Drake, the Canadian rapper, has lost a defamation lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar. The judge dismissed Drake's case over Lamar's song "Not Like Us". Meanwhile, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the Drake Passage, triggering a tsunami alert. In a separate incident, a 5.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Drake Passage, with no immediate reports of damage.

Drake's defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar's track 'Not Like Us' has been dismissed by a U.S. judge.

Drake has expressed his intention to appeal the decision.
