The recent drama surrounding Billboard’s cover story on Verzuz is a reminder that writers often have little input in the images that accompanies their work. The article itself highlighted the significance of the Beenie Man and Bounty Killer battle, but the cover art left the two Jamaican icons out. The writer, a Black woman, received hateful tweets regarding the cover but, as she pointed out, writers don’t have input into cover art. Sometimes writers don’t even see the photos that will accompany their work until it publishes.
