Drake’s Hearing In UMG Legal Battle Delayed Over Miscommunication
A hearing in Drake’s legal battle with Universal Music Group (UMG) has been delayed due to a miscommunication. The delay was announced by a judge, who cited a failure to properly serve the necessary paperwork to Drake’s legal team.
The dispute between Drake and UMG stems from a 2017 contract that Drake signed with the music company. The contract reportedly includes a clause that gives UMG control over Drake’s music catalog, including his master recordings.
Drake has been seeking to terminate the contract, claiming that UMG has failed to provide him with the level of creative control and revenue he was promised. UMG has responded by accusing Drake of attempting to breach the contract and seeking to have the court enforce its terms.
The delayed hearing is the latest development in a contentious legal battle that has been ongoing for several years. It is unclear when the hearing will be rescheduled or what the outcome will be.
