Drake has amended his defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group – and the changes are reportedly linked to Kendrick Lamar’s LIX Super Bowl Halftime show.

In the documents, obtained by TMZ, Drake claims the show “assassinated” his character. He also reportedly says Lamar excluding the word from the song that accuses Drake of being a child predator from the lyrics backs up his claim that the song’s content is defamatory.

Drake claims Lamar would not have been given permission to perform the song unless it was omitted.  “That is because nearly everyone understands that it is defamatory to falsely brand someone a ‘certified PDF file,’” Drake said, according to the documents. 

TMZ says that in the documents Drake points out that the Super Bowl Halftime show in New Orleans was the most-watched of all time – and he says it introduced the song to scores of new people, causing them “to be duped into believing that Drake was a PDF file.”
