Does Walgreens and Macy’s Owe Drake Money for YOLO?

 width=Rap singer,Drake is not taking kindly to Walgreens and Macy’s selling clothing using his now famous motto,”YOLO,” which stands for “You Only Live Once.” Drake went to his Instagram to vent his frustrations with the two corporations. “you gotta either chill or cut the cheque,” the Canadian resident wrote underneath a photo of baseball caps emblazoned with “YOLO.” “Macy’s . . . same goes for you,” he wrote under another photo of a t-shirt that pictures Charlie Brown and Snoopy and the words “YOLO is my motto.” Does Drake have a point or is he overreacting? I remember a conversation I had once with Dres from Black Sheep and he said he wished he would have acquired the copyright or put a trademark on “You Can Get With This Or You Can Get With That, Because This is Where Its At.”
