Drake dealt the latest blow in his [ongoing feud with Meek Mill](http://time.com/3967466/meek-mill-drake/) on Monday, opening his OVO Fest set in Toronto with a series of memes dissing the Philadelphia-born hip-hop star.

> [](https://twitter.com/Nigel%5FD/status/628377462116712448)

Rumors of Drake’s newest foray started swirling when he was caught wearing a shirt saying “Free Meek Mill” while rehearsing for his set.

> [](https://twitter.com/the6Tracks/status/628337372321738752)

The Canadian rapper first donned the shirt when Meek Mill was[ incarcerated after violating a probation order](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/meek-mill-sentenced-to-jail-for-probation-violation-20140713) last year.

Before long, #FreeMeekMill was trending on Twitter, adding further fuel to the fire as fans weighed in over who is winning the weeks-long quarrel.

> [](https://twitter.com/Tracklife%5FAiden/status/628403076672684032)

The diss tracks and [jibes](http://time.com/3976620/drake-meek-mill-diss-track-nicki-minaj/) have been rolling off Drake’s tongue since Mill accused him of getting ghost writers to compose his raps. Most recently, when he was asked how he felt about potentially losing a rained-out kickball game, [Drake](https://sports.vice.com/en%5Fus/highlight/lebron-and-drake-kickball-game-rained-out-drake-burns-meek-mill-again/?utm%5Fsource=vicesportsfb) responded that he hadn’t “taken a loss all week.”

Meek Mill has tried hitting back with his [own diss](http://time.com/3980063/meek-mill-drake-diss-track-wanna-know/) track, but seems to be having a harder time of it. Some even suggest girlfriend Nicki Minaj [dumped him](http://www.vulture.com/2015/08/nicki-minaj-allegedly-dumps-meek-mill-poor-guy.html) because of the uproar.
