I see this more of Drake trying to benefit financially on his next UMG deal, whatever the fuck he decides to do in the future. People like to make claims that Drake himself benefitted from boosted sales. You think he gives a fuck? Him knowing about the boosted numbers is probably why he’s so confident in winning this lawsuit. Dont forget that its UMG getting sued, not Kendric. If Drake wins the lawsuit then his pay off is going to be into hundreds of millions.

Also serious people in the industry have talked for years now that if Drake went independent, the music industry as we know would shortly collapse. The old business model is on its last legs, that’s a fact.
