D.R.A.M. Says Drake Jacked "Cha Cha" for "Hotline Bling"

Last night, Drake treated the Internet to a new “Hotline Bling” video involving a turtleneck, a beard, and some dorky dance moves. Meanwhile, D.R.A.M. was performing in Toronto as part of Chance, the Rapper’s “Family Matters” tour. After the show, as Miss Info points out, the Virginia singer/rapper addressed some apparent similarities between “Hotline Bling” and his track “Cha Cha”, arguing he got “jacked”. (Also of note: When “Hotline Bling” premiered, Beats 1 mistakenly tweeted: ‘New @Drake on that “Cha Cha” remix.’) Read D.R.A.M.’s tweets below, and scroll down for both tracks’ videos.

Just performed in Toronto for the 1st time tonight and it was bittersweet.
