The songs "Forever Mine" and "Back Stabbers" are both classic hits by The O'Jays, not The Manhattans or Drake. While Drake has sampled other O'Jays songs, there is no evidence that he has sampled either of these specific tracks. The O'Jays: An Overview • "Forever Mine" This slow jam was a Top 40 hit released on The O'Jays' 1979 album Identify Yourself. It reached number 4 on the R&B charts and number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. • "Back Stabbers" A signature Philadelphia soul anthem from 1972, "Back Stabbers" reached number 1 on the Hot Soul Singles chart and number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song warns listeners about duplicitous "friends" and was a breakthrough hit for the group and the Philadelphia International Records label. • The Manhattans This vocal group is known for their own R&B hits, most notably the chart-topping 1976 ballad "Kiss and Say Goodbye". They did not record "Forever Mine" or "Back Stabbers". Drake's Connections (AI Overview) • Sampling The O'Jays Drake has sampled music by The O'Jays in other projects, which helps introduce their classic sound to newer audiences. • "Fake Love" Mashup The O'Jays' "Back Stabbers" has been mashed up with Drake's song "Fake Love" in unofficial covers, demonstrating the influence and timelessness of the original. In summary, the songs mentioned are key parts of The O'Jays' legacy, and any connection to Drake is generally through unofficial remixes or his use of other O'Jays samples
