Prince Williams / WireImage via Getty ImagesThe publisher of Vogue magazine has sued rappers Drake and 21 Savage for promoting their new album using a fake Vogue cover and the magazine’s name without authorization, according to a lawsuit filed on Monday.
The suit also alleges that the artists created a counterfeit issue of Vogue magazine and distributed copies of it in several large cities, as well as to their 135 million combined social media followers. The suit also alleges that the rappers thanked the magazine’s editor in chief, Anna Wintour, for the “love and support on this historic moment” in social media posts.
The publisher said it has “repeatedly” tried to resolve the matter since Oct. 31, when copies of the fake magazine were distributed, and asked the rappers to “cease their infringing activities and take appropriate remedial measures to curtail further public confusion” to no avail.
