Did Meek Mill just prove Drake uses a ghost writer?

Meek Mill might have proven Drake uses ghost writers by catching him red-handed.

Just when you thought the Meek Mill and Drake beef was going to go away, it roared back to life with both artists dropping diss tracks. While interest in the beef might have died down, this could possibly be the most important chapter in the beef with Meek Mill seemingly catching Drake red-handed, but it might be too little too late.

First, let’s set the scene. This all started when Meek Mill accused Drake of using a ghost writer. Drake clapped back hard with “Back to Back” and Meek Mill seemingly never recovered from that diss track.

If he ever was going to recover, it would probably be Saturday night when he pulled off something simply remarkable.

Drake was set to drop his new single “Summer Sixteen” on OVO Sound Radio somewhere after 6 p.m. ET.

After the diss track dropped, Meek Mill quickly dropped a set of four songs for 4/4 Pt. 2, about an hour after Drake’s diss.

In short, he knew it was coming and was ready. That doesn’t mean anything, Meek Mill could’ve canned a diss track ready to be dropped as soon as Drake would inevitably come back at him.

What gets interesting is that Meek Mill specifically addresses parts of Drake’s diss track that had come out maybe an hour beforehand.

For instance, Drake talks about a scene where he rented a hotel room above Meek Mill and tormented him by playing “Back to Back” on loop all night. Meek Mill verifies this story and references it in the opening of the song “War Pain.”

Could be coincidence, but let’s dig deeper.

In Drake’s song, he raps: “Used to wanna be on Rocafella but I turned into Jay.” Essentially saying he wanted to be signed to Jay Z’s label once upon a time, but has become so successful he is the new Jay Z for a variety of reasons, success, wealth, affiliations with NBA teams, clothing lines, what have you.

But in Meek Mill’s song, which came out maybe an hour later, he specifically mentions Drake comparing himself to Jay Z.

“You ain’t write it’ n—a, we caught ya, can’t erase that shit, And you claimin’ you HOV now? Why you state that sh-t?”

Two coincidences? Starting to get less likely.

Drake also references his single Hotline Bling with the lyric “Then I hit ‘em with the Hotline, Chris Breezy with the dance moves.” Meek Mill also references that same song: “Wait, n—as dancin’ like they fruitcakes. Hotline Bling, don’t get no bing up in this new Wraith.”

This could’ve definitely been a coincidence, but again it is specific.

So the conspiracy theory could be that Drake is still getting lyrics ghost written, and Meek Mill knew about it and caught him red-handed.

That’s what Meek Mill is going to claim, as he did on Instagram.

If that were true, this seems like the best case Meek Mill could’ve ever had to catch Drake using lyrics he didn’t write red-handed. The problem is that Drake has been so overwhelmingly crowned the winner, and so long ago, that it is most definitely too little too late to change the thoughts of the mainstream public.

Now, the counter argument will be that Meek Mill could’ve quickly recorded some lyrics to be mixed into the song to specifically acknowledge things Drake said to give off the appearance of catching him ghost writing.

But Meek Mill addresses that in “War Pain” as well with the following lyrics: “No reply, word to God I’m on the floor still. Me and Nicki watchin’ the Sixers.”

He is telling the world it is not a reply to Drake’s song because he was sitting courtside watching the Sixers… which he literally was and everyone saw it. The image at the top of the post is from that very game and his antics during the game, all the way down to the end of it, were recorded by a sideline reporter and he literally walked out of the arena within minutes of the EP, including “War Pain,” being dropped.

If you still don’t want to side with Meek Mill and believe that Drake is using ghost-written lyrics, it also could mean that Meek Mill, who is dating Nicki Minaj who is on the same label as Drake and is friends with Drake, has a mole in his OVO camp to get information. Drake had announced on Friday that the new track was coming on Saturday, and Meek Mill could’ve known because of that.

Either way, it is incredibly interesting and will be fascinating to watch it all unfold.
