Wiz Khalifa Throws Some Shade At Drake For His “Not Like Us” Petitions

It’s no secret how most of the hip-hop world and fans alike are feeling about Drake right now. It really is a “20 V 1,” as almost everyone is completely against him for filing two pre-action petitions. They both involve UMG, as well as Spotify and iHeartRadio, and he’s accusing them of artificially boosting play of Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.” Most of the damage is looking to be done to UMG though, as Drake is also accusing them of defamation for allowing the diss track to drop. As you all are aware by now, Lamar throws some pedophilic allegations his way on it.

After filing the first petition to New York and the other to Texas last month, there are now hearing dates for both. According to XXL, his court date involving Spotify and UMG will take place next year on January 16 at the New York Supreme Court. As for the defamation issue, that hearing date is much sooner. In fact, it’s coming up on December 19. It’s worth noting that none of these have gone to the extent of a lawsuit just yet, as Drake and his legal reps are still trying to gather more information to back his claims.

Regardless of how you want to classify them, though, the response to them has been not so nice, as we said. Most of the attention has shifted to Jay-Z‘s recent allegations as of late, but the topic is still very much a hot one. So, it comes as no surprise that Shannon Sharpe recently spoke about it on his Club Shay Shay platform. He did so with Wiz Khalifa, his latest guest on the show.

Overall, he’s not shocked that Drake would do such a thing. In interview, he recognizes that he’s a musician and a businessman, and a smart one at that. He especially feels that way in terms of the latter, saying, “If he’s not in the public eye winning musically, he’s going to get a win wherever he can. I mean it’s just the smart thing to do… [Drake] is playing it exactly how he’s supposed to.” However, people are clipping one part of that conversation and running with it. They are of the belief that Wiz Khalifa actually disses Drake instead. It happens when Sharpe asks if Wiz believes he took it to far by suing Lamar. To that, he said, “Nah it sound like a Drake move to me.” You can take it how you want, but we disagree slightly.
