The band, Pet Shop Boys, has recently brought to light that Drake has used the chorus of their 1986 classic 'West End Girls' in his track 'All the Parties' without obtaining permission or giving proper credit. Pet Shop Boys expressed their surprise on X (formerly Twitter), stating that it was unexpected to hear Drake singing their chorus without any acknowledgment or official request.

Drake's 'All the Parties', featuring Chief Keef, includes a segment towards the end of the track where he can be heard singing the following lyrics: "In this 6ix side town, a dead end world / East End boys and West End girls, yeah / East End boys and West End girls, ayy."



The song 'All the Parties' is part of Drake's eighth studio album, 'For All the Dogs', which was released on 6th October.
