As promised, DJ Khaled unveiled two new songs featuring Drake on Friday (July 17) — “Greece” and “Popstar.” But the former is raising a few eyebrows on Twitter with many of The Weeknd’s fans accusing the 6 God of stealing his entire flow for the song.
“Come with me, leave all of your things, yeah/We can stop at Gucci, stop at Louis V, yeah,” Drake sings. “Come with me, fly you out to Greece/Full speed, survoler Paris/Come with me, leave all of your things, yeah/We can stop at Gucci, stop at Louis V, yeah/Come with me, fly you out to Greece/Full speed, je suis ton génie.”
The Weeknd quickly became a trending topic following the song’s release as more and more people had a chance to sit with the track. The similarities between The Weeknd’s style and Drake’s delivery are evidently too close for Twitter to bare and reactions are still pouring in.
Check some of them out below.

Drake sounded like a boring version of The Weeknd. Nothing interesting just the same sound over a beat that The Weeknd would do way better on. Two fails in a row. (2/10) pic.twitter.com/MHjGLcpsai
