Drake is officially gearing up to fight the dismissal of his defamation and harassment lawsuit against Universal Music Group over the promotion of Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us.”

The OVO rapper’s lawyers filed a notice of appeal on Wednesday (October 29) indicating their intention to oppose the court’s decision earlier this month.

His legal team’s arguments are expected to be made in a separate filing at a later date.

“This confirms our intent to appeal, and we look forward to the Court of Appeals reviewing that filing in the coming weeks,” representatives for Drake said in a statement to Variety.

UMG, which Drake had accused of illegally inflating the streams of “Not Like Us” in an attempt to damage his career, has not yet commented on the development.
