Drake Speaks On Ghostwriting, Meek Mill For The First Time

Finally, Drake breaks the long silence as he covers The FADER’s 100th issue subsequent to the release of “What A Time To Be Alive” with Future.
The FADER magazine caught up with Drake in Toronto, and he was able to open up for the very first time after Meek Mill’s rant about ghostwriting.

Check out his responses after the cut......



ON GHOSTWRITING ALLEGATIONS:

“I need, sometimes, individuals to spark an idea so that I can take off running. I don’t mind that. And those recordings—they are what they are. And you can use your own judgment on what they mean to you…If I have to be the vessel for this conversation to be brought up—you know, God forbid we start talking about writing and references and who takes what from where—I’m OK with it being me… It’s just, music at times can be a collaborative process, you know? Who came up with this, who came up with that—for me, it’s like, I know that it takes me to execute every single thing that I’ve done up until this point. And I’m not ashamed.”

ON HIS BATTLE WITH MEEK MILL:

“This is a discussion about music, and no one’s putting forth any music?… Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something?…It was weighing heavy on me. I didn’t get it. I didn’t get how there was no strategy on the opposite end. I just didn’t understand. I didn’t understand it because that’s just not how we operate.”

FUTURE ON DRAKE:

“Drake is my brother. We have a cool personal relationship, but we have an even better relationship musically.”
