Rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar's feud erupted on the radio this summer. It has now discovered a new venue: the legal system. In a legal filing on Monday, Drake claimed that Universal Music Group had colluded to use payola and bots to inflate Kendrick Lamar's summer hit song "Not Like Us" on Spotify. The two recorded a number of diss tunes this summer that were directed at one another.

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the New York Jets, stated on Tuesday that if he plays next season, he would love to stay with the team. Although the 40-year-old Rodgers did not promise to play again in 2025, he stated that the Jets would be his first option if he did.

Given his individual and the team's difficulties thus far this season, Rodgers' future in the NFL and with New York has come under scrutiny. In 2024, the three-time MVP has his lowest...
