Universal Music Group has filed a motion to dismiss rapper Drake's amended defamation lawsuit against the music corporation over its release and promotion of Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning diss track "Not Like Us.

Drake himself has written and performed massively successful songs containing equally provocative taunts against other artists," the company said in a statement.

UMG says Drake's updated defamation complaint over Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" is legal "blather" and should be dismissed.
