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.”
Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.
The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.
A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.
She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.
The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.
“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”
Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”
She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
