According to the report released by Billboard, the song “Calling My Name” has the phrase “Killer cut, blood, killer cut” which is used in Obrafour’s track, named “Oye Ohene” from 2018. Previously, Drake had used excerpts from other works by the same singer in the song “One Dance” and that there is evidence of these facts that could be harmful to the rapper in the judgment.
