Lamar told Drake to "squabble up" not "lawyer up."
Charlamagne also recommended Drake take a page out of J Cole's playbook and focus on nostalgia and take fans back to the good old days. Cole is currently adding his mixtapes to streaming services and releasing an audio series documenting the making of them. Check out Charlamagne Tha God's full take on Drake suing Univeral Music Group below.

Drake has been heavily criticized by Charlamagne Tha God over his legal action against Universal Music Group.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club on Monday (December 2), Charlamagne outlined his feelings on Drizzy’s allegations that the music giant used payola and streaming bots to boost the popularity of Kendrick Lamar‘s diss track “Not Like Us,” as well as his claim of defamation because of the song’s content.
“I told you Drake was going to sue. He is a multi-billion dollar entity; no multi-billion dollar entity is going to allow you to call him a pedophile or sex offender and not take some sort of legal action,” he began.
The radio host went on to warn that Drake could be opening a can of worms because of things he said on his own diss tracks: “The person who has the real defamation case in this situation is Kendrick’s woman [Whitney Alford], because Drake not only said Kendrick was beating on her, he said that Dave Free, Kendrick’s business partner and friend, was the real father to one of Kendrick’s kids.
“So if you’re going to accuse somebody of defamation, you must first make sure you, too, aren’t guilty of defamation. Drake saying that Kendrick defamed him is indeed the pot calling the kettle beige.”
Charlamagne continued to tear into the 6 God by branding him “Donkey of the Day” and accusing him of being a hypocrite, a sore loser and a Hip Hop outsider who “simply doesn’t understand culture.”
“There was a time when Drake was on the cover of every playlist on Spotify,” he said. “Stop acting like you haven’t been the beneficiary of record label tricknology. You being a whole ho simply because you lost.
“Simply because Kendrick Lamar kicked your ass — lyrically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Anybody acting like this is anything more than Drake’s feelings being hurt, you a ho, too. An O-V-ho to be exact.”
He added: “Drake, you’re in this position because you tapped out after you heard ‘Not Like Us.’ Kendrick dropped too much tune for your headtop […] You could’ve gone into the studio and give us a bop! But you chose not to. Kendrick won. And he told you to squabble up, not lawyer up.”
The media personality wrapped his lecture by offering Drake some advice: “Take a break, go away. Let nostalgia bring you back, people will miss you. You see what J. Cole is doing. People don’t even care he tapped out of the rap battle anymore!”
It is not yet clear if Drake intends to file a lawsuit against UMG regarding the aforementioned claims. The Toronto native has not spoken publicly on the “pre-action” legal filings or the backlash to them.
