The Bot Scandal in Drake’s UMG Lawsuit Over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ Reaches Critical Turning Point

Drake's attorneys have finally served an elusive key witness who is accused of using botting tactics to fraudulently inflate numbers on Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us."

After previously getting permission from a judge to serve Kojo Menne Asamoah by alternate means, Drizzy's legal team served Asamoah by certified mail at five addresses on Aug. 7, according to court documents obtained by XXL on Monday (Aug. 11). As part of the subpoena, Asamoah will be required to "produce documents, information, or objects or to permit inspection of premises" in connection with alleged botting tactics used to help push "Not Like Us," the track at the center of Drake's defamation lawsuit against UMG.

Drake believes Asamoah was involved in "directing payments and/or financial incentives from UMG to third parties involved in online botting for the purpose of artificially inflating the streaming numbers of ['Not Like Us']," according to court documents. According to the X page ovodocket, Asamoah is or was the Senior Director of Digital Marketing for Interscope Records, but this has not been confirmed.
