As recently reported, Drake is being sued by his former stylist. To make this story even more Hollywood, the court case is over a bunch of owl necklaces.
TMZ are now saying that Michael Raphael is suing the singer for close to $50,000 after the R&B musician supposedly ripped off the stylist’s jewellary company Baden Baden Inc.
Raphael claims that the platinum owl pendant he designed based on the singer’s OVO logo was counterfeited by Drake for his friends.
This amount he’s seeking is on top of the $76,490 Raphael is after for unpaid expenses and wages.
Drake’s new album, Nothing Was The Same is out 24 September.
