The rappers released a fake Vogue cover and magazine to promote ‘Her Loss.’

They were sued by the magazine’s parent company for $4 million.

They eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.

[{"selector":"#anim-5d015043-0741-4f8c-9879-ee5566782dc5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a92e9fdd-4556-4a3d-a258-8176f3f50117","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e0c409b4-10fe-4ff4-a550-7979f0118c02","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

An internal memo stated that the money would help with the company’s ongoing projects.

The lawsuit was served a few days after the rappers released the joint album last year.

[{"selector":"#anim-c1f8d698-d368-4360-abe8-85b9bc9fefc8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e08fa2f0-6750-4e35-b8ec-4f91a5f397fc","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3bd9fe7d-e24f-4461-875c-93642157e388","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

They had been served a cease and desist letter before the lawsuit was filed.

[{"selector":"#anim-ac1610e8-33a8-488a-a5c7-d8ed6992243e","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac447d74-f8f4-4d5b-b8b6-6e59855aea00","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0f7bb895-7315-4ca2-a0c5-ea12d9d8147c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The company also asked Drake and 21 to put out a statement clarifying their magazine version.

[{"selector":"#anim-6e7c7399-71e7-47ab-b921-fe3677b305b6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dfae5e30-fdba-4dde-884f-f02e8e1ee548","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-540eb1d7-ba8c-4aef-a5b7-fee1c14d88cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The album contained one hit song that birthed memes and jokes on social media.

[{"selector":"#anim-2ca05ea2-0156-4bd3-a5a3-f5c2a605b4f7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a610f51-67b4-4831-913a-e34a3269a8f7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f0358378-810a-4b41-98de-4b906a2eda16","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This would be the first collaborative album from the duo.
