Saat kasus ghost writing yang menerpanya hampir berlalu, datang lagi tuduhan baru kepada Drake. Ia dianggap telah "membajak" beat track 'Cha Cha' milik D.R.A.M. untuk dipakai single hitsnya saat ini, 'Hotline Bling'.
D.R.A.M. memanfaatkan akun Twitternya untuk mencurahkan uneg-unegnya tentang hal ini:
Bitter though, cus after my performance all I’m seeing is Cha Cha/Hotline Bling comparisons on my timeline.

Dan ia kemudian menambahkan dengan:
Yeah, I feel I got jacked for my record...But I’m GOOD.

Dengar 'Cha Cha' di bawah ini:
Drake sendiri ternyata mengakui kemiripan antara dua lagu ini saat diwawancarai oleh The Fader. "You know, like in Jamaica, you'll have a riddim and it's like, everyone has to do a song on that," katanya."Imagine that in rap, or imagine that in R&B. Imagine if we got one beat and every single person - me, this guy, this guy, all these guys - had to do a song on that one beat. So sometimes I'll pick a beat that's a bit, like, sunnier - I guess is the word you used - than usual, and I just try my hand at it. And that's kind of what 'Hotline Bling' was."
Simak 'Hotline Bling' di bawah ini:
