Drake has settled a radio dispute! Back in November, the “God’s Plan” rapper filed a legal petition in Texas alleging that iHeartMedia had received illegal payments from Universal Music Group to boost radio airplay for “Not Like Us.” Reminder: UMG is the parent record label for both Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Well, in a court document obtained by AP Thursday, attorneys for Drake said the rapper and iHeartMedia had “reached an amicable resolution of the dispute.” Not offering any other information, they stated, “We are pleased that the parties were able to reach a settlement satisfactory to both sides.” In an email sent to AP on Friday, iHeartMedia declined to comment on the settlement. Drake’s claims against his label UMG remain active. How do you feel about Drake taking rap beef to the courtroom? Let us know in the comments.
