satellites.™ Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) https://www.tmz.com/2022/11/08/drake-21-savage-sued-vogue-fake-magazine-cover-promotion-anna-wintour-her-loss/ UPDATE 8:34 AM PT -- A source close to Drake tells us his team is both surprised and confused by the lawsuit as so many other organizations -- including Howard Stern and NPR's Tiny Desk series -- all gladly jumped on board and had fun with it. We reached out to Drake's attorney, Larry Stein, who did not have a comment. Drake and 21 Savage's hot new album, "Her Loss" is gonna be their loss in court ... if Vogue gets its way -- the magazine's suing over fake covers the rappers used to hype their record. According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Drake and 21 have been promoting "Her Loss" by posing on what certainly looks like a legit Vogue cover, leading fans to believe the company would drop the special edition soon -- some media outlets even reported on the issue. Condé Nast, which owns Vogue, says that isn't the case ... despite Drake giving the brand and editor-in-chief Anna Wintour a shout-out online for getting a blessing. Condé Nast claims Vogue and Anna "have not endorsed ["Her Loss"] in any way" ... and have asked multiple times for all promos using the Vogue name to be taken down, but nothing's been done. The docs say the rappers falsely promoted the Vogue collab on social media, and put up posters of the "cover" in major cities. Condé Nast also claims Drake and 21's teams sent out an email blast about "celebrating Drake's Vogue cover" ... saying street teams across the country would even be handing out copies. People on the streets allegedly got their hands on the false mags, according to the docs ... and many claim it's a direct replica of Vogue -- even including a fake pic of Anna posing with Drake. Wow!!! Can't say they didn't go all out. Getty Condé Nast wants a judge to shut down the use of the Vogue mark immediately ... and it wants at least $4M in damages. We've reached out to Drake and 21 Savage for comment ... so far, no word back. Originally Published -- 7:10 AM PT I told yall. Edited November 8, 2022 by satellites.™
satellites.™ Posted November 8, 2022 Author Posted November 8, 2022 And let me explain why I knew this would happen. Drake did NOT once mention that the cover was fake to his fans when he posted it. Leading them to believe he covered VOGUE and even thanking Anna for the cover. He knew that would lead to his fans thinking he was landing huge promo without him having to actually do the work, attend the photoshoot, meet the designers, photographers, etc. This is what nasty men like him do, he tried this same slick **** with the Grammys, NPR, and other people.

Totami Legend Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Those magazines are struggling to sell on paper so the internet is their biggest target nowadays. Of course they are mad.

Why would his team just assume Vogue would be fine with this. It's a trademarked brand, at least ask their permission first
Shy Boy Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Drake must really think he's too big to fail because
KatyPrismSpirit Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 aka Vogue is desperately hungry and going broke because nobody reads magazines in 2022 . Also where tf was this energy for the countless parodies of 73 questions videos etc?
vuelve88 Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 Really weird business decision by Drake. I'm not sure why his team thought he could just use Vogue's name for free, and without their official permission, while trying to pass it off as real Vogue magazine cover.

KatyPrismSpirit Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) 2 minutes ago, InventedGays said: It fully isn't lol 73 questions is just a specific style of interview. A lawsuit for that would be like someone being sued because they made a movie in the same genre as someone else just because they're both horror movies. Drake took a Trademark image and used that to promote his own work/content and profit off of it Still so many people do this on a daily basis. Suing Drake over this when it was already revealed on day 1 that its a stunt just comes across as hungry. Anna Wintour is just pissed that Drake passes on attending the MET gala every year And 73 questions interviews is a concept they created and own. They couldve made a case against people infringing their idea but they obviously never do it because it would make them look... pathetic and money hungry Edited November 8, 2022 by KatyPrismSpirit

They can monetize their video and earn money from it Drake never even sold the fake Vogue magazines he only posted them online btw this is just hungry for money like i said its just silly suing someone for this
Meev Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 To be fair, Vogue is a women’s magazine. How Drake and 21S are wanting to use fake vogue covers to promote a misogynistic album and assuming that they will get away with it is beyond me.
Ivan_brit Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 LOL!!! They also kind of did a Fake SNL perfomance this weekend Sue them!
Kylizzle Posted November 8, 2022 Posted November 8, 2022 The fact that he didn't get permission is insane nnn
