Drake Accuses Apple of Favoring Kendrick Lamar

Drake has escalated his feud with Kendrick Lamar by accusing Apple of being involved in a scheme to promote Lamar's track 'Not Like Us' over his own album 'Certified Lover Boy' via a Siri malfunction. In a recent court filing, Drake alleges that Universal Music Group (UMG) paid Apple to intentionally misdirect users to Lamar's song instead of his when requested through Siri. This claim is rooted in the accusation that Siri plays 'Not Like Us,' which contains lyrics that insult Drake, when users specifically ask for his music. Although Apple is not the primary target of Drake's lawsuit, the allegations suggest a bizarre scenario reminiscent of historical payola practices in the music industry. Critics suggest that this claim lacks substantial credibility and may stem from Siri's occasional performance errors. Despite the controversy, the issue may largely involve Spotify's platform rather than Apple Music, which seems to perform correctly when playing Drake's tracks.
