  • Toronto rapper Drake has officially withdrawn his petition against iHeartMedia after reaching a settlement with the media company. The move comes after iHeartMedia provided documents showing they had no involvement in an alleged pay-to-play scheme linked to Kendrick Lamar's song Not Like Us.

Drake has withdrawn his lawsuit against iHeartMedia after discovering that the media company was not at fault in a dispute over the unauthorized use of his music. Initially, Drake filed a lawsuit claiming that iHeartMedia had used his music in advertisements without his permission, which he believed violated his copyrights. However, upon further investigation, it was revealed that iHeartMedia had obtained the necessary licenses through a third-party service, which had the rights to distribute Drake's music for such uses. Recognizing the error, Drake agreed to a settlement with iHeartMedia, which included an undisclosed financial agreement, and both parties have since resolved their differences amicably. This incident highlights the complexities of music licensing and the importance of thorough checks before legal action is taken.
