Despite “Vibeking” not being available to stream on any platform and “Call Out My Name,” which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, having amassed over 700 million YouTube views and 836 Spotify streams, Fox and Strange claim The Weeknd jacked their song and that they were in correspondence with Abel’s DJ, PNDA, over the mater but that PNDA told them they would not be credited.
Whether or not Strange and Fox make out with anything from this lawsuit, it will be interesting to see how the suit proceeds, especially because of the pair’s seemingly-circumstancial explanation as to why they believe the Starboy singer plagiarized their entire idea.

What do you think? Did Abel nab “Vibeking” from Eppiker, flip it into “Call Out My Name,” and turn it into a top-five Billboard hit? Let us know in the comments.
