Rapper, Soulja Boy, is having a field day, trolling Canadian megastar, Drake, over recent legal issues emanating from his camp.

Reports say Drake is currently taking action against his entertainment group, UMG, as well as Spotify and iHeartRadio, and it is all concerning Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” with Drake looking to prove that UMG and the streaming service have been artificially boosting stream.

In addition, Drake is he’s accusing the corporation of defamation because they allowed the ped*phile claims to make their way onto the viral diss track.

Plies is also refusing to help matters, by making others aware of the challenge of choosing papers over bars.

The veteran Florida rapper recently filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Meghan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Cardi B and Soulja Boy, per reports by AllHipHop. He is alleging that the latter’s “Pretty Boy Swag” beat is the exact same as his 2008 track, “Me & My Goons.” For clarification, the three musicians are in this suit due to GloRilla  sampling the instrumental from Soulja on her record, “Wanna Be.”

Soulja Boy is reportedly preparing to respond and call out his contemporaries regardless of how things play out, as was in the case of Metro Boomin’.

The “Crank That” star is not too excited with Plies’ approach, labeling him broke and affirming that the “Pretty Boy Swag” beat is original.

In other news, On October 1, 2024, Drake took an unusual decision to review his connections on social media.

The OVO co-founder was following lots of notable rappers and celebrities on Instagram, despite their seeming willingness to clown him. LeBron James was at Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” show on Juneteenth.

He was also caught on camera talking about how much he liked Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss. It seemed like Drake finally pulled the trigger on axing King James from his circle. He unfollowed the NBA superstar on Tuesday, along with a host of other big names.
