Starting point is 00:00:04 Ryan Cabot, I'm the lucky man who gets called by, called dad by three wonderful kids, Jackson, Alea, and Braden. And I'm a husband to my wife, Lexi. As a Chicago firefighter, we've been fighting for a new contract to help uniform members financially. We haven't received a pay grade step since 2017. It's been extremely taxing on my time and energy and not only our finances. I went out, I got another job to give my wife the opportunity to be home with our kids and raise them, rather than a daycare. I would love a vehicle.
Starting point is 00:00:37 All right, let me pause it right there. Analytic Dreams on video to see the video along with the audio because right now we're getting into the biggest, well, the quote unquote biggest giveaway ever on stream that was conducted by Drake and Aidan Ross. So let's put that out the way. Let's get back into it. Analytic Dreams on video,
Starting point is 00:01:00 well, analytic dreams video on Spotify to see the video. along with the audio. now firefighter real one chicago firefighter hey man firefighters got that no shout out to everybody across the world i'm not gonna lie i watched this entire stream and there was many moments like this where i was thinking to myself because obviously you just don't want to put drugs on anybody right but i was thinking to myself are they under the influence question mark that's all i was thinking the whole time watching the stream because it was some very interesting Let's see facial interactions, pause, no ditty.
Starting point is 00:02:08 And the overall interactions was very off and very interesting to watch. Doing the work that the rest of us can't even find them doing. Literally, you're a hero, bro. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Ryan, man. Ryan, pick up the phone, baby. Shout out to Ryan. What if they don't have FaceTime or anything?
Starting point is 00:02:30 I mean, you see the double cut right there. You see Drake look at, I think they're smiley. I believe that's smile. You see Drake looking at smiley, like, why are you asking the most nonsensical questions while I'm trying to give this money away? So anyways, let's keep going back into it. I'm about to break this down a second. I just want you all to see a part of what the entire stream was about. We're going to make you.
Starting point is 00:02:50 It's a crazy logistic question. Ryan, Drake, you're playing. Yo, Ryan. What's going on, my man? Ryan, it's great to meet you, brother. It's a pleasure to me to me. You know, listen. Listen, if you got, first of all, I just want to say, if you guys are, if you guys are from America, we need Ws in the chat for this legend right here.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Real Chicago firefighter, real legend. Are you crazy? W. Dad, W. Ryan. Yo, you're a hero, man. You're a hero, brother. Oh, thank you, man. Listen, obviously, we got your, we got your letter. We're going to get you. We're going to get you a vehicle for the family, right? I don't even care what happens with my gambling tonight. I'm giving you 20. I'm giving you 20. I'm giving you. 25k from me to you of course what do you mean of course brother i'm giving you a car i'm giving you 25k make sure somebody writes that down right now right all right so that's what the entire stream consisted of just drake being the male version of opra during the entire stream while also and i
Starting point is 00:03:56 have to put this in there because while this is a very monumental moment as far as far as is just giving away and showcasing how to give away because when you accumulate so much wealth to the point where you're willing to give away this much to random individuals it definitely showcases that giving back is definitely something you should do if you're more fortunate than others right because what goes around comes around is never great to be stingy with your wealth if you can afford to give back so that's why it's always good to give back But anyways, the reason why I'm talking about or giving a caveat or just the ultimate disclaimer to this life changing stream for many people, it's for the simple fact that Drake and Aidan Ross was streaming for steak. Now, if you don't know what steak is, it's a gambling site.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Ladies and gentlemen, I would tell you right now not to gamble because hence the word, you can end up. losing more than you think because it's a it's addicting and overall steak is promoting gambling because if you don't know these gambling companies have the biggest bag for content creators so me even speaking up like this on these type of companies is a huge pun intended gamble on my brand deals because i prefer to separate the two but sometimes when you look at you look at you. at something as far as being by far the biggest supporter of content creators when it comes to prize picks comes to fan duel and of course steak they have the biggest bag to give to influencers why is that because the people that they're influencing to gamble are losing majority of their money on
Starting point is 00:05:54 these sites so even though this is life-changing for a lot of people throughout the entire stream they went back into the reason that they are they were even streaming it was It was a contractual deal with steak to promote gambling. So on one hand, a lot of people are going to lose money by the influence of them gambling on steak. But on the other hand, it's such a monumental giveaway that it's a lot of gray area to how you can look at this event. But what's not gray area is the objective facts about what went on. So basically, this was a giveaway between Drake and Aidan Ross. obviously sponsored by stake it was on the platform kick exclusively so if you go to twitch if you go to
Starting point is 00:06:41 any other well this is off of youtube so i guess technically it's on youtube now but uh it exclusively happened the live stream exclusively happened on kick december 26 2024 now what it consisted of was a hundred thousand dollar prize for a toronto base artist slash entrepreneur 250 000 dollar prize for two two individuals, dream vacation for two couples, trip for two to see Drake in Australia in his 2025 tour that's coincidentally starting on the same day that Kendrick is going to perform at the Super Bowl. Just a little snap effect. One year's rent for two people. So these are monumental giveaways. Like this is ultimately something you can never discredit from anybody who is doing it. because if you discredit it, where's your $250,000 to give away?
Starting point is 00:07:36 Where's your three cards to give the families? Like, if you ain't got it, you can't discredit other people who give it away, right? You know, the famous phrase, it ain't tricking if you got it, is applied to the wealthy because guess what? They have it to give away. And if you're discrediting somebody from giving away a certain portion when you feel like they could have gave more, well, you put your giveaway up and let's see how much you're much you are willing to give away because obviously just the fact in the thought of the gift
Starting point is 00:08:07 is enough in itself you know how sometimes your family members will say to you it's the thought that matters it's basically because you're broke it's the thought that matters because you're broke if you give them a gift they are just like you know what this is the worst prize present gift whatever i ever receive so let me just just hit them with the phrase, it's the thought that matters. I'm sorry to break that harsh reality to you, but hey, somebody had to do it. So Drake is out here blessing families, blessing individuals, blessing a lot of people with life-changing financial gain
Starting point is 00:08:48 and life-changing tools as far as three cars for three families. And not only was the car, but not only did he give away three cars, but he also gave away the choice of a Lamborghini. guine or mercedes g wagon for one winner now that one i ain't a lot that's a little tough because if you give it to somebody who may not be as financially well off how are they going to upkeep the vehicle but that's just me that's going back on what i'll say about discrediting people who give away stuff i'm not living i'm not looking to give horse in his mouth i think that's how you say it paus but that's just a you know a very i think an understandable question to
Starting point is 00:09:31 present to the public. How are they going to upkeep it? Anyways, as far as how you could receive these prizes, fans emailed stories to Drake and Aiden through like a, they had like a whole system in place, right? You emailed them and explained why you are deserving on one of one of those prizes. And the participants had to be 21 plus years old, right? It was over 180,000 viewers of the live stream when it was happening uh winners were called obviously on live stream as you can see right now analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio basically after drake reading off their stories right they facetomed them and their reactions i ain't going to lie to you a straight priceless it really showcases how giving back makes the world
Starting point is 00:10:21 go around and never pays to be stingy so with that that's basically all i wanted to cover it's not a huge story, but the charitable aspect of it, I think is fantastic. I'm not saying this is a direct response to the Christmas drive that TDE and Kendrick had, but all I'm going to say is, and I could be completely making this up, but Kendrick Lamar performed GNX for the first time at the TDE Christmas concert, December 16th, 2020. And Drake and Aiden Ross's Christmas giveaway happened December 16th, 2024. 10 days after Kendrick performed at the Christmas concert.
Starting point is 00:11:17 I could be making it up. I don't even know why I got this information from, but maybe, just maybe, Drake is making it his lifelong mission to one up everything that Kendrick does. And with that be it said, click my link to your bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Drake and Aiden Ross having one of the most charitable streams of all time? And what was your biggest takeaway from this event?
Starting point is 00:11:44 So quick to pick up a gun. You're scared to take an ass weapon. This one makes you a man. When I was growing up, this was all the protection we needed. You win some, you lose some. But you live. You live. to fight another day.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Analytic Dreams video on Spotify to see the video along with the audio because right now I have the official document up on your screens as far as the actual withdrawal from Frozen Moments LLC, the company that's representing Drake, of course, and them pulling back their petitions that they filed back in November 24. for essentially, I think through November, December, and then mid-January, they figured out that we have to live to fight another day. Whenever you put out a freestyle and the producer of that freestyle conductor puts out that actual song on his YouTube channel and then guess who it gets copywritten by?
Starting point is 00:12:59 UMG so now the ultimate realization that you just sued a major conglomerate that's helped your career for decades so you can't release anything if you're suing us you're not going to be able to release anything not a freestyle not a well i guess he could put out audio book but you get you get the point right there's nothing that drake could release music wise because he's contractually under UMG so he is suing UMG. So now they're taking down anything and everything that has to do with new Drake music, which is why just yesterday, January 14th, 2025, we've received an update on Drake and this team coming to his senses as they have withdrew all petitions. Well, not all of them. We're going to get to that in a second. they've withdrew the order to show cause seeking pre-action disclosure and basically
Starting point is 00:14:02 the voluntary discontinuance of the special proceeding with no cost to any party now this is the important part in this entire document because the entire document is basically three pages uh three pages long so as far as you have uh it's really nothing on a third page and then you have the second page and then you have the first page right there's not too much on the second and third page besides like the actual date and the signatures and the attorney details and on the third page they basically have a service of notice um to UMG recordings and to Spotify USA and corporations attorney so with that this is the most interesting part of the whole withdrawal right
Starting point is 00:14:55 UMG reserved its position on the matter but Spotify has no objection to the withdrawal and discontinuance so now technically and oh this is another important fact the confirmation of them meeting like basically the parties involved there was it was confirmed that they met right so now when you come to this voluntary discontory discontory continuance with no cost to any party, one could assume that you basically came to a behind closed doors agreement to take away these petitions. Now, that brings me to my next point because everybody in the mom was screaming to the high heavens. And keep in mind, Drake is my favorite artist. So whenever I'm saying these things, it does not bring joy to my heart, but you have to keep it eight more than 92.
Starting point is 00:15:54 What's going on right now as far as Drake being positioned as the champion for independent artists and artists who get screwed over their 360 deals to major labels that they could never recoup on the advancement, right? People thought that Drake was going to spearhead that movement when in all actuality he was looking out for his own fetichini, his own Alfredo, his own guala. basically I'm talking about money so to compare it to another situation that would put it more in layman's terms this situation is like if lebron sued the NBA for letting kD join the warriors everybody would have came out in this situation like comparing the two this would be the same as if everybody came out and said that lebron was spearheading the movement for ending super teams right when in all actuality
Starting point is 00:16:54 because he supposedly lost down on rings because Katie joining the Warriors now you just look like you're bitter and upset that you lost that is the same situation with Drake versus UMG
Starting point is 00:17:11 Drake Kendrick are both under UMG Kendrick ended up defeating Drake in a rap battle mind you wasn't anything malicious as far as before the rap battle because if you don't know, when not like us came out, the bars that Kendrick sent towards Drake's way was really lightheart. If Drake would have just let that go, because if you realize that the deluxe edition for for all the dogs came out November 17, 2023, and that had red button on it, which basically
Starting point is 00:17:41 let you know that is when Drake and UMG were beefing. So now when that happens, and then the overall 100 gig, 100 gigs for your headtop comes out August 9, 2024, which makes it all come to a head because he's, he's basically releasing free documentary footage to the public, right, to his fans. And Lord knows how much UMG could have made off of that footage, right? So the Todd is back. So November 17th, 2023, Red Button came out on the deluxe edition for all the dogs. When it comes to Kendrick and his bars towards Drake. It was very lighthearted. I mean, we really have to start looking at the totality of this Kendrick versus Drake debacle. This man started off by saying, I have a K with
Starting point is 00:18:32 all these nines. He's going to see Pet Cemetery. We really have to compare that to what we have in today's age as certified level boy, certified. I think Kendrick didn't want to take it there, but obviously, like he said, in euphoria, he had to because Drake kept telling lies. don't tell lies about me and I won't tell truths about you which you know technically is twofold because he was still lying about the well you know at this point in time it seemingly the uh it's it's showcasing that he had no evidence for the PDF allegations and the daughter where's the daughter throughout this whole time I still want to know where the daughter's at Kendrick's been talking about this
Starting point is 00:19:19 imaginary daughter making up characters like he's the second coming of Stanley and nobody calls them out on it anyways all right my fault like i told y'all drake's my favorite artist i'd just be trying to keep it eight more than 92 you know what i'm saying all right back to the petition because i totally forgot what i was saying oh yeah so basically when a not like us verse came out if you're in the middle of negotiation from umg you're trying to get an extension why would you enter a beef a rap battle with kendrick when the bars towards you wasn't even that serious you could easily came out and had a interview like you had like when control came out and basically just de-escalated uh you could uh de-escalate the situation right similar to how when control came out kentrick basically said it wasn't that serious
Starting point is 00:20:10 it was just rap now you gain a full-fledged rat beef where the pdf the imaginary daughter all type of stuff is just coming out on you to the point where now you've lost the battle so bad it's been unprecedented the way that we've seen somebody just get drugged through the mud as far as lyrically. Now, you're suing the same label that you're both are under because guess what? You're saying that they helped him
Starting point is 00:20:38 beat you in a rap battle. When no, my brother, you just lost. And like the iconic scene from Friday, you win some, you lose some, but you live to fight another day. Because you brought this upon yourself and now you want to sue UMG. Now you want to take back the petition,
Starting point is 00:20:58 but guess what? If you look at page one of the document, UMG has reserved its position on the matter. They don't know if they want to forgive you or not. At this point, the ball is in their court. Should they forgive you or should they not? I mean, let's just look at the charts right now. UMG has 58% of the entire music market share.
Starting point is 00:21:21 so let me say this again UMG has 58% of the entire music market share y'all want to know who's under UMG currently just running the charts right now currently the most popular album in the world is little babies wham i know very unprecedented because he beat out bad bunny for his uh first week sales
Starting point is 00:21:42 but somehow little baby is putting up monumental numbers but anyways little baby's under UMG right scissors well no scissors under Sony uh Kendrick's on the UMG. Sabrina Carpenter's on the UMG. The entire wicked soundtrack that's like going crazy in the movie theaters and on DSPs because of Ariana Grande, like she's really, she's like Pee Wee Kirkland right now as far as actor and musician.
Starting point is 00:22:08 She's really running up the numbers on both. So anyways, that entire project is on the UMG, right? Billy Elish under UMG. Morgan Wallin, under UMG. I'm talking about some of the biggest. acts in the world. Taylor Swift, like, y'all don't have to, yeah, y'all don't need me to let y'all know that. UMG, I'm not going to say they don't need Drake, but for Drake to act out the way that he is when there's other artists that they could easily replicate his numbers with, like,
Starting point is 00:22:37 obviously, there's no rapper you could replicate Drake's numbers with. But as far as a Billy Islish, as far as a Taylor Swift, a Sabrina Carpenter, like, you get enough of those, you may just forget the whole rap genre, because now they're bringing in, billions of dollars meanwhile somebody's throwing the fit because he lost a rap battle so it's very apparent when i start to cover the entire music industry that this is just a very angry man right now what do they say in canada this is just an angry you because currently umg like i keep saying because this is the most important part of the whole entire document UMG has reserved this position on the matter, which is basically letting Drake know that we hold all the cards and guess what?
Starting point is 00:23:27 We don't know if we want to forgive you just yet. I do believe they'll probably end up forgiving Drake because Drake's still a pivotal player for UMG. I mean, he's one of the most streamed musicians in the world. But like I just went over the numbers, a lot of the albums in the top 10 most consumed in the world, majority of them are under UMG. so they can find they don't have to find another drake they could find two to three Sabrina carpenters and make that one Drake so yeah he's in a tough position but anyways there's some other things that and i've already covered this in detail as far as the entire uh document if you want to because this was probably one of my more standout segments i ain't gonna lie to you i feel like a
Starting point is 00:24:10 lawyer when i dove into these documents so if you look up drake crashes out analytic dreams it should pop up but basically the full title is Drake crashes out and sues UMG and Spotify over Kendrick Lamar's not like us and that I mean it's at like 30,000 right now as far as a view so you know people really enjoy it and I do um try to have actual like evidence when I'm talking about these things which is why I basically taught myself how to pull up these documents like because there's ways you could do it that I don't think a lot of people are aware of so Yeah, that's why I had to pull up the actual full document for y'all to see. So even though it's not too much on page two on page three, as you can see right here.
Starting point is 00:24:53 Like page three, like I said, like it just has the dates and stuff as far as who's the notice for. And then, of course, page two, page two has the dates again with signatures and attorney details for petitioner. And then, of course, page one is where all the meat and potatoes are technically. see if i can zoom in because i think i could see that you know i don't want to zoom in too much because then y'all can't see like majority of it so anyways y'all see the petition it's really not too much you get into i mean drake showed his hand and crashing out and now he's trying to take it back which brings me to the ultimate point that you win some you lose some but you live to fight another day now i have another point because drake currently does have one of the most played albums in the world y'all
Starting point is 00:25:44 want to know what that album is this is how you know i follow the music industry because these type of tidbits you will only know if you follow the music industry closely so ladies and gentlemen come uh let's go back to memory lane november 15th 2011 take care came out one of drake's greatest albums of all time right that album is currently the 46 most played album in the world but Technically, it's Drake's most played album as of right now. Now, why is that interesting? Because if you know anything about Drake's overall deal with UMG, you realize that his deal as far as him owning majority of the royalties and masters started in 2016 with views when OVO sound slash Republic Records was the prominent owner of the royalties, right? the reason why that's so significant
Starting point is 00:26:46 because it's almost like UMG is letting Drake know we made you so we're going to make the album that we own majority of the royalties to the most popular album for you currently so on DSPs no it's just in general
Starting point is 00:27:03 take care is Drake's most play album as of right now and that was back when Drake was signed through Young Money Entertainment Cash Money Records and y'all need push your tea to tell you again how that was signed to one man signed to three man to sign to four that's bad luck or whatever that line was that basically applied to drake back in 2010 and that was the same type of deal that he had for take care as far as the thank me later type of distribution so why would an album that drake holds less of the royalties and masters for it would be the most popular album at this time it's almost like umg is letting him know we dictate how this game goes and forever and always y'all need to know that so um yeah you can i mean basically if you look at the bottom of any album it would tell you so as far as thank me
Starting point is 00:28:00 later young money entertainment cash money records and universal motown like goodness how many people can own a slice of the pie like is there that how many slices you know how much deaths that how many Hughes like how many slices young money entertainment cash money records universal motown I mean goodness and they were all under UMG so anyways that was the same that was the same type of distribution model for take care and then nothing was the same you know the list got a little bit shorter because Drake's starting to boss up right so 2013 nothing was the same it was released under young money cash money and republic so now they cut out Motown specifically, right?
Starting point is 00:28:45 Now let's get to 2016. Now Drake has fully transformed into his super sane saga. Sorry, I'll watch anime like that, but y'all get what I'm saying, right? 2016 views OVO sound slash Republic Records and has been like that up until
Starting point is 00:29:04 today. So, very interesting how UMG is just playing with Drake in front of his face, not letting you release freestyles mind you through your producer conductor they took that down off of his official YouTube channel now they're looking at you and they're like hey guess what we're about to play with you a little more no ditty well actually i don't know but they made take care the most popular album from drake in today's age why is that even possible when obviously take care you know it's a great album but
Starting point is 00:29:38 when you think about it, how ironic and how much of a quinky dink that the album that Drake holds less of the shares and less of the royalties and masters for is the most popular in today's age shortly after. Because it used to be, for all the dogs used to be on this list as far as his most popular album, which obviously is under majority owned by him with OVO sound slash Republic Records. But now, shortly after your petition to sue and basically bite the hand that feeds you, now is reversed to now take care is the most popular album that's consumed right now. And you own less than like 20% of the overall masters and royalties too.
Starting point is 00:30:29 So very interesting. There was something else I want to get into, but I think that may have been it. Oh, not like us, obviously, is up for five Grammy nominations. Y'all don't need me to tell you that Kendrick has the opportunity to do one of the funniest things ever. As if you look up 2025 Grammy Award analytic dreams, basically, I talked about how the only rap song to ever win song of the year was technically a Drake did. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Childish Gambino said that this is America started out as a Drake disc. And that's the only, we've had Jay-Z, Kanye, 50 cent. I mean, Eminem, out of all people, you would have thought he would have won, like, record a year at some point.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Basically, all of these iconic rappers. And This Is America was the first hip-hop song to win record of the year. and Childish Gambino came out and said it started as a Drake disc. Well, guess what? Guess what is also nominated for Record of the Year. Yes, I swear, you can't even make this stuff up. Hold on. Let me see if I could bring this up.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Because as far as the Grammys, they know exactly what they are doing. They was tired of that speech when Drake was talking about how you don't need a Grammy and people showing up to your shows is real validation, which I technically, I definitely agree with that. but you know they didn't want to hear none of that so if you ever look up that speech really they was playing music throughout his entire uh artists uh try to see if i could find it okay so album record biancy this is a very incohesive list let's try to find something that's an actual website uh let me see ah billboard you got love when billboard put stuff behind it
Starting point is 00:32:38 paywall so this is we're going to do right quick type this in let me see copy this link don't try this at home kids even though i'm not showing you because you know i want you tried at home put this right here and guess what now we're past the paywall all you got love it so anyways uh here we go so record of the year right y'all let me know what this is right here let me see if i can find this what does it say oh let me make this bigger so you can see the full category that was kind of too big pause um let me see okay um here we go here we go record of the year category and then i wonder what track that is that i just highlighted i think that's not like us by kendrick lamar who would have thought
Starting point is 00:33:29 that another drake dis would be up for record of the year so that's what i'm saying that grammies have an opportunity to do something that's very hilarious as far as having two hip-hoping pop tracks winning record of the year. That's basically a Drake disc track. So with that being said, you know, Drake should probably realize that he's made a lot of powerful enemies and suing and biting the hand that feeds you and basically trying to sue your way out of them opening up that can,
Starting point is 00:34:05 as they said on Piccaboo, right? because after getting drug through the mud like you did lyrically, I just think that you're going away and then coming back for fire music, that would have been the best path of, that would have been the best action as far as a marketing strategy. But now, you crashed out. You crashed out. You sued your major label.
Starting point is 00:34:30 And not only that, but you announced a tour. And guess when the tour starts? I swear you can't make this stuff. up. The tour starts February 4th. Now, I just want you to look up some right quick because let me see. What else happens February 4th? I really can't put a finger. I really can't put a finger on it. I don't know what else happens on February 4th. So Drake announced that
Starting point is 00:35:02 so Drake announced that he's going on tour and it begins February 4th, right? And one of the dates is February 9th. Now, hmm, Super Bowl is set to be in New Orleans, Louisiana on February 9th, 2025. I swear you can't make this stuff up. Drake, honestly, is doing things in spite of Kendrick, and I think that's making his moves a lot more transparent than they otherwise would have been. If he were to sued UMG before the Kendrick Feast. Piasco, people or as far as him speaking up for the independent content creators and the musicians who were screwed in their music deal, it would hold a lot more credence.
Starting point is 00:35:57 But because it came after the fact of him getting verbally mutilated by Kendrick Lamar, it just holds a lot more, it's just a lot less credibility that you could put on his actual intentions. It seems very self-serving and basically it's all about him when he doesn't get his way. It's definitely like an angry child that's not getting his way that's been getting his way for the past like 10 to 20 years. So that's basically it. I mean, I do believe Drake, oh, this is another thing. I'm glad I kept this to the end. So Drake's going to release an album in like a week or two. When that album comes out, just realize the amount of marketing strategies that are lacking
Starting point is 00:36:55 and ultimately tie this into Drake withdrawing this petition because even though that Spotify, basically they said that they have no objection to the withdrawal and a discontinuous, meaning that they will let it go through, right? UMG on the other hand has reserved its position on the matter so that ultimately tells me that Drake could have made behind-the-scenes deal with Spotify but as far as UMG and specifically iHeart because the second petition as far as alleging that UMG funneled payments to iHeart radio to promote Kendrick Lamar's song and accuse UMG of defamation for releasing the track. That has not went away.
Starting point is 00:37:49 That has not been with draw. The second petition, as far as what I just named, right, that remains active. So he is still actively suing. Don't get it twisted.

Starting point is 00:38:46 Put the gun down. Like, what you doing? What you're doing, suing us? Come on, put up your dukes. So that's ultimately what Drake and UMG is doing right now. Because best believe this back and forth between UMG has only started as far as what can end up happening for the detriment of Drake's career.
Starting point is 00:39:11 So that being said, click my link to your in my bio. Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about Drake filing his petition to take away the first, well, basically filing to take away the first petition back in November, 2024? And ultimately, what do y'all think about the second petition still being active as far as him suing? So he's still suing UMG finaling payments to IHard Radio for Kendrick Lamar's song.
