Last week (6 October), released his eighth solo studio album, For All The Dogs. Pet Shop Boys have now called him out for not giving them credit on "All the Parties" which has an interpolation of their 1986 hit, "West End Girls".

For All The Dogs features collaborations with the likes of 21 Savage, SZA, Teezo Touchdown, J Cole, Bad Bunny and more. His five-year-old son Adonis created the album's artwork.

Following the album’s release, Pet Shop Boys took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to call out Drake for the uncredited interpolation of one of their biggest hits: “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," they wrote.

The lyrics they are referring to are when Drake says: “And it’s 6, our town a dead end world / East End boys and West End girls", which seems directly taken from their own song, “West End Girls", where Pet Shop Boys sing: “In a West End town, a dead end world / The East End boys and West End girls.”

Drake is yet to share a response to this.
