Drake's "Hotline Bling" Success Angers D.R.A.M.: "I Got Jacked for My Record"
Drake's "Hotline Bling" may become his first-ever No. 1 solo single on the Hot 100 chart, especially now that its endlessly meme-able music video has been released. One artist who's not exactly sending Drizzy a congratulatory greeting card for the impending accomplishment is D.R.A.M., the Virginia singer-songwriter whose single "Cha Cha" served as the "inspiration" for "Hotline Bling."
"Just performed in Toronto for the 1st time tonight and it was bittersweet," D.R.A.M. began a string of tweets on Monday night (Oct. 19), hours after Drake unveiled his "Hotline Bling" video. "Sweet cus I’m out here sharing my music, my sound with the people.. Bitter though, cus after my performance all I’m seeing is Cha Cha/Hotline Bling comparisons on my timeline."
