Drake has been put on blast by a Baltimore artist named Rye Rye who claimed she was sampled on For All The Dogs.
Rye Rye took to social media on Friday (October 6) after realizing her “What” ad-lib had unknowingly been used on the 21 Savage-assisted “Calling For You.”

Rye Rye continued: “Me and @blaqstarr FR should be getting our credit but this also lets me know I’m legendary lol Thank you But stop taking advantage of black women dawgggg.”

“Calling For You” landed as track no. 3 on For All The Dogs and is produced by a phalanx that includes Lil Yachty, PoWR Trav, Jaystolaa, 40, Gentuar Memishi, Glyn Brown and Cash Cobain.
“You need to hire a lawyer and really track down who is relapsing your vocals for use and go from there … legit crazy at this point how you’re not being properly credited,” a friend urged in the comments.
Unfortunately for the “21 Jump Street” artist, this isn’t the first time Rye Rye’s vocals have popped up on a Drake record in an uncredited fashion.
Last year, a similar situation transpired when her ad-libs appeared on Honestly, Nevermind‘s “Currents.”
