Forget the problem drake(just for a moment) his credibility on the street, because it's his lawyers who obviously know very little about it Kendrick Lamar …the guy who wrote the song they're suing UMG over.
A large portion of Drake's 81-page defamation lawsuit over “Not Like Us” refers to the danger the dissident track posed to the Toronto rapper – as the song “repeatedly suggests that violence should be used against Drake because he is a is a pedophile.” and “the recording repeats 'wop, wop, wop, wop' and then says that Lamar is 'going to finish her'.”
But here Drake's legal team goes overboard, writing… “Later, the record threatens that if Drake gets to Oakland, where Lamar grew up, he won't make it out alive: 'I think the show in Oakland is gone.' “Be your last stop.”

We suspect Drake didn't proofread his lawyers' work because, like all hip-hop fans, he's fully aware that K. Dot was born and raised in Compton, not the Bay Area.
Of course, Kendrick only made the Oakland reference because Drake was using an AI-created model Tupac voice in his diss track “Taylor Made.” “Pac is the one who spent his 20s in Oakland, so KL's lyrics simply imply that Oaktown won't forgive Drake.”
We know, we know…basic hip-hop knowledge.
TMZ broke the story… Drake dropped the lawsuit against his own label and criticizes UMG for releasing and promoting a song that calls him a “certified pedophile” – something he denies and which UMG says is false.
Many fans and streamers believe that filing a lawsuit over a rap beef will cost Drake some street cred – even more than losing the feud. His lawyers' typos don't help.
