There is only love between Drake and the Pet Shop Boys!
In an interview with Rolling Stone published on Saturday, May 4, the British synthpop band spoke about what happened to Drake (whose real name is Aubrey Graham) after they mentioned him in a 2023 post on X (formerly Twitter) for using their song “West End Girls” on his 2023 song “All the Parties” from his album For all dogs without asking for permission.
The duo’s singer, Neil Tennant, said he learned from his brother that the 37-year-old rapper sang lyrics from the band’s 1986 debut single in his song.
