Meek Mill has clarified his relationship with Drake after recently shouting out Drizzy’s biggest rival, Kendrick Lamar.
The Philly rapper was answering questions on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday (September 19) when he revealed his surprising thoughts on The 6 God and K.Dot.
One user asked: “What’s your Top 3 west coast rappers dead or alive #AskMeek?” Meek answered: “Tupacsnoop Kendrick no order!!!”
Another user responded: “Meek Kendrick is not your favorite stop lien.” Meek said: “In the west coast never said he’s my favorite most lyrical effective of my era from the west… fuck you want me to lie!? lol.”
A third replied: “Kendrick make the list after knocking Drake down a few pegs for ya?”
Meek rebutted with: “Nah I fuck with drake he cool him and Kendrick beef has nothing to do with me I fw k dot too I have all their disses on my playlist right now MeekMill.lnk.to/cybertruck.”
Though Meek Mill said that he has nothing to do with the beef between Kendrick and Drake, not everyone believes those claims.
Back in May, Akademiks accused the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper of being the catalyst for Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s history-making back and forth.
During his appearance on an episode of the Full Send podcast, the polarizing media personality explained why he blamed Meek – despite not having anything to do with the beef between K. Dot and Drizzy.
“What we’re seeing even with Drake and Kendrick – it’s Meek Mill’s fault,” he began.
He went on to explain that Meek should have and could have taken Drake out during their own feud in 2015, as Meek had the upper hand as the seasoned battle rapper against the Canadian child star.
“So now it’s given Drake the level of confidence to say, ‘Yo I’ve defeated the battlers of the battlers. These guys really don’t wanna see me.’ … And now we realize Meek Mill – as 50 Cent said – is a special type of stupid. Like literally, anybody could have defeated him. I defeated him on Twitter [and] he just blocked me.
“The guy is so dumb. He’s one of the few people that you’re like, maybe we gave Drake too much credit for beating this guy. … Meek has a remedial, slower person’s brain. If you put an actual able-bodied brain in there, he might have beaten Drake.”
Ak then pointed out Meek’s biggest fumble was tweeting out that Drake uses ghostwriters at the time of their beef, instead of putting that information in a diss song like Pusha T did with revealing Drake’s son.
“Could have been a different type of battle, but who knows. He’s a different type of stupid.”
Tom Morello has called off two scheduled performances as he focuses on supporting his mother following her recent hospital stay.
In a message shared on Instagram on Thursday, the Rage Against the Machine guitarist revealed that he was flying back to the United States to be with his 102 year old mother, Mary Morello, and help care for her.
"Dear friends, fans and comrades, my dear mom, Mary Morello is back in the hospital and I'm headed home to help look after her," he wrote. "Rocking the UK & Europe with you all this summer has been incredible, and I can't wait to be back with you and continue this movement that we started. With much love, unity and power."
The guitarist had been scheduled to perform at the Tons Of Rock Festival in Oslo, Norway, along with the BBK Music Legends Festival in Bilbao, Spain this weekend.
Earlier this month, Morello also cancelled planned appearances in London and Paris, with ticket holders offered refunds through their original point of purchase. However, he still made it to the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands.
"I am sorry I had to miss a few shows due to my mom's health," the 62 year old noted. "The incredibly resilient, indefatigable Mary Morello at 102 is now feeling somewhat better and has ordered me back into the fray, charging me with rocking you and fighting fascism six strings at a time."
At this point, Morello has not announced when he expects to return to the stage.
Mary Morello, the musician's mother, built a career as a teacher and activist. She also helped establish the anti censorship organization Parents for Rock and Rap during the late 1980s.
