Drake made some progress in his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” after a judge denied Universal’s request to stay the discovery process and allowed Drake to proceed in requesting access to documents,

UMG was denied its request to delay discovery in the lawsuit after the company said Drake's document requests put an "undue burden" on the company.

UMG had previously requested that the court delay discovery. That motion has now been denied, meaning that Drake can proceed with requesting access to documents that UMG has called “highly commercially sensitive”, including Lamar’s contracts with the record label.
