Artist-Led Defamation Lawsuits
Artist-led defamation lawsuits in the music industry involve legal actions initiated by or against artists concerning statements that allegedly harm their reputation or the reputation of others. These cases often arise from lyrics, public statements, or social media posts, as seen in the high-profile Kesha and Dr. Luke case¹ and the recent dispute between Drake and Kendrick Lamar². Such lawsuits highlight the complexities of free speech, artistic expression, and reputational harm within the entertainment sphere.
