According to consequence.net, the group Pet Shop Boys have allegedly accused Drake of allegedly interpolating their song “West End Girls” without alleged credit or alleged permission. The alleged borrowed riff can allegedly be found on the song “All the Parties,” which is a track that is on Drake‘s new album For All the Dogs.
Despite the alleged legal issues, “All the Parties” is allegedly a nod Pet Shop Boys‘ 1984 hit, as Drake allegedly sings: “East End boys and West End girls” in the same alleged melody.
On October 6 Pet Shop Boys went on social media to release the following statement: “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 Pet Shop Boys are not the first people to have alleged issues with Drake’s alleged creative choices because previously actress Halle Berry allegedly voiced her disapproval of the rapper using an alleged photo of her doused in green slime for the single artwork to “Slime You Out.”
