In new legal filings, the top executive has made his first public statements on the rapper's unprecedented lawsuit against his own label

Lucian Grainge, CEO of Universal Music Group, slammed Drake’s allegation that he was personally behind the release and promotion of Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us” in a letter to the court.

In a declaration letter, UMG's CEO was particularly blunt in describing Drake's legal moves as "groundless and indeed ridiculous," and also revealed that the company had spent "hundreds of millions" supporting the Canadian rapper.
