Hosting last night’s ESPY Awards, Drake has also found himself in a tricky situation with a fellow rapper - allegedly stealing lyrics without consent or acknowledgement.
Rappin’ 4-Tay has accused the Canadian star of using lines from his 1994 song “Playaz Club”. The lyrics in question feature in Drizzy’s guest verse on YG’s “Who Do You Love”. 4-Tay also says that Drake’s label have now paid $100,000 to settle the affair.
Meanwhile, last night’s ESPYs saw Drake presenting, appearing in a skit with Chris Brown and performing live. Watch highlights from that, along with the two aforementioned tracks, beneath:
