Documents allege that the rapper's single 'Best I Ever Had' sampled the 1975 song 'Fallin' in Love' by Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, reports MissTilaOMG.com. The song is owned by Playboy Enterprises.
The media company is seeking damages from Drake and his label Cash Money Records as well as Universal Music Group and Universal Music Group Distribution.
The suit said: "Each defendant either knew, or should have reasonably known, that the sound recording ['Fallin' in Love'] was protected by copyright. Each defendant continues to infringe upon plaintiff's right in and to the copyrighted sound recording."
"[Playboy Enterprises] asks that all infringing works be recalled and destroyed."
The company's attorney Neville Johnson of Johnson & Johnson LLP confirmed the suit to MTV News but gave no further comment.
