For those who may not know, Conde Nast is the media company that owns the iconic magazine, Vogue. The company has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Drake and 21 Savage for using the Vogue name without permission.
“All of this is false. And none of it has been authorised by Conde Nast,” said a complaint filed on Monday night in a Manhattan federal court. In the lawsuit, Conde Nast claimed that Drake & 21 Savage use of the Vogue trademark was deliberately deceptive and infringed on their rights as owners of the copyright. It is claimed that Conde Nast is seeking at least $4m (£3.5m) in damages, or triple the defendants’ profits from their album and “counterfeit” magazine. Larry Stein, a lawyer for the defendants, declined to make any comment on the lawsuit as he is waiting to make a full review of the lawsuit.
