accused of stealing artwork for new single

1 Drake has been accused of stealing the artwork for the two new tracks that dropped last week. The rapper released ‘God’s Plan’ and ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ last week, with both songs featuring on his new ‘Scary Hours’ 5 project. But he’s now been accused of stealing the ‘Scary Hours’ artwork after rapper Rabit noticed an apparently similarity to his 2015 tour poster. Posting on Instagram, Rabit showed his 2015 Communion Tour 10 poster alongside Drake’s new offering – with both featuring thick text that is overlaid with thinner lettering. “Today I wake up to see OVO has redone one of my 2015 tour posters designed by @collindfletcher for Drake’s new single”, he wrote on Instagram. 15 “Poor Collin is always having his style stolen. Lol BUT I love being part of a team that’s so creative and iconic.” Fletcher has also responded and said that many designers “identify” with having their work taken. 20 “This is a story that too many artists, musicians, and designers identify with,” Fletcher said in a statement. “Hopefully this results in a larger conversation about popular culture’s relationship to underground artist.” Drake is yet to respond to the claims, but a source close to the 25 singer claims that OVO didn’t source this artwork and were presented it – chosen from a selection of older art.
