Freddie Gibbs and his fans are accusing Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR of stealing his trademark rabbit for their album artwork.
Freddie’s ‘$oul $old $eparately’ album was the rapper’s fifth album and featured an image of a rapper.
The OVO artists’ new project is stylized as ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ and the bottom of the tracklist illustration featured three animated rabbits with dollar signs, flaming earbuds, and red hearts in their eyes.
Fans brought the similarities to Gibbs’ attention, and he commented, “Damn, they even stole the rabbits, too,” adding, “I’m flattered.”
Damn they even stole the rabbits too. I’m flattered.

A Canadian artist named John River also hopped online to accuse the pair of stealing from him.
“PartyNextDoor wanted to get on a call after my video went viral in the country. On this call that lasted around 2 hours, he told me he watched the video 20x & me in front of the Monroe Towers was labeled new innovative & iconic. ‘Why are you getting this attention instead of me is exactly what he said,”” River wrote in a post shared to his Instagram account.
He went on, “For over an hour he then told me (& tweeted then deleted) that I needed to always pay him homage. ‘You’re young & you don’t want to get black balled.’ The rest of the call he was fixated on every aspect & detail of my video, the towers & my vision for the city. Multiple people were present. I told him I respect his music but homage was strange.”
In the comments, fans accused OVO of knowingly stealing from upcoming artists.
