The rapper, who settled with iHeartMedia, suspects that the major label made secret payments and offered reduced licensing rates to third parties to promote the song.

"In exchange for documents that showed iHeart did nothing wrong, Drake agreed to drop his petition. No payments were made — by either one of us," iHeart said.

Drake has removed iHeartMedia from his Texas lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG) over alleged "covert payments" to promote Kendrick Lamar's diss track, ‘Not Like Us.’ A recent court filing reveals that Drake and iHeart reached an "amicable resolution" without any financial settlement.
