Drake fans were treated to two new singles, “God’s Plan” and “Diplomatic Immunity,” packed together as Scary Hours this past weekend. But everyone wasn’t happy about the EP’s arrival, including Texas-based electronic music producer Eric Burton — better known as Rabit. According to him, the EP’s cover art was stolen.
“Today I wake up to see OVO has redone one of my 2015 tour posters designed by @collindfletcher for Drake’s new single,” Rabit wrote on Instagram. “Poor Collin is always having his style stolen. lol BUT I love being part of a team that’s so creative and iconic.”
Rabit hoped the alleged theft would raise awareness about the prevalence of such acts in the music industry.
“This is a story that too many artists, musicians, and designers identify with,” Fletcher noted in a statement to Pitchfork. “Hopefully this results in a larger conversation about popular culture’s relationship to underground artists.”
Although whoever designed the Scary Hours artwork for Drake is ultimately responsible, this isn’t the first time Drizzy has been accused of stealing art. From flows to larger artistic concepts, the OVO leader has dealt with his share of criticism and accusations. An example is back in 2015 when he allegedly used an artist’s piece on his Instagram without providing any credit.
Drake is known for using ghostwriters and stealing verses. On top of my head in know for a fact he stole verses from Too Short and Rappin 4 Tay
Now he’s stealing cover art smh
Lame azz Jevv boy
Drake always stealing other peoples work.
Imma steal his dild0 to get him back hehe
Drake would never do anything wrong he is the best rapper of all time
Yo asshole, come up with your own name. Your just as bad as drake.
LAME JEVV COCC SUCCKING CABALAH FUCC BOY
Drake worships in the synagogue of satan alright
Blame the cover artists for being blatantly lazy. This reminds me of the story where some local dude custom designed a jacket he made, to give it a punk look. It ends up going missing at some industry event and months later the same jacket is being sold by somebody who had attended said events. People are always looking to non famous artists and designers and quietly jacking their ideas without thinking of the consequences of being discovered. Survival of the fittest for real.
Drake been stealing everyone’s shit for years, flows…bars….styles…verses….songs…now he’s stealing petty shit like cover art and pics for his ig. IDK who to blame for the thefts, drake’s black half or the je//ish side.
when you combine both they turn into super sayian like powers and you become a rich star by way of others
Narcotics is a pyramid scheme why should hip hop be any different?
When did Drake start designing Cover Arts? Lol people will say anything for a lil attention.
Da little midget kendrick stole Lupe’s cover art a few months ago, nobody cares long as the music is great.
Writing 2 words vertically is a work of creative genius that only one legendary artist could possibly have thought of.
Stop trying to sound edgy bro.. your a douchebag. It’s obvious someone copied his shit. Whether it was simple art or not. That thieving shit is as lame as you.
lol.
of course he did, it’s what Fake Drake does, it’s who he is..he’s a thief. Fake Drake has been stealing and jacking other artists lyrics, beats, flows, styles throughout his career. that is why diddy bitch slapped the shit outta him and put him in the hospital for jacking the 0-100 beat. it’s unbelievable how this bitch ass thief has continually gotten a pass for blatantly stealing from other artists..more artists need to stomp this worm into the ground like diddy did.
I work with a guy who rips off other artists.. He thinks nothing of it
Lol.. well no shit.. if he thought something about it he wouldn’t be ripping artist off like the piece of shit he is.
In other news, Drake straight trash.
No matter how much money Drake makes and no matter how many shiksas (gentile women) he fucks he will always be nothing more than a piece of shit jevv and he knows it too.
Nothing to see here, dude just tagged Drake to get his 15mins.
He thinks he’s the first person to put typed vertical letters next to graffiti letters? ………………………………….in 2015? Get more creative idiot
Blatant ripoff from drake 🙁 again
