Drake and 21 Savage didn’t forget that Anna Wintour and Vogue sued them for their Her Loss promotion.
In case you need a reminder, during Drake and 21 Savage’s rollout for their 2022 album Her Loss, the two decided to print out fake Vogue magazines with themselves on the cover and throughout the entire book. They even decided to sell the magazine, with many people even believing that the two graced the cover of Vogue. While the two’s fans warmly received this marketing strategy, people at Vogue thought otherwise and decided to sue the duo.
Vogue had initially asked Drake and 21 to pay $4 million to use the fake cover. In a recent update, the duo and the highly coveted magazine company have settled the lawsuit.
According to TMZ, the lawyers for Drake and 21 met with Vogue’s parent company Condé Nast and were able to settle out of court for an undisclosed amount. As a part of the settlement, the parent company also received an injunction to prevent the commercial use of Vogue’s trademarks.
The parent company’s attorney said that the payment from Drake and 21 will “bolster our ongoing creative output, including Vogue editorial.”
Months later, Drake decided to get a little payback, creating a rather horrifying hologram of Anna Wintour that was displayed on tour.

Drake was in Montreal over the weekend and could not be joined by 21 Savage for the stop on the It’s All A Blur Tour. So who stepped in? His Dreamville friend J. Cole. Cole entered through the crowd, taking the stage with The Boy.

Drake and 21 Savage’s joint It’s All A Blur Tour has several questionable visual aid choices. Some of these are holograms. One of the most discussed images included a swimming giant sperm and a young Drake lookalike that Drake himself interacts with during the show. Attendees of the latest tour stop just spotted one creepy new addition to the collection: an Anna Wintour -inspired hologram.
Fans took to TikTok to share clips of the onscreen projection, jokingly calling out the entertainers for being petty about their feud with American Vogue‘s editor-in-chief. Although neither of the musicians has outrightly said that the hologram is pulled from Wintour’s likeness, the precise bob cut and bang combo, along with the conspicuous black designer sunglasses, leave little room for guessing.
@mookthahustla I think i was the only one who know who that was

The pair’s supposed legal settlement with Vogue‘s publisher Condé Nast furthers attendees’ speculation. The company initially sued Drake and 21 Savage for trademark infringement after the duo’s marketing teams released a fake Vogue cover to promote their album, Her Loss, in late 2022. Although Vogue wasn’t the only media company’s branding to be included in the project’s rollout, it appears Condé Nast was the only one to take legal action.
Meanwhile, NPR Music was flattered by the pair using their Tiny Desk Concert series set-up for a phony promotional video. The social media team for the series even invited Drake and 21 Savage actually to film an episode.
let’s do it forreal tho

21 Savage and Drake are currently stunning North America on their “It’s All A Blur” tour, which just kicked off in Chicago. Of course, everyone with a ticket is incredibly excited to see these two stars live, and that translated into some wholesome entrance antics. Moreover, as the Atlanta trap artist made his way to the stage, walking through fans in the crowd, one diehard in particular shot her shot. When the camera moved past 21, a girl ran to him for a hug, and the rapper smiled in response, even moving his arm a little bit as if to reach out and return the favor. But that moment lasted for half a second, as his security guard gently pushed her away.
Many might see this as odd, but it was actually kind of a wholesome and harmless interaction, at least in execution. We don’t know how much 21 Savage appreciates interactions like those, but based on his reaction, he’s always down to receive some love and give it back, as well. With a setlist as stacked as this tour’s, it’s no wonder that so many fans scream every lyric and are ecstatic to witness it in person. 21 played classics like “Red Opps,” new hits like his feature on “Peaches & Eggplants,” and all-time bangers like “Don’t Come Out The House” in addition to a few songs with Drake.

Speaking of his Drizzy collabs, apparently 21 Savage isn’t that big of a fan of memes surrounding “Rich Flex.” For those who forgot, the Her Loss cut lit the Internet up with Drake’s lines about asking 21 to do something for him. While on tour, as the Canadian superstar sings that hook, the “Umbrella” MC shakes his head and laughs in disbelief. If he’s tired of it, he’s got bad news ahead of him, or rather, over 50 more shows to go.
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old creative also takes a lot of time away from his superstardom to be with his community. For example, he hosted a children’s basketball camp in Atlanta for Father’s Day weekend, teaching them to play. His Leading By Example Foundation brought the event to life with other professional hoopers. For more news and the latest updates on 21 Savage, log back into HNHH.

“Rich Flex,” the opening track to Drake and 21 Savage’s collaboration album Her Loss, has been getting plenty of internet traction. The lyrics for the song start with Drake singing, “21, can you do somethin’ for me? Can you hit a lil’ rich flex for me?” To which the meme agents are posting videos of fake Drakes getting a little more sensual than what the song intends. The internet is undefeated, making 21 Savage severely uncomfortable about how the fans are taking the song lyrics.
In a video posted on Instagram, 21 is in the middle of a set list on stage when Drake embraces the meme. He overstates the opening lines of the track, giving him “that come on babe look,” according to one Insta commenter. In response, 21 gives a look of shock that will forever be undefeated, much like the internet. 21 shakes off the trauma and gets into rapping with Drizzy once again, but we know the rapper might be scarred for life for what the fans have done to “Rich Flex.”

Drake and 21 Savage are on tour right now, so they are at the mercy of the massive crowds. And when something is in the mainstream media, Drake is always one to capitalize on good publicity. No doubt Drizzy will continue to make the same “21, can you do something for me” joke until the wheels fall off. And 21 will have to grin and bear it. Thankfully, being part of the cultural conversation is always a good thing. So even if it is something completely unintended, it’s well worth the cringe.
In other 21 Savage news, he recently hopped on a remix of Burna Boy’s “Sittin’ On Top Of The World.” He also hosted a kid’s basketball camp in Atlanta, GA, giving back to the community. On top of being the number one meme in the world, he’s touring with the most prolific rapper in history. Life is good when you’re music famous (on top of being internet famous).

Drake paid tribute to the late fashion designer Virgil Abloh during his “It’s All A Blur” Tour, presenting a giant statue of Abloh on stage. The gesture was a fitting homage to Abloh, who hailed from Rockford, Illinois. Currently on his “It’s All A Blur” Tour, Drake commenced his first expedition in five years in […]

Drake and 21 Savage’s It’s All A Blur Tour kicked off last night in Chicago, bringing all of the shenanigans and fascinating imagery we’ve come to expect from the Canadian superstar. In addition to teasing his next album, ostensibly titled For All The Dogs, and showing off a statue of the late Virgil Abloh, Drake’s stage dressing included a body double representing his younger self. The pair sits on a couch as Drake “reads” from a notebook while performing his loving ode to his mom, “Look What You’ve Done.” Some are assuming it’s a hologram, but the jury’s still out.
Check out some videos of the Drake double below, along with the remaining tour dates. You can see the setlist here.

Drake and 21 Savage’s highly anticipated “It’s All A Blur” tour kicked off last night. The first show of the massive run took place in Chicago after the original opening shows were delayed. Fans in attendance were treated to a massive setlist of hit song after hit song from both artists. Drake also upped his stage design game in the wake of massive tours from artists like Taylor Swift and Beyonce. But even then he still wasn’t immune to experiencing the hottest concert drama of 2023. As has become increasingly common, someone threw their phone on-stage while Drake was performing.
While many artists likely would have taken things personally, Drake was the consummate professional. Even as a phone hits him in the arm and bounces off stage he doesn’t miss a note. In the video of the incident circulating around social media fans can be heard discussing what just happened. But the video is as obvious as it gets. While you can’t see who threw the phone or where exactly it comes from, the video gets the perfect angle to see it hit the rapper mid-song.
The cell phone-throwing drama is fresh in a lot of people’s minds because of one incident in particular. Last month pop singer Bebe Rexha collapsed on stage after being hit in the face with a phone. She ultimately needed stitches and the photos she shared of the aftermath went viral.
The phone-throwing was a minor hiccup in what ended up being a successful start to Drake and 21 Savage’s tour. During the show, Drake once again teased his new album For All The Dogs which is expected to drop this summer. He also erected a massive statue of Virgil Abloh. He paid tribute to the Off-White and Louis Vuitton designer who passed away in 2021. It was one of many elements of stage design and visuals that caught fans’ attention during the show. What do you think of a fan throwing their phone at Drake on stage? Let us know in the comment section below.

One thing about 21 Savage, he loves R&B music. Known for singing classic ballads on Instagram, 21 Savage carried the same energy into Chicago’s United Center for the opening night of his It’s All A Blur tour with Drake.
Entering through the crowd, 21 arrived to the sounds of Fantasia’s “When I See U.”
