Drake ’10 Bands’ Song Written By Ghostwriter As Meek Mill Says ‘Sorry’ To Nicki Minaj For Drake Twitter Rant [Videos]
It all seemingly began when Drake and Meek Mill got into a Twitter war of words when Meek claimed that Drake didn’t write his own songs. Now, those accusations are ramped up with the version, below, of “10 Bands” by Quentin Miller. That “10 Bands” song version was played by Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 out of New York City on Wednesday night, and it seems to prove that what Mill said about Drake is true.

As reported by the Inquisitr, it was Meek’s Twitter rant about Drake that brought attention to the ghostwriting issue — and it’s that same Twitter rant that caused Mill to apologize to Nicki in another new video about the melee.

Mill said he was angry that Drake gave Meek a verse that Drake himself didn’t write.
Indeed, the whole topic of ghostwriting in hip-hop is a volatile and controversial one, because the memoir-style nature of rap lyrics suggests that a person has lived the usually hardened lifestyle that they are rhyming about. It’s one thing for Kandi Burruss to ghostwrite a song like “No Scrubs” for TLC. The group members TLC could relate to the lyrics, but their fans wouldn’t likely be upset if they learned that T-Boz, Chili, and Left Eye didn’t actually write about a guy “hanging out the passenger side of his best friend’s ride” themselves.
However, for Drake to rhyme about knowing guys who can’t leave Canada because of their arrest records — Drake fans want to know if lyrics like those are really from his own heart or from the hand and experiences of another man.
Meek explained to his Twitter followers that he’s not one to hold his tongue — nor his 140 characters — when he gets angry.
Meanwhile, Drake is now a trending topic on Twitter, with plenty of jokes about Drake’s ghostwriter getting busy writing a diss track against Meek.
