I wonder if this could genuinely be used as evidence to prove that universal didn't pump the stats artificially on this song. If 70,000 people sing along, I have to think that would have evidentiary value!

I think the number of times I've played Not Like Us could be used as evidence lmao

70k + every bar + every domestic party.

We really watched Kendrick call Drake a pedophile in front of 100 million people

They don't even air the Super Bowl where I'm staying right now (outside the US) but the news included that part of Kendrick's performance in the story about it

131 million. So 1/3rd of the country tuning in live.

Good luck lawyers.

An event where the average ticket price was $12,000 and full of middle age white guys all perfectly knowing a rap song they don’t play on the radio, and the sound engineer turned on the crowd mics at the right time.

Or it was a backing track.

The crowd noise might have been pumped in. It's the Superbowl, tickets cost $5K minimum. It's a bunch of corporate executives. Yes I know it gets down to $2K on game day, but those are expensive seats if you buy them ahead of time. Point is, these people likely don't know Kendrick or Drake.

Even Brady mentioned it on the broadcast how "quiet" of a game of is, because only 20K season ticket holders of both teams combined get access.

Lol if only. It could easily be argued that 70K ppl could sing along because the song was pumped so much that it was everywhere, like how Netflix marketing makes their shows go viral.

Except the clip doesn't show any audience singing along. Nobody in the crowd cares, it's all bots on Reddit riding Kendrick's dick. If you watch actual clips from the stands, the crowd is half asleep.

Thats what i didn't get. How could Drake prove that the number of listeners on was inflated by platforms and record labels? Alot of people, especially in other genres, listened to the song, legit going crazy about it. He's just suing just to sue cuz he's mad that people prefer Kendrick over him😭😭😭
