The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar continues as the former shocked the world after he filed a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group, accusing the label of spreading a false narrative after it promoted Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us.”
The lawsuit also mentioned names of content creators such as Kai Cenat, Zias, NoLifeShaq, RDC Gaming, and Cartier Family and that UMG allowed them to film reaction videos and subsequently monetize these without the record company enforcing copyright claims.
YouTube reactor Zias plans to sue Drake after involving his name in the lawsuit against UMG
Amid the heat ofDrakeandKendrick Lamar’s issue, YouTuber Zias, whose name was included in the rapper’s lawsuit, took to his livestream his frustration over getting involved in the scandal. He was seen contacting a lawyer to ask for legal advice on how he could counter-sue Drake for dropping his name in the complaint.

In a video clip shared onTwitter, Zias asked the lawyer what he could do in response to Drake’s accusation, which brought him tremendous anxiety. “I’ve been getting all kinds of threats, my family been getting threats, they been like finding my address, I just been distressed all day,” he said.

The lawyer advised him that he needed to prove the accusation had hurt his business and how it affected him personally. He also had to specify if he was losing brand deals and if the threats had caused him sleepless nights.
Zias and his co-YouTuber B. Lou were clearly distraught after seeing his name mentioned in Drake’s lawsuit. They have previously posted a 15-minutereaction videoto Lamar’sNot Like Uswhich garnered 6.6 million views.
Drake claimed the diss track in question was intended to convey that he is “a criminal pedophile” and that it suggests “the public should resort to vigilante justice,” as per his lawsuit posted viaCourt House News. The lyrics of the song repeatedly referred to him as a child s*x offender.

The lawsuit focuses on the recording company and how it decided topublish, promote, and monetize the allegationsagainst the rapper. It also firmly refuted the claims that Drake ever engaged in such criminal acts.
Drake’s possible reason for filing the lawsuit revealed
In another clip from Zias’ livestream, he revealed he talked to a UMG executive and asked about Drake’s possible motivation. The boss seemingly alleges the rapper was simply looking for a strategic way to get out of his deal.

Fans should take this with a grain of salt, of course, as there is no telling what the artist’s real motivation is at this point. Only time will tell what happens after this lawsuit, but it is an intriguing story to follow in the coming weeks.
