Drake's home was besieged by violent criminals, including a potential murderer, after Kendrick Lamar released his diss track Not Like Us, according to court documents

Drake’s home was besieged by violent criminals, including a would-be murderer, after Kendrick Lamar released his diss track Not Like Us, court documents show.

The Canadian rapper, 38, filed a lawsuit Wednesday against his own label, Universal Music Group, for spreading the “false and malicious narrative” that he is a pedophile, which he says has led to attacks on his life and the lives of its employees.

Court documents seen by DailyMail.com detail the gruesome scene at the rapper’s Toronto mansion when his bodyguard was nearly killed just hours after Kendrick released the song on May 7.

An armed group showed up at Drake’s $100 million home in the middle of the night while the rapper was inside, the complaint alleges.

The car apparently stopped in front of the house and someone shouted “f**k Drake” before a gunman opened fire, with one bullet seriously wounding a security guard, who is also the rapper’s boyfriend.

“As the car drove away, Drake and others in the home called for help for the security guard and did everything they could to keep him alive,” the lawsuit states.

“For the nearly thirty minutes it took for the ambulance to arrive, Drake and others tried to keep the man alive by applying pressure to the gunshot wound with towels. There was blood everywhere.’

The guard, who has not been named, spent days in the hospital being stabilized but survived the incident, according to Drake’s legal filing. The shooter was never arrested.

Drake says in court documents that UMG knew Lamar's diss track would contain lyrics and images in a music video that referred to him as a pedophile.

Drake says in court documents that UMG knew Lamar’s diss track would contain lyrics and images in a music video that referred to him as a pedophile.

The day after the shooting, on May 8, an intruder “used his bare hands to dig a hole under the security fence surrounding” Drake’s home. The intruder managed to get in and “yell racist insults and threats at Drake” before security guards escorted him out.

At the time, police said they had arrested an unnamed man outside the mansion under the Mental Health Act.

Then, on May 9, another burglary attempt occurred, Drake said.

Drake says in court documents that UMG knew Lamar’s diss track would contain lyrics and images in a music video that referred to him as a pedophile.

He accuses UMG of allowing the “inflammatory and shocking allegations” because the song was a “gold mine” for the company.

The rapper claims that UMG did everything they could to promote Not Like Us because they knew it would devalue Drake’s music and give them leverage in future contract negotiations. Drake’s contract is up for renewal in 2025.

According to the lawsuit, UMG paid a third party to use bots to increase the song’s streams by at least 30 million.

The company is also alleged to have engaged in a ‘pay for play’ scheme with at least one radio promoter and classified the song as a ‘chart topper’ based on fraudulent data.

It comes as Kendrick prepares to perform at the Super Bowl in New Orleans next month.

Drake mentions the performance in the lawsuit, claiming that UMG was there to get Kendrick the performance so the song could be released at “one of the most important (and watched) cultural events of the year.”

The lawsuit also makes a point of stating that it is not against Kendrick himself: “This lawsuit is not about the artist who created Not Like Us.

“Instead, it’s all about UMG, the music company that decided to publish, promote, exploit and monetize a song that contained false claims.

Drake also said the song put him in danger, citing the numerous shootings near or at his Toronto mansion since its release.

Not Like Us broke several chart records after spending 21 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot Rap chart, and spending 22 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart – where it reached number one twice.

It has been played over 914 million times on Spotify, while ranking third on the Rap Streaming Songs chart.

The rapper had already filed a lawsuit against UMG and Spotify in New York state court, but he withdrew it to file a federal case instead.

After the state’s case was filed, UMG told DailyMail.com: ‘The suggestion that UMG would do anything to undermine one of its artists is insulting and untrue. We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and promotional campaigns.

Since things turned sour, both rappers have continued to release numerous back and forth diss tracks about each other (Drake pictured in 2022)

However, the feud entered new territory in May when Lamar (pictured in 2023) made some serious accusations about Drake on Not Like Us

Since things turned sour, both Kendrick Lamar (RIGHT) and Drake (LEFT) have continued to release numerous back-and-forth diss tracks about each other

“No amount of contrived and absurd legal arguments in this pre-action entry can mask the fact that fans choose the music they want to hear.”

Drake and Kendrick, arguably two of the biggest hip-hop voices in the world, have been embroiled in a fierce rivalry for years.

More than ten years ago, the pair collaborated on a few songs, but that didn’t last long. In 2013, Pulitzer Prize winner Kendrick appeared in Big Sean’s Control, calling out a slew of contemporary rappers including Drake, J. Cole, Meek Mill, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, Big KRIT, Wale, Pusha T and even Big Sean among them.

In subsequent years, the rappers launched disses against each other with less frequency.

The feud entered new territory in May 2024, when Kendrick, 36, made some serious accusations on Not Like Us, which was released shortly after he released Meet The Grahams — another diss track in which the Compton native addresses Drake’s son: ” I’m sorry that man is your father.’

Kendrick also addresses Drake’s parents, and “a girl,” claiming Drake has a secret daughter. He also labels Drake a “predator,” without elaborating.

Just hours later, Kendrick doubled down and released Not Like Us, produced by DJ Mustard.

“Say, Drake, I hear you think they young / You better never go to cell block one,” he raps.
