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.

A$AP Rocky has referred to himself as a “loving husband,” adding more fuel to the ongoing speculation about his marriage to Rihanna.
In an interview with Perfect Magazine, the rapper opened up about his family life with Rihanna and their three children. When asked what brings him the most happiness, he made it clear that his family always comes first.
Seemingly confirming marriage rumors, A$AP said, “Being a father, a partner, and a loving husband in my family is what truly makes me happy.”
He went on to add, “What really drives me is being creative, being a family man, and being an artist.”
A$AP shares three children with the Diamonds singer: sons RZA, who is three, and Riot, who is two, along with their newborn daughter, Rocki Irish, who was born in September.
Just last month, the 37-year-old artist stirred speculation once again when he teased during an interview with Elle, “How do you know I’m not already a husband?”
However, he stopped short of confirming their relationship status, adding, “I’m still not going to confirm it.”
This isn’t the first time A$AP has hinted that he and Rihanna might already be married.
Back in June 2023, he dedicated a song to his “beautiful wife” during a live performance at the Cannes Lions festival.
A$AP has always been open about how much his family means to him.
In September, he told GQ that Rihanna and their children are the center of his world, saying, “I’ve got nothing but love to give to these little ones. As you can see, most of my heart belongs to my family.”
