Earlier this week, Drake made it official and sued his record label, Universal, for artificially inflating Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss "Not Like Us" to knock Drake down a peg so they could negotiate better future deals with him.
Drake insider DJ Akademiks thinks this means Drake won't be dropping music for a minute.

"Him filing this lawsuit meant that Universal has to commission probably at least $1 million in responding, gathering some type of discovery 'cause that's what comes really next, filing motions Ak said. "It's gonna be a lot of money. They have obviously an extensive legal team, but now Drake is costing them money in court when he used to make them money on Spotify."
"That doesn't tell them that when Drake wants to drop his next project, or Drake wants anything, that they have any incentive to keep promoting Drake's career to make him a bigger star while he's trying to take money outside of the contract from them. It doesn't make sense," Akademiks continued. "So for me as a music fan of Drake, I look at this and say well he might as well just tell us to prepare for a cold winter because I don't think we're getting no new music from him. I don't want that, so that's why I think it's bad."
Does this make you sad?
