In a lengthy Twitter storm, some of which is excerpted below, Mill said Drake’s use of ghostwriters is a poorly kept industry secret. “The whole game know forreal they scared to tell the truth!” he wrote, later adding Minaj and Lil Wayne to list of knowledgeable parties. “I can’t wait tok these guys and sit back and act like they don’t know!” Mill said the reason Drake hasn’t tweeted in support of Mill’s new album, _Dreams Worth More Than Money_—on which Drake is featured on the song “R.I.C.O.”—is because Mill knows about his alleged ghostwriting. Apparently, it’s a recent discovery: Mill added that he would have cut Drake’s verse had he known beforehand. “I don’t trick my fans!” he wrote. Drake hasn’t responded yet, but that hasn’t stopped other rappers from chiming in: Rick Ross expressed his support for Drake in [a since-deleted tweet](https://twitter.com/TheRealLilEdd/status/623723891668746241), though Mill says [it’s all good](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623722448538632192) between them. Even politicians have weighed in: a councillor for the city of Toronto, Drake’s hometown, told Mill [“no longer welcome”](https://twitter.com/norm/status/623828839131648000) in that city. > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623700698509758464) > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623701076332560384) > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623702220307959808) > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623703382675460096) > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623705221575749632) > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623713867613368320) > [](https://twitter.com/MeekMill/status/623727663060901888) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3967466/meek-mill-drake/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3967466/meek-mill-drake/"},"headline":"Meek Mill Claims Drake Doesn't Write His Own Raps","datePublished":"2015-07-22T14:43:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:28:06.790Z","description":"The rapper went on a Twitter spree the same evening girlfriend Nicki Minaj exchanged words with Taylor Swift","url":"https://time.com/3967466/meek-mill-drake/","keywords":["Music","Drake","Nicki Minaj"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt686e6336f6e1b314/69885be95f570f7ef9b1c8b8/drake.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt686e6336f6e1b314/69885be95f570f7ef9b1c8b8/drake.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Drake","caption":"Drake","creditText":"Joel Ryan—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3967466/meek-mill-drake/","name":"Meek Mill Claims Drake Doesn't Write His Own Raps"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Know Right Now: Minaj and Swift Feud","description":"Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to comment on the exclusion of “Anaconda” from the “Video of the Year” category.
