Cole, Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, and many more appear across the album’s 23-song tracklist. The project also reignites MANY old beefs that Drizzy has dealt with in the past. But it may have even sparked some new beefs with various artists whose songs were used without permission on the album.

Earlier today Rye Rye came forward claiming that the sample Drake used of her vocals wasn’t cleared.

She made a tweet explaining how much she appreciates artistry but that she can’t even celebrate her inclusion because she wasn’t credited. Now, synth pop duo Pet Shop Boys are making similar accusations. They made a tweet claiming that the interpolation of their song “West End Girls” on the For All The Dogs song “All The Parties” was never cleared. “No credit given or permission requested,” they conclude their tweet on the issue.
