NO ghostwriter allegations that I can think of, but DRAM came out and said Aubrey bit this song of his:



And Drake tacitly admitted he did steal it:

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

"Yeah, I feel I got jacked for my record...But I’m GOOD"

You know, like in Jamaica, you’ll have a riddim and it’s like, everyone has to do a song on that. Imagine that in rap, or imagine that in R&B. Imagine if we got one beat and every single person—me, this guy, this guy, all these guys—had to do a song on that one beat. So sometimes I’ll pick a beat that’s a bit, like, sunnier, I guess is the word you used, than usual, and I just try my hand at it. And that’s kind of what ‘Hotline Bling’ was. And I loved it. It’s cool. I’ve been excited by that sort of creative process.

kind of interesting that the original sample itself is sorta of a bite. listen to why cant we live together (1972) by timmy thomas (the hotline bling sample), but sing the chorus of al greens lets stay together (1971) over it.



but then again can you really bite a chord progression?

as far as hotline bling, drake and nineteen85 are credited as writers, so you can draw your own conclusions there
