Vogue magazine publisher Condé Nast is suing rappers Drake and 21 Savage over a fake cover they created to promote the release of their joint album.
The rap duo’s album, titled « Her Loss, » was released Friday, but the project was preceded by an announcement Oct. 22 and then a faux press tour rollout that included a fake Saturday Night Live performance, a staged NPR Tiny Desk concert, and a fake Vogue magazine cover.
On Monday, Condé Nast filed a 30-page lawsuit against the artists arguing their publicity campaign was « built entirely on the use of Vogue » trademarks.
According to NPR, the publisher is seeking at least $4 million from the accused or triple the profits from their album — whichever is higher.
If Condé Nast wins the suit, the duo could pay well over $4 million for their phony cover. Drake’s 2021 album, Certified Lover Boy, raked in an estimated $6 million from Apple Music streams alone, Parade reported.
