In a motion filed on Monday, Drake's record label filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit over Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us." Universal Music Group fired back at the Canadian rapper calling his allegations “meritless.

In the motion, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, which was obtained and reviewed by TheWrap, UMG states the "rhetorical hyperbole" in the song is common in rap diss tracks and thus is not meant to be taken literally,

In his January 15 complaint, Drake, whose given name is Aubrey Drake Graham, said "Not Like Us" threatened his safety, led to attempted home break-ins, and forced the Canadian rapper to pull his seven-year-old son from school and the Toronto area.
