Drake's 'Her Loss' Faces A Number Of Controversies In The Early Weeks Of Its Release

Drake and 21 Savage's collaborative album was met with criticism shortly after its release on November 4th.

Megan Thee Stallion has memorably voiced her distaste over being the subject of "Circo Loco."

The track seems to allege the "Savage" singer had lied about the circumstances related to the 2020 shooting wherein she was shot in both feet. Rapper Tory Lanez, who is also reportedly tight with Drake, has been widely speculated to be behind the shooting; In early 2021, we reported Lanez had been denied the right to speak publicly about the ongoing case.

Megan Thee Stallion would take to Twitter to denounce Drake's claims and for "associating her name with bogus conspiracy theories and chasing clout," according to The Blast's report over the incident.

Drake and 21 Savage were recently sued by Condé Nast. The company alleges the duo's promotional campaign behind "Her Loss" infringes on Vogue Magazine's (which is published by the company) trademark.

According to our report on the matter, Vogue is seeking four million dollars in damages.

Although Swift no longer occupies the entirety of Billboard's Top 10 Hot 100 slots, her first single from "Midnights," "Anti-Hero," currently sits at number one.

Although Drake and 21 Savage currently hold several spots on the chart, the "Hotline Bling" singer is reportedly in pursuit of the chart's top spot!

He took to his Instagram stories to share a screenshot of the current songs on the charts, and, according to the Daily Mail, the rapper decided to block out any visible mention of Swift's current coveted occupation by covering up the top slot with emojis.

Drake used a cloud, a person meditating, and a crying-laughing emoji to cover the "artist" portion of the shot.

Could Drake be deliberately targeting Swift with his screenshot? Some Twitter fans are discussing whether there is any hidden meaning behind his move.

One user tweeted, "Drake messing with the one person who has never lost a fight is sending me like Taylor is not the one she will get you in silence."

Another wrote, "I am absolutely not a Taylor Swift fan but can we address how corny it is Drake went out of his way to block her name and song above his on the Billboard list [?]"

A Swiftie expressed their distaste over Drake's actions by tweeting, "I think we have a new enemy as a fandom"

As of this writing, Drake has not publicly addressed the matter.
