Pet Shop Boys publicly accused Drake of interpolating their track “West End Girls” for his For All the Dogs cut, “All the Parties.”

“Surprising to hear Drake singing the chorus of ‘West End girls’ in the track ‘All the Parties’ on his new album,” they wrote on Instagram, referring to the song’s one-minute mark when Drizzy can be heard singing “East End boys and West End girls.” The duo added, “No credit given or permission requested.”

Neither Drake nor his reps have responded to the allegations as of writing.

For All the Dogs features guest appearances from Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, Teezo Touchdown, J. Cole, Yeat, SZA, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Chief Keef, Sexxy Red, Lil Yachty and a special contribution from Drizzy’s son, Adonis.

Elsewhere in music, Drake, Denzel Curry and Tems lead the week’s Best New Tracks.
