The distributor behind Drake’s controversial concert film Drake’s Homecoming: The Lost Footage is suing the rapper for libel and other charges for comments made about the film.
SpectiCast filed the suit in California on Wednesday, alleging libel, intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and interference with performance of contract.
The suit comes one day before the film, recorded at Toronto Sound Academy in 2009, appears in 350 theaters nationwide Thursday alongside international screenings.
The suit alleges that the rapper signed a contract to allow the film to be shown and that he would receive 15 percent of the profits.
Earlier this week, the rapper publicly disavowed the film on Twitter while denying involvement in its creation which SpectiCast believes constitutes libel.
