Drike got a green light to access the documentary documents of the company, which continues to defamity with Kendrick Lamar, is not like us.
The star asked for a copy of the contract for Kendrick Lamar’s record, as well as salaries and bonuses for top executives in their record music group (UMG).
Drake accuses the defamation campaign, allowing to publish and promote Lamar’s song, saying that she had spread a “false and malicious story” that he is a pedophile.
The Universal filed an application for dismissal of the case last month, calling it a “illogical” attempt “to remain silent.
He also asked for a pause in the process of collecting evidence known as Discovery, while this request was considered.
However, on Wednesday, Judge Jeanette and Vargas ordered the opening to continue.
Michael Gotlib, a leading lawyer, said the decision in the BBC statement.
“Now it’s time to see what UMG is so desperate to hide,” he said.
According to the court, the Draika team is looking for documents, including “all contracts between UMG and Kendrick Lamar”, as well as salaries and plans to stimulate the senior staff of the label, returning until 2020.
The UMG object against the request, saying that the process of “expensive and time consuming” collection “commercial information was” excessive load “when the case could still be rejected.
A hearing on dismissal is scheduled for June 30.
In the trial, Draika marks the last section in its long hostility with Lamar.
Last year, the couple pressed her head against the rap tracks series. One Drake accused Lamar of family violence.
Lamar replied not like us, in which he described Draik and his entourage as “certified pedophiles”, which should be “registered and located on the neighborhoods”.
In the court documents, Drake claimed that Universal knew that the lamara texts were false, but “continued to unravel the flames” of controversy.
The lawsuit also accused Universal of Spotify to falsely inflate the streaming numbers for not looking like both companies.
In response, the Universal, who has been label Drake for over ten years, said: “Not only these claims are not true, but also the concept that we seek to harm the reputation of any artist – not to mention Draika is illogical.”
“Throughout his career, Drake intentionally and successfully used UMG to distribute his music and poetry to make a conditionally outrageous” rap bites “to express his feelings for other artists.”
In addition, the label claimed that Drake “lost the rap -bit he triggered and in which he readily participated.”
“Now he is seeking to equip the legal process to silence the artist’s creative expression and seek losses in (universal) for the distribution of the music of this performer,” the company concluded.
Not like we became the biggest hit in Kendrick Lamar’s career. In the UK he became his first number one, shortly after that He spent it during the SUPER BOWL show on a half -moon In February.
