Kendall Jenner Instagrammed a picture of a woman naked on a horse. The horse is also naked as far as we can tell.

The picture was a shot of a French model named Elisa Meliani, who Instagrammed the photo a year ago, and posted on Jenner's account without attribution. And, because it looked exactly as you might imagine a photo of Kendall Jenner naked on a horse would, people assumed it was, in fact, Kendall.

Maybe Jenner, Olympian blood pulsing through her body, was prepping to participate in equestrian events in the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. Maybe this Instagram is actually a statement of intent.

Waouuu ! Me and my horse on Kendall IG ❤️ @kendalljenner #blessed A photo posted by Elisa Meliani (@elisajazz) on Nov 28, 2015 at 11:30am PST

Meliani was flattered by Jenner's catfishing, so all's well in this particular incident of a celebrity using someone else's work uncredited.

Considering the Instagram has over a million likes, one thing is certain: Kendall Jenner naked on horses is a niche the people demand. Kendall, get on a horse.

Drake got in trouble for the offense when he Instagrammed an artist Dave Veleza's interpretation of a "Hotline Bling" remix featuring Adele without any attribution, even cropping out the artist's signature at the bottom of the image.

Drake got over 430,00 likes on the stolen image. And while he is multi-talented, no one thought he actually drew the picture himself.

Drizzy should make it up to the world by publicly apologizing for theft and then actually delivering that "Hotline Bling" remix with Adele.

Update, November 29, 3:20 p.m. ET: A previous version of this story identified Jenner as the woman on the horse, when it is actually Meliani.
