Baltimore-born entertainer Rye Rye took to Twitter to call out Drake for using her voice on his song "Calling for You" ft. 21 Savage off of his For All The Dogs album.
She wrote, "REALLY @Drake MY VOCALS AGAIN? & NO CREDIT? I really wanna be flattered but I feel like it’s trolling ATP OMG …one of my fave artists doing this I don’t know how to feel anymore but thank you for reminding me that my 15 year old vocals are still legendary."
Rye Rye added, "Like how tf lil John chair squeaking sample get credited on currents over my actual voice WTF. I’m feeling angry inside all over again.. I feel so disrespected.. guess that’s how the game goes huh lol bettttt. Ruined my whole f***in day I don’t even wanna fly nomore. Sitting here crying but I can’t be a sucker. I gotta turn this s**t into motivation.
I always been strong and I feel it in the universe ima get what I deserve. Make me wanna turn into a b***h but ima let me heart keep being pure. I worked so hard at 15 when I created them vocals. I get that they’re legendary I love that yall f*** with it. But damn at first yall might didn’t know where the sample came from. Now it’s been made clear and yall still just can’t give credit."
Drake previously sampled Rye Rye's “Shake it to the Ground" on "Currents," which led to her reaching out to Sony. In a 2022 interview with the Baltimore Sun, Rye Rye revealed that she had "a tentative agreement to receive a portion of the proceeds from the song."
