The Toronto Star reports that superstar rapper Drake and his signature owl have ruffled the feathers of the city’s legal eagles. Drake, one of Toronto’s most famous and proud cultural ambassadors, failed to ask permission to use a modified version of the official city logo on a Gardiner Expressway billboard promoting his smash-hit new album, a city spokesperson says.The billboard, located at Dufferin St. and Springhurst Ave., features the word “Toronto” in the distinctive style of the logo.
And in the spot on the logo where the image of City Hall is located, to the left of the “Toronto,” the billboard substitutes the owl emblem of Drake’s personal brand, October’s Very Own.The album’s name, Take Care, and release date, Nov. 15, are below. The very bottom of the billboard, however, reads “Population 2,753,609” in the style of an official welcome-to-town sign.
Wassup city lawyers? The rapper said "All I care is about my money and the city I'm from." Lets just leave it there, should we?
