Here's Why Drake Dropped His Lawsuit Against iheartMedia

Last week, Drake dropped his legal action against iHeartMedia.

He dropped the radio giant from his legal petition in Texas after reaching an "amicable resolution" that satisfied both sides.

Drake is still suing his label, Universal, for defaming him by artificially promoting the Kendrick Lamar track "Not Like Us," which suggested Drake is a pedophile, through payola and bots.

Now Rolling Stone is reporting that iHeartMedia admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement.

“In exchange for documents that showed iHeart did nothing wrong, Drake agreed to drop his petition. No payments were made – by either one of us,” a source at iHeartMedia tells Rolling Stone https://t.co/vUt2w8dJWa

"In exchange for documents that showed iHeart did nothing wrong, Drake agreed to drop his petition. No payments were made – by either one of us," said a source.

Update:  The Rolling Stone report may be based on something a certain radio personality said.

Nancy Dillon like many other journalists are choosing to push FALSE NARRATIVES regarding iHeartMedia and Drake’s settlement which was satisfactory to BOTH SIDES.
