Drake And 21 Savage Sued Over Fake ‘Vogue’ Cover—Here’s All The Drama ‘Her Loss’ Album Has Caused

While promoting Her Loss, Drake and 21 Savage released a fake interview with Howard Stern, a fake NPR “Tiny Desk Concert” and a fake Vogue cover and issue both in print and online.

On Monday, Condé Nast filed suit against Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Graham, his public relations firm Hiltzik Strategies LLC, and 21 Savage, whose real name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, for copyright infringement for up to $4 million in damages, claiming the promotion and distribution of a fake Vogue issue “damaged the goodwill and reputation” of the magazine, according to the suit, which was viewed by Forbes.

The suit cited an Instagram post from Drake on October 30 in which he thanked famed Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour and the publication “for the love and support on this historic moment,” which wasn’t authorized or supported by either entity, the suit said.

Drake drew ire from some when he rapped in the song “Circo Loco,” lyrics which said: “This bitch lie ‘bout getting shots but she still a stallion.”

The lyric seemingly referred to rapper Megan Thee Stallion’s claim she was shot in the foot by Tory Lanez in 2020; After the album was released, Stallion tweeted ”Stop using my shooting for clout…Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot.”

On the song “Middle Of The Ocean,” Drake said, “Serena, your husband a groupie,” seemingly referring to Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian; Ohanian responded on Twitter on Friday tweeting, “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.”
