List of Drake samples and sampling disputes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Throughout his career, Canadian rapper Drake has incorporated samples and interpolations of other artists' music into his songs, from the mixtape Comeback Season (2007) to the 2026 albums Iceman, Maid of Honour and Habibti. In 2015, Complex wrote that Drake is "by no means known as a sample-based rapper", but credited his producers Noah "40" Shebib and Boi-1da with finding obscure sample loops and reworking popular songs into new instrumentals.[1]

However, Drake has also been involved in disputes over the authorization of his samples, some of them legal. In 2010, Playboy Enterprises sued Drake, Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group, alleging that "Best I Ever Had" sampled "Fallin' in Love" by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds.[2][3] A musician who performs as Sam Skully later sued over "In My Feelings" and "Nice for What", filing the claim repeatedly, most recently in 2022,[4] and in 2023 Ghanaian artist Obrafour sued over "Calling My Name".[5] Other artists have publicly objected to Drake's use of their work, including the Pet Shop Boys over "All the Parties"[6] and Burna Boy over "Get It Together".[7]

"Best I Ever Had"
"Fallin' in Love sample
In June 2010, Hot 97 DJ DJ Absolut filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit in a Queens court against producer and rapper Kia Shine (Nakia Coleman) over "Best I Ever Had".[35] Shine had earlier claimed to own 25 per cent of the song's publishing rights, which Drake denied, stating, "I have never met Kia Shine or worked with him."[35] Drake said he wrote the composition in Toronto and borrowed one line from a Lil Wayne song whose beat Shine had produced.[35]
According to Absolut's lawyers, Shine had agreed to pay Absolut 20 per cent of the song's proceeds because it contained a beat Shine made before its release.[35] The suit alleged that Shine broke that agreement and instead met with Drake's representatives to receive 25 per cent of the song's copyright interest, reportedly earning him $1 million.[35] Absolut's lawyer told the New York Daily News that they had been unable to reach Shine.[35] The song traces back to "Do It for Ya Boy", produced by Shine and Lil Wayne, which appeared on Absolut's mixtape The Leak.[35]
"Unstoppable" sample
Santigold's song "Unstoppable" was sampled on a collaboration with Lil Wayne on So Far Gone.[30] In June 2009, Brooklyn DJ Terry Urban said that Downtown Music, Santigold's label, had sent him a cease-and-desist letter over Southerngold, a mixtape he had made by blending Southern rap vocals over remixed samples of tracks that influenced Santigold, as he was uploading it for free download.[30] Santigold responded with a statement that she had never heard of the DJ or the mix before it was brought to her on Myspace, that she had not sent any cease-and-desist letter, and that she supported mixtape culture.[30] Downtown Music declined to comment to Pitchfork. Urban ignored the letter and posted the mixtape online, arguing that it was free promotion for Santigold.[30]
"Do It for the Boy" sample
In June 2010, Playboy Enterprises filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against Drake, Cash Money Records and Universal Music Group in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.[2][3] The suit alleged that Drake's song "Best I Ever Had" sampled "Fallin' in Love" (1975) by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds. Playboy stated that the copyright in the song belonged to Playboy Music, Inc., of which it was the successor in interest.[2] "Fallin' in Love" had reached number one in the United States in 1975 and was Playboy Records' only pop hit.[36][37]
Playboy alleged that each defendant "knew or should have reasonably known" that the sound recording was protected by copyright, and that the infringement was ongoing.[2] It sought an injunction, an accounting of profits, and costs and attorneys' fees.[2] It also sought damages and demanded that "all infringing works be recalled and destroyed".[3][36] Toronto Life suggested that the overlap was the introduction of the songs,[3] while The Guardian described it as the shared opening bass riff.[36]

"Nice for What" and "In My Feelings"
In 2019, a year after the release of Scorpion, a musician named Samuel Nicholas III, who performs as Sam Skully, filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against Drake over "In My Feelings" and "Nice for What".[4] Nicholas alleged that elements of his 2000 track "Roll Call (Instrumental)" had been sampled in both songs, which were produced by BlaqNmilD (Adam J. Pigott).[4][58] Both songs spent more than eight weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[58] Nicholas had twice filed the same claims before, and both earlier cases were dismissed because he did not pursue them in court.[4][58]
In March 2022, Nicholas filed a third lawsuit in a Louisiana federal court. It claimed that the New Orleans bounce sound of the two songs came from "directly copying" his track.[58] The complaint alleged that BlaqNmilD had added the same sample to other bounce records he produced for other artists.[4][58] As evidence, it cited a video interview the producer gave to Genius, in which an audio clip of about 18 seconds of a beat was shown.[58] The lawsuit also named Big Freedia and several other entities, among them Asylum Records, Cash Money Records and Republic Records.[4][58]
BlaqNmilD's representatives said that the producer and Nicholas had each sampled "Drag Rap (Triggerman)", a 1986 song by the Showboys, rather than one copying the other.[4][58] His manager, Craig E. Baylis, said that Pigott had made sure the group was contacted for clearances, and asked whether Nicholas had done the same.[4][58] Representatives for Drake and Warner Music Group, the parent company of the songs' publishers, did not respond to Billboard's requests for comment.[58]

"Calling My Name"
In April 2023, Ghanaian artist Obrafour filed a copyright-infringement lawsuit against Drake, alleging that "Calling My Name" sampled his 2003 single "Oye Ohene (Remix)" without permission.[5] According to the suit, a member of Drake's team twice emailed Obrafour a sample clearance request in the week before Honestly, Nevermind was surprise-released on 17 June 2022, but Obrafour had not replied to either when the album came out within hours of being announced.[5] The suit described the sample as a direct copy with little or no audible alteration, and noted that the song had been streamed more than 47 million times on Spotify and more than 4.1 million times on YouTube in the 304 days after its release.[5] It sought at least $10 million in compensation, citing profits and damages from album sales, downloads, digital revenue, sponsorships and concerts.[5]
Obrafour's lawyer, Imran H. Ansari, said that Obrafour owns the copyright in the song in both Ghana and the United States, and that Drake used it without permission, credit or payment.[5] He said that Drake tried to secure the rights days before the release but put the song out without waiting for approval.[5] Representatives for Drake did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone's request for comment.[5]

"All the Parties"
In October 2023, on the day For All the Dogs was released, the Pet Shop Boys said that Drake had not approached them about interpolating their song "West End Girls" on "All the Parties".[6] The 1986 single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and on "All the Parties" Drake sings its "East End boys and West End girls" chorus.[6] The duo said the use came as a surprise, with "no credit given or permission requested".[6] Pitchfork described the interpolation as controversial, among the album's other notable samples such as Frank Ocean's "Wiseman" on "Virginia Beach" and Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" on "7969 Santa", and repeated the duo's claim that Drake used the song without credit or permission.[107]
