He’s not in a court docket of legislation suing Kendrick Lamar, which everyone appears to suppose this lawsuit is about. He sued UMG, the most important firm that has the most important bag, n*gga.

He added, “You suppose I ain’t gonna sue Amazon if I get an opportunity to? We suing everyone, n*gga. Any one in all them corporations I get an opportunity to play at that degree to sue for billions, I’m going for it, n*gga. Are you loopy?”
