A copyright lawsuit that briefly put Drake and an Italian photographer on a collision course is now over, and decisively so.
Gabriele Galimberti, a National Geographic photographer, has dropped his copyright infringement suit against the rapper over visuals used in the music video for “What Did I Miss?”, according to recent court filings reviewed by Billboard.
Both the photograph and the video scene feature men posed around swimming pools, with firearms arranged in deliberate, symmetrical patterns.
The lawsuit named Drake, whose legal name is Aubrey Drake Graham, as well as Universal Music Group and Republic Records.
Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” famously labeled Drake a “certified pedophile,” prompting Drake to file a defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group.
