Kendrick Lamar stripped the cover artwork for his Drake diss, "Meet The Grahams," when he dropped the single on streaming services over the weekend, prompting fans to theorize why. The original photo features a glove, Ozempic, receipts, and more and was rumored to have been stolen from a suitcase that belonged to Dennis Graham. Many fans of the Toronto rapper suggested the reason for the change was because Lamar realized the prescription bottle, "shortee" shirt, and more aspects of it were fake. Others claimed he did so because Apple Music and Spotify don't allow stolen property to appear as cover art without permission.
One Drake fan wrote on Twitter: "Kendrick realized the items on the cover of meet the grahams was fake and dropped it on streaming services with an all black cover. Drake winning without dropping." When the post began circulating online, Twitter added a community note reading: "Per Apple Music and Spotify guidelines, you may not use someone else's private property as a cover photo without permission."
