Drake Appeals Court Ruling in UMG Defamation Case Over Kendrick Lamar Diss Track
Drake isn’t done fighting. The rapper has filed an appeal after a federal judge dismissed his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), pulling his long-running dispute with Kendrick Lamar back into the spotlight.
The issue traces back to Not Like Us, Lamar’s explosive track released in May 2024 during their very public rivalry. The song dominated streaming platforms, sparked endless debate online, and became a cultural lightning rod. But behind the viral success was a line that Drake’s lawyers say went too far. They claim it falsely painted him as something he’s not, damaging both his reputation and his brand.

Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas threw out the suit, finding that Lamar’s lyrics were part of rap’s long-standing battle tradition: provocative, exaggerated, and not meant to be read as literal fact. In her ruling, the judge said the track was “non-actionable opinion,” meaning it fell under the umbrella of artistic expression.

Drake’s legal team disagrees. The newly filed appeal asks a Manhattan court to decide whether UMG’s involvement in distributing and promoting the song could make the label responsible for amplifying defamatory claims. It is an unusual argument, one that questions how much accountability major labels carry for the content they release when personal attacks reach a massive audience.

UMG has maintained its position, saying Drake’s complaint misrepresents how rap culture operates. Diss tracks, the label argues, have always lived in a space of creative combat where bravado and exaggeration are part of the game. But Drake’s latest move points to something deeper: a belief that the old boundaries no longer fit the modern music landscape where streaming turns every feud into a global headline.
If he wins, the outcome could set a major precedent, not just for artists but for the business that profits from their rivalries. For Drake, this is no longer just about a song. It is about control, reputation, and how far the industry will go in the name of entertainment.

Away from modeling, Presley had spoken publicly about his experiences with mental health, substance use and treatment. During a 2023 appearance on the Studio 22 podcast, he discussed his personal experiences and his hopes that speaking openly could help others facing similar difficulties.
His family had also spoken publicly about his struggles. In a 2026 interview with Vogue, Kaia discussed her brother’s long struggle with addiction and the effect it had on their family. She also spoke about being proud of Presley for discussing his difficulties openly.

Crawford had also shared personal moments involving her son. In July, she posted a photograph of Presley as a young boy and wrote about how proud she was of the man he had become while still seeing him as her little boy.
The family has asked for privacy as the investigation into Presley’s death continues. The medical examiner has not yet determined the official cause or manner of death.

Millie Bobby Brown Welcomes Second Child With Husband Jake Bongiovi
Millie Bobby Brown is now a mom of two, as she and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have welcomed their second baby together through adoption.
Earlier this month, on September 7, Brown gave a hint that her family may have grown when she shared a video from a family trip to the Dolomites in Italy. In the video, Brown was seen holding her daughter while Bongiovi walked alongside her with a baby carrier strapped to his chest. Though the post did not directly announce that they had welcomed another child.

The couple later confirmed the news in a joint Instagram post on September 17, where they shared a close-up photo of their newborn’s hand with the simple caption, “Hi little guy!” The post confirmed that their second child is a boy.
The arrival of their second child comes nearly a year after Brown announced that she and Bongiovi had welcomed their first daughter through adoption in August 2025. At the time, Brown shared the news on Instagram, writing, “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond ecstatic to embark on this beautiful next chapter of our family, filled with both peace and privacy.” She ended the post with, “And then there were three.”

Brown has also been open about how she has always wanted to adopt. During a June appearance on Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, she explained that adoption had been part of her childhood dreams. “It was always part of my childhood dreams,” she said. Brown recalled that when she was around five or six years old, her parents would tell her that her baby dolls were all adopted. “I never had any of them myself. And I never pretended I was pregnant,” she said.
She later clarified that wanting to adopt did not mean she had ruled out having biological children. “It’s not because I don’t want that. Hopefully one day that’s in my future,” Brown said. She also shared how she views adoption, adding, “Adoption is love. Adoption is forever.”

Brown and Bongiovi began dating in 2021 and got engaged in April 2023. They got married in May 2024 in a private ceremony surrounded by close family, before later holding a larger wedding celebration in Italy.
They have not revealed much concerning their children’s lives, choosing to keep most of those details away from the public. Brown previously spoke to British Vogue about wanting her daughter to have the choice of whether she wants a public profile when she is older.
