Here’s everything you need to know about Griffith and his connections in the sports and entertainment industries.
Who is Chris Blake Griffith?
Griffith is a sports and culture marketing executive at W&L Entertainment Relations and Management and the firm’s president of entertainment marketing and sports relations. He has over 10 years of industry experience and advises artists and athletes in their respective fields, according to his LinkedIn account.
Before that, he held several positions at Under Armour and worked closely with rappers, actors, television and streaming brands, as well as athletes like Stephen Curry.
Griffith has also been mentioned in controversial situations, like the legal issue between Drake and his record label, Universal Music Group, earlier this year.
What did Griffith say about the Drake-UMG legal battle?
According to HipHopDX, Griffith shared an alleged Instagram DM in January of the Canadian native outlining his legal plans involving the music label.
“Me and Universal is like if Nike was funding a campaign about Lebron cheating on his wife… not adidas or Reebok… Nike the company he been with since he started…my situation is not no street s**t,” Drake reportedly wrote in the messages sent to Griffith.
He continued, “Everybody before me that tried the label was too eccentric so they wrote them off as crazy and they never had to pay for their sins and mistakes.
“I’m going to change that and make the building a safer place for every artist moving forward.”
What did Drake say about the alleged sexual assault incident?
During the conversation, Griffith opened up to Drizzy about the alleged sexual assault incident involving Diggs, with Drake writing, “You asking me to post a tape about you ratting on people g.”
From there, the accusations went viral online, with the “God’s Plan” rapper denying the messages via DJ Akademiks.
“This is a fake DM. Drake called buddy a Rat….. he got mad and made up some fake DM to try to make the blogs and go viral. end of story,” adding: “Source – THE BOY,” Akademiks wrote in an X post.
In November, Drake accused UMG of both promoting the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” amid their rap feud and allowing the Compton native to defame him in the song. The 38-year-old then threatened to sue the label over these issues.
