South Park Duo Take Responsibility for Kendrick Lamar Film Delays

Trey Parker and Matt Stone apologized for the delays surrounding Whitney Springs, their Kendrick Lamar–produced musical film announced in 2022. The project, written by Vernon Chatman and featuring new and unreleased Kendrick Lamar music, was originally slated to premiere in 2025 and go into production in 2024, but scheduling has shifted due to personal and industry factors, including the Paramount–Skydance merger. The film was removed from the schedule last November, and Parker and Stone said they take responsibility and remain committed, apologizing to partners at pgLang and Paramount.

UMG Defends Lyrics Context in Drake Case, Calls Appeal Hypocritical

UMG has filed an 83-page brief in the Second Circuit arguing Drake’s bid to revive his defamation suit over Kendrick Lamar’s 'Not Like Us' is illogical and hypocritical, insisting Lamar’s lyrics were nonactionable opinion and that Drake seeks a harsher standard for lyric-based statements; Drake originally sued UMG in Jan 2025, claiming the label promoted the track to spread a false claim that he is a pedophile, but a district court ruled the lyrics were hyperbolic and not factual. The case tests how defamation law applies to rap lyrics and whether context can shield artists from liability.
