You’ve been standing behind the scenes as the biggest asshole you could possibly be… And he’s white, and he’s Jewish, and he’s got his hands on the chip so much me. You were behind the scenes beating n**** baby mothers, sending money to n**** baby mothers. Yo dawg, texting n****’s wife… Dawg, this is bullshit behind the scenes and because he has fans and Lucien everyone just turns a blind eye. The days of blindness are over,” Budden said on board.

Music group Universal responds to Drake
Universal Music Group didn’t let Drizzy slide so easily. The label has disputed his allegations, with a spokesperson denying his claims in the November 25 petition.
“The suggestion that UMG would do anything to sabotage any of their artists is insulting and untrue. We employ the highest ethical practices in our marketing and advertising campaigns. None of the spurious and absurd legal arguments in the filings preceding this action can hide the fact that fans chose the music they wanted to hear,” the spokesperson said in a statement.
UMG also said Diversity in a separate statement that fans, not record labels, should decide what music they want to hear. “None of the spurious and absurd legal arguments in the filing before this action can hide the fact that fans have chosen the music they want to hear.”
