Drake’s ongoing legal battle with his label, Universal Music Group, has escalated. The artist filed a lawsuit in federal court today, accusing UMG of harming his reputation and endangering him for profit.

Drake's legal team said UMG used its resources to "elevate a dangerous and inflammatory message that was designed to assassinate Drake’s character."

Drake claims UMG valued “corporate greed over the safety and well-being of its artists" by promoting the Grammy-nominated hit.
