On Friday (Dec. 20), attorneys for Spotify filed a response to Drake's pre-action petition. In the filing, the legal team calls Drake's claims false.

"The predicate of Petitioner’s entire request for discovery from Spotify is false: there is no such agreement. In any event, however, the Petition is legally deficient and should be denied," the lawyers wrote.

"Petitioner offers only information-and-belief speculation rather than well-pled facts," the filing continues. "And the Petition does not demonstrate how those speculative allegations make out the elements of the civil RICO, deceptive business practices, and false advertising claims Petitioner seeks to assert."
