On December 20, Spotify slammed Drake’s accusations of “artificially inflating” the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “ Not Like Us ” with the use of bots and colluding with UMG in a payola scheme. Now, Drake’s legal team is firing back.

Spotify has made an official statement denying Drake's claims in a legal filing last month that the streaming numbers for Kendrick Lamar's song "Not Like Us," which took powerful verbal shots at the Canadian rapper, were "artificially inflated."

The streaming platform asserts it "has no economic incentive" for users to stream ‘Not Like Us' over any of Drake’s tracks.
