Drake and Kendrick Lamar's music label UMG is NOT interfering in their ongoing ... trends now

Drake and Kendrick Lamar's ongoing heated feud is not being mediated by their shared music label Universal Music Group.

Recent rumors suggested that UMG wanted the Canadian hip hop star, 37, and the Pulitzer Prize winning rapper, 36, to cease their conflict, which has been dubbed the 'Rap Civil War.' 

But TMZ reports that the label has no plans to get involved and 'doesn't think it's their place to step in.'

The rumors first started circulating when a blind item claimed to have information regarding an alleged meeting between Kendrick, Drake and Universal Music Group, which both stars are technically signed to via distribution subsidiaries.

Among bullet points listed in the blind item was the suggestion that UMG bosses tried to force Kendrick to apologize to Drake. 

It was also claimed that UMG wanted the Compton born hitmaker to issue a statement taking back his latest diss, which accused the Degrassi star of being a 'pedophile.'

The blind item alleged that UMG honchos believed the conflict was bad for business where Drake was concerned, and could cost them money.

However, sources told TMZ there is no truth to the speculation, and that Universal 'would never jump into something like this.'

They added the label never even considered doing so.

In fact, the recent back-and-forth music drops and diss tracks have created a lot of streams and plays, which would be financially beneficial and not detrimental to the label.

It's unclear if the conflict between the two hip hop giants will continue, after Drake released what many are calling a surrender song on Sunday, titled 'The Heart Part 6' on which he rapped at one point, 'I don't wanna diss you anymore.'

The Grammy Award winner fired back at Kendrick for calling him a 'certified pedophile', rapping, 'I've never been with no one underage' and adding, 'Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I'm too respected / If I was f*****g young girls, I promise I'd have been arrested / I'm way too famous for this s**t you just suggested.' 

However that happened before a shooting took place at Drake's house on Tuesday.

Drake's security guard is fighting for his life after being gunned down outside the rapper's $100 million Toronto mansion in a drive-by shooting, reports say.
