The Pet Shop Boys say that Drake did not seek permission to use lyrics from one of their hits in a track. “Surprising to hear @Drake singing the chorus of “West End girls” in the track “All the Parties” on his new album. No credit given or permission requested,” the ‘80s duo tweeted. Drake did not respond to a request for comment from Variety, which notes that he was recently accused of using vocals from a singer named Rye Rye without credit.
