Rihanna & Drake vs. PartyNextDoor, New Album Hype: 'Work' Reference Track Instagram LEAK

Rihanna's new song "Work" featuring Drake continues climbing the charts. But Drizzy's fellow OVO Sound rapper PartyNextDoor actually penned (and first recorded) the catchy tune - so does he deserve more credit?

According to HotNewHipHop.com, PND wrote the music while Sevn Thomas, Boi-1da, and Allen Ritter masterminded the production. Apparently, "Scream Queens" beauty Keke Palmer is a huge fan of the original track. She recently shared these viral Snapchats:

So, which version do MstarsNews readers prefer?

Turns out that the "Over Here" emcee is thankful for the awesome exposure and recognition:

My first #1 as a songwriter. Thank you @badgalriri and @champagnepapi for the opportunity. Album on the way

Plus, it's a great opportunity to promote his new album! Details on that release still remain unconfirmed.

Meanwhile, RiRi and her former "Take Care" flame killed it at the Brit Awards earlier this week:

Just as they are for PND, hopefully things are going better for the Anti superstar following her Grammy Awards cancellation...

"She keeps a good face for the public but behind closed doors, Rihanna's going through it. She's depressed. Her album isn't popping the way she thought it would and that's got her down. She's a pop princess with a big ego but she's still human and those (anti) Anti reviews kicked her in the gut," an alleged insider tells the popular gossip webloid HollywoodLife.com. "It gets worse - her love life blows... She doesn't have any real romance that she feels will last a lifetime. She's tired of the hookups, the booty calls, and seeing all her friends posting pictures of themselves with their boyfriends or girlfriends on Valentine's Day made her sick to her stomach. She's having a rough patch and was really too sick to perform last night. She'll get better but right now, she's in a funk."
