Actually Meek Mill was bullied by Drake and not just dissed because Meek Mill was just being hit by hits from drake like 'charged up', 'energy', ' back to back'. While Meek only spluttered some unhearable diss tracks.
These days, rap battles are won or lost in the Twitter-sphere rather than on the street, a reality that Drake knows well. Drizzy engaged in plenty ofbeef this year, but none was more epic than the now-notorious Meek Mill feud. Aggrieved by Drake's lack of promotion for his Dreams Worth More Than Money, on which Drake appears, Mill took to Twitter on July 21st: "Stop comparing drake to me too ... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!" Mill painted Drake as a fraud and accused the rapper of enlisting ghostwriters, specifically Quentin Miller (who did in fact co-write on IYRTITL, but who also received writing credits in the liner notes). The hip-hop world weighed in, with OG Marco and Funkmaster Flex taking up for Mill, and Future, 40 and Lupe Fiasco going full-on Team Drake. Rick Ross stayed neutral, and Nicki Minaj kep
t relatively quiet, sticking up for boyfriend Mill over labelmate Drizzy in the end.
Drake felt the fight need to be settled musically. "This is a discussion about music," he said, questioning Mill's strategy, "and no one's putting forth any music?" He then took the show-don't-tell approach, firing off two diss tracks, "Charged Up" and "Back to Back," airing both songs on OVO Sound Radio in July. "Wow, I'm honored that you think this is staged/I'm flattered, man/In fact, I'm amazed," Drake spits in "Charged Up," making his point pretty clear.
Weeks passed before Mill responded with "Wanna Know," a salty track full of patronizing questions that ultimately fell flat, while Drake's "Back to Back" became a bona fide hit. Drake kept the heat on, opening his annual OVO Sound Fest in Toronto with the two tracks while a Powerpoint presentation of Mill memes flashed in the background. (He also sported a "Free Meek Mill" shirt during soundcheck.) What a Time to Be Alive soon drowned out any attempt from Mill to play catch-up, as the joint LP featured enough beefy lyrics to squash the battle for now.
