Drake accused of ripping off new album art from Freddie Gibbs
The day before the album's Friday release, the Candian duo teased the tracklist on social media. In the graphic, three cartoon bunny rabbits are pictured at the bottom left of the list of songs.
Both the dollar signs used in the album name and the bunny rabbits are popular symbols associated with fellow rapper and songwriter Freddie Gibbs, who has since claimed the two 'stole' his signature branding.
'Damn they even stole the rabbits too. I'm flattered,' tweeted Gibbs.
The '1985' rapper also reshared several other posts from fans, who have called out the similarities between Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR's artwork to Gibbs' 2022 album $ouls $old $eperately, which features a cartoon rabbit on the album cover.
'We know this bald n***a @FreddieGibbs did it first,' one person commented. 'Freddie Gibbs the art director over there?' a second quipped.
'Using the $$$ and rabbit from @FreddieGibbs is nasty work,' a third added.
'I forgot Freddie Gibbs be using the bunny with dollar signs a lot for his stuff. Yeah, Drake and PND just straight up copied that lmfao,' another declared.

The Independent has contacted Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR's representatives for comment.
Out now, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U includes a song titled 'Gimme a Hug,' on which Drake takes aim at his past rap feuds.
'F*** a rap beef, I'm tryna get the party lit / Tryna get the party lit for the b****es,' the 'God's Plan' artist raps in the second verse, seemingly in reference to his ongoing beef with Kendrick Lamar, who 'finished' him with his Sunday Super Bowl performance of hit diss track 'Not Like Us.'
At another point in the song, Drake appears to take direct shots at rapper and presenter Budden. 'Melyssa Ford, you a legend from The 6 hate to see you with a dick sucker,' he sings about Budden's podcast co-host.
Budden has not immediately responded to The Independent's request for comment.
Earlier this week, Drake trolled Budden from his incognito Instagram account, posting a video of Budden walking and smoking alongside the caption: '$$$HITTING MEEEEEE.'
Budden later responded on a recent episode of his self-titled Joe Budden podcast, saying: 'Hey, Drake, don't shoot at me mad that you ice cold. I'm not doing a back-and-forth with a corpse. I wanted to do it when it was fun.'

Ex-Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson drops 2-word message to fans after receiving SB ring
Shortly after winning Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles surprisingly unloaded starting safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson in a trade with the Houston Texans. The always candid CJGJ reacted as you might expect, stating this off-season that the Eagles are 'scared of a competitor' and would never win another championship without him. Gardner-Johnson recently apologized to his former teammates for those comments during a sit-down interview with ESPN's Ryan Clark. The organization was unfazed, as CJGJ was in attendance for the Eagles' Super Bowl ring ceremony on Friday night. CJGJ posted a photo of his ring with a celebratory two-word message — 'Hi haters 😮💨' — to fans on his social media. MORE: Gardner-Johnson has never been shy about using his social accounts or the media to speak his mind. He unleashed a pretty epic rant after Philly's Week 3 win over the Saints last season, calling his former team 'pretenders' and mocking their 2-0 start. He also mocked Travis Kelce, Taylor Swift and 'Swifties' after the Eagles' blowout win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, doubling down with a custom hoodie during Philly's championship parade. Some of those antics probably make people forget that Gardner-Johnson piled up six interceptions for the No. 1 ranked Eagles defense in 2024. The Eagles were clearly ready to move on after the Super Bowl, moving CJGJ under the guise of 'salary cap savings.' Still, it was a good look for everyone to have CJGJ in attendance on Friday night, and no one can take away his 2024 Super Bowl ring.

Interesting Details of Eagles' Super Bowl Ring Explained
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. On Friday night, the Philadelphia Eagles got to celebrate their Super Bowl victory once again. The 2024 roster gathered in Philly for a party, and each player received their unique-styled rings, designed by Jason of Beverly Hills. As always, the ring has plenty of important details that tell the story of the Eagles' entire 2024 season. Diamonds are a Bird's best friend — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 19, 2025 In the word "Champions," there are 40 points of diamonds to represent the Eagles' points scored in the Super Bowl matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. On the wings of the rings, there are 0.9 carats to represent the six sacks and three takeaways in the Super Bowl. As dominant as the two-way effort was, the Eagles' defense was absolutely critical as they shut down the MVP-caliber quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. In order to get to the Super Bowl, the Eagles had a dominant regular season, which helped them gain home-field advantage in the postseason for the first round, at least. The bracket ended up giving them a home game for each playoff matchup. Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles poses for photographs on the Green Carpet at The Battery on July 18, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles poses for photographs on the Green Carpet at The Battery on July 18, 2025 in Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaThe Eagles finished the regular season with a 14-3 record. After a 2-2 start, they fired off 10 wins in a row, which proved to the NFL they were the real deal. On the Super Bowl LIX logo, there are 10 points of diamonds to represent that streak. In total, the Eagles finished the year with 18 wins. Therefore, there are 18 green stones on the ring. On the inside of the ring, there is a Brazilian flag, which is where the season started. Although it was an Eagles home game, the team played one of the few international games this year. The Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers in Brazil to kick off their big year. Right under the flag is a motto, inspired by the head coach, Nick Sirianni. "Tough, Detailed, Together," it says. Under the motto is a list of scores throughout the Eagles' playoff run, which included games against the Packers, Los Angeles Rams, Washington Commanders, and the Chiefs. The No. 145 represents the Eagles' NFL record of most points scored in the postseason. Perhaps, the most popular part of the ring is the wings. With the hit of a button, they pop out. The five diamonds on the button are there to represent the five players who scored points in the Super Bowl (Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, Cooper DeJean, DeVonta Smith, and Jake Elliott). It's all in the details — Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 19, 2025 Lastly, the wings have a hidden message, which also comes from Sirianni: "You can't be great without the greatness of others." While Sirianni has dealt with a lot of criticism throughout his tenure with the Eagles, he has overcome all of that and shines as a motivator within the organization. Clearly, his messages have stuck with the team and will remain with them forever, as the Super Bowl ring sheds light on those mottos.

Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg scored comp tickets to 17 swanky galas last year, many by lefty groups
Soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was comped free tickets worth at least $9,400 combined to attend 17 swanky black tie-affairs and other galas last year — most of them put on by lefty groups doing business with the city, The Post has learned. Fourteen of the 17 freebies were dished out by nonprofits and other organizations with city contracts — and more than half ranged from $1,000 to nearly $5,000 in value, including some attended by music and sports industry celebs, according to a review of Bragg's yearly financial disclosure filings with the city's Conflicts of Interest Board. They included: The NYC Police Foundation's June 6 gala at the Intrepid Museum in Manhattan where tickets ran at least $2,500 each, and Giants Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms attended. A event also held June 6 for Brooklyn-based Center for Alternatives Sentencing and Employment Services, who provided Bragg tickets worth $50 to $999 in value. The three events Bragg attended that were not thrown by groups with city business included the April 10 'Keepers of the Dream' gala for Rev. Al Sharpton's civil rights group National Action Network, which holds plenty of clout with New York Democratic pols. The DA valued his ducats being worth anywhere from $1,000 to nearly $5,000. 4 Soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg attended 17 swanky galas and other predominately $1,000-plus-per plate black tie-affairs last year with mostly groups pushing anti-jail and other lefty causes picking up the hefty tab, The Post has learned. WireImage Bragg — a Democrat who's has been slammed by critics since taking over as DA in 2022 for villainizing victims while going easy on suspects — reported his ticket totals were worth in the range of $9,400 to nearly $53,000. 4 Many of Bragg's comped tickets blur the lines of potential conflicts of interest because as Manhattan's lead prosecutor he should avoid schmoozing with groups pushing a woke social justice agenda, critics said.

And Bragg 'should know better' than to 'accept complimentary gifts from businesses that do business with the city,' said Republican Maud Maron, a former Legal Aid Society attorney running against Bragg for Manhattan DA. 4 Bragg, fourth from left in the rear, poses with Gov. Hochul, actor Robert De Niro, Rev. Al Sharpton and other attendees at a National Action Network gala in 2023. Bragg did not report being comped to attend the event in his financial disclosure statements, but he did so for another NAN event in 2024. Alamy Stock Photo 'Of course he spends his free time rubbing shoulders with the moneyed elite whose luxury beliefs let them feel good about themselves while imposing steep costs on everyday New Yorkers who can't buy their way out of crime and grime,' she said. Bragg didn't list attending any events as free gifts in his previous financial disclosure statements for 2022 and 2023. 'Instead of focusing on making our streets safer, DA Bragg has focused on hobnobbing with special interests at glitzy events,' said Diana Florence, a veteran prosecutor running as an independent against him in November's general election. 'Since day one, he has pursued a social experiment that's made our city more hospitable for criminals and less safe for everyone else. Enough is enough.' Bragg spokesperson Danielle Filson said the DA 'fully disclosed his support and attended events for victims of domestic violence, NAN, the NYC Police Foundation … and other civic, charitable and community organizations whose work is relevant to the office – just like his predecessors and fellow DAs.' 'This is nothing but a pathetic attempt to smear Bragg's strong record of keeping Manhattan safe to score cheap political points,' she said of his critics.
