Canadian pseudo rapper Drake has shelled out a cool $100,000 to compatriot Rappin' 4-Tay after allegations arose that Drake's lyrics on YG's song 'Who Do You Love' were copied from a song he released 20 years ago.
The YG song, which came out earlier this year, was deemed similar enough to warrant Drake's record label to pay damages in spite of Rappin' 4-Tay (catchy name, huh?) not filing any official lawsuits. Rappin' 4-Tay has said that he is "no longer offended", presumably down to his newly inflated bank account.
How similar are the lyrics? We'll let you judge for yourself:
Drake's part on 'Who Do You Love?' goes: "I got a shorty name Texas Syn / She got a buddy named Young JB and now you know the deal / We turnt up in the studio late night / That's why the songs that you hear are comin' real tight / OVO crew, nigga, thought I told you / If you a player in the game, this should hold you / And man, shout my nigga Game, he just rolled through / Eatin' crab out in Malibu at Nobu / A lot of fools puttin' salt in the game / Until these women get the notion that they runnin' the game."
While 'Playaz Club,' is like this: "I got a ho named Reel-to-Reel / She got a buddy named SP-12, now you know the deal / We gets freaky in the studio late night / That's why the beats that you hear are coming real tight / Something to roll to, something to stroll to / If you's a playa in the game, this will hold you / Mo' money, mo'
That's a $100,000 right there, folks. Just think about that.
