‘Cause we know how far it was going, and almost went.”ī.Dot includes Meek Mill, as well as Chris Brown, Tory Lanez, and Puff Daddy (“to an extent”) in a list of people that Drake has made peace with, following tensions and conflict.
I think we both felt an obligation just to everybody that had eyes on us, all these young kids, we had to turn that around. “For us to be able to turn that around was a big thing. I wasn’t beefin’ with no punk,” Drake admits, having won the battle with back-to- back knockout blows, musically. Following on-stage reunions, in 2019, Drake appeared in a dramatic music video to Meek’s ’18 track, “Going Bad.” That song and the other tracks from Meek’s Championships are now nominated for “Best Rap Album” at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Following a 2015 conflict where the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania MC tried to blackball Drake for using Quentin Miller’s songwriting on “R.I.C.O” and other songs, the two made peace. However, Drake finally gave the team more than two hours in an engaging discussion that shows where the artist’s head is, and how he looks back at recent controversies.ĭrake & Meek Mill Show The Destruction They Avoided By Ending Their Beef (Video)Īt the 1:05:00 mark, Drake discusses his ’18 armistice with Meek Mill. Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller have had at least two previous attempts at sitting down recently with Drizzy, as they revealed on Drink Champs. Less than 48 hours after “War,” The Rap Radar Podcast published its latest interview with Drake. It punctuates a relatively quiet year for Drake, following an early 2019 Grammy “Best Rap Song” win for “God’s Plan” and an impassioned speech. However, as the song’s title suggests, the MC/singer used wordplay and subliminal disses to confront enemies, potentially including Pusha-T, Kanye West, Puff Daddy, and possibly even Rihanna.
It looks like the ball's in Mill's court now, though due to his lack of response so far, Drizzy may have already hit this one over the fence.This week, Drake released a new video single, “War.” The Toronto, Ontario superstar let listeners know that he would like to make peace with The Weeknd.

The track is accompanied by a photo of Toronto baseball legend Joe Carter from the Blue Jays' 1993 World Series victory - a game that earned the team back to back titles, and also saw them defeat Mill's home team, the Philadelphia Phillies. Now, the Toronto rapper has fired back in his own words with another diss track titled "Back to Back Freestyle." Not bothering to wait for a response to Mill, the new track follows Drake's "Charged Up," but takes a definitively less subtle approach this time around.ĭespite noting that "When I look back, I might be mad that I gave this attention," Drake goes on to fire verbal shots at Mill like: "Is that a world tour or your girl's tour?" Aptly enough, Mill's girlfriend Nicki Minaj rolled through Toronto last night (July 28) as part of her Pinkprint Tour (on which Mill is the opening act).
Following accusations from Meek Mill that Drake doesn't write his own raps, fellow Torontonians like Councillor Norm Kelly and producer Noah "40" Shebib have jumped to Drizzy's defence.
