The company’s CEO, Lucian Grainge, called Drake’s claim “farcical” and “groundless and indeed ridiculous” in a letter filed in New York federal court Thursday, according to Forbes. Grainge said that he never heard “Not Like Us” or saw its music video until they were released.

In a declaration letter filed Thursday night in the Southern District of New York, Grainge said Drake's accusation that UMG (parent label firm to both Drake and Lamar) defamed him “makes no sense.”
