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.”

David Lee Roth made an unexpected appearance at the Stagecoach Festival on Saturday evening, stepping onto the stage with Teddy Swims to perform “Jump,” the iconic 1984 hit by Van Halen.
During his Stagecoach set, Swims welcomed Roth after running through his recent single “Mr. Know It All” along with “Some Things I’ll Never Know,” both taken from his debut studio album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1), which arrived in September 2023.
This moment marked the third straight festival where the two have shared the stage. Swims previously invited Roth out during recent sets at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where he introduced him as “David Lee Roth from the best band of all time, Van Halen,” before they kicked into “Jump” together.
The latest performance unfolded during a chaotic night at Stagecoach, as strong winds earlier in the evening led to a temporary evacuation of the grounds and forced several changes to the schedule, including removing artists such as Journey and Riley Green from the lineup.
The evacuation came after powerful gusts swept through the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the site of the festival. An “emergency evacuation” notice appeared on screens across the venue, urging attendees to “move quickly and calmly to the nearest exit,” while alerts sent through the festival’s official app instructed people to clear the area.
The interruption impacted several stages, with the Mane Stage sitting between sets when the evacuation alert was issued. Wind conditions had been intensifying throughout the day, with stronger gusts arriving in the evening as part of a regional wind advisory.
Even with the disruption, Swims’ set ultimately continued, and Roth’s surprise appearance stood out as one of the biggest highlights of the night as fans returned once the festival resumed.
Stagecoach, one of the largest country music festivals in the United States, takes place every year at the same location as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and regularly draws tens of thousands of fans.
