Drake and 21 Savage's fake Vogue cover
Vogue magazines parent company,
Conde Nast, has filed a trademark infringement
lawsuit against rappers Drake and 21 Savage over
their "Her Loss" album promotional materials. Drake
and 21 Savage used a mock up of a Vogue magazine
cover placed over a photo of themselves for an item
on social networking. They also made the false claim
they would appear in Vogue. It turns out that was a
lie.

Conde Nast's $4,000,000 federal lawsuit branded
the publicity stunt by the rappers, "A flagrant
infringement of the company's trademark." Drake and
21 Savage have yet to comment on the lawsuit. The
"Her Loss" album has been getting the rappers in
trouble, especially Drake.
Social networking has
been slamming Drake over comments he made on the
album about Megan Thee Stallion (stated she is lying
about getting shot) and Serena Williams (referring
to her husband Alexis Ohanian as a "groupie").

'Vogue' sues rappers Drake and 21 Savage over
fake magazine cover promoting new album
November 9, 20225:00 AM ET - Condé
Nast, the publisher of Vogue magazine, has filed a
lawsuit against rappers Drake and 21 Savage for
using a fake Vogue cover used to promote their new
album, Her Loss.
In a 30-page lawsuit filed on
Monday, Condé Nast argues that the "widespread
promotional campaign" launched by the rappers for
their latest album is "built entirely" on the use of
Vogue's trademarks — giving the false premise that
the two artists would be featured in an issue of the
magazine.
Condé Nast is seeking at least $4
million in damages or triple the rappers' profits
from their album and its "counterfeit" magazine —
whichever is higher...
