The beef between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar exploded on the airwaves this summer. Now it's found a new arena: the law courts. Drake alleged in a court filing Monday that Universal Music Group and Spotify conspired to “artificially inflate” Lamar’s summer hit “Not Like Us” by using bots,

Drake alleges Universal Music Group and Spotify schemed to "artificially inflate the popularity" of Kendrick Lamar's diss track, "Not Like Us."

Drake’s feud with Universal Music Group just escalated to DEFCON 1. The Toronto rapper has filed his second lawsuit against the music giant, with his lawyer having previously dropped allegations that UMG engaged in a "pay-to-play" scheme with iHeartRadio to boost Kendrick Lamar’s "false song" "Not Like Us" on the airwaves.

In court documents obtained by The Post, Drake’s Frozen Moments LLC said that UMG — which distributes both rappers’ music — used “bots” to “artificially inflate” the song’s streams, which “deceived consumers” into thinking Lamar’s track was more popular than it was in reality.

The rapper's music company has accused Kendrik Lamar's label of artificially inflating the popularity of the song "Not Like Us' using bots and illegal payment schemes.

Drake filed a petition alleging Universal Music “launched a campaign to manipulate and saturate the streaming services … in order to make that song go viral.”

Drake has taken legal action against Universal Music Group (UMG) and Spotify, accusing them of conspiring to manipulate streaming platforms in favor of Kendrick Lamar’s music while suppressing his own.

Drake has escalated his dispute with fellow rap superstar Kendrick Lamar, filing a pair of court notices warning of legal action against major music companies for what Drake called manipulative promotion of Lamar's megahit "Not Like Us.

The petition alleges UMG used bots to drive up streams on "Not Like Us," paid radio promoters to increase air play and paid Apple to have Siri misdirect users to Kendrick Lamar's hit song.
