A lawsuit is planned against the Canadian label who uploaded the album and claimed they represented Drake.
In June 2009, it was revealed that an unauthorized album entitled The Girls Love Drake, that featured songs from his mixtapes and credited to be an official Drake release, was up for sale on iTunes. The music video for the song is directed by fellow rapper Kanye West.
