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.”
Sienna Spiro has revealed that she struggled with deep insecurities about her body while growing up and often wore baggy clothing to cover herself when she began sharing her music.
The Die on this Hill singer says her father introduced her to legendary stars such as Barbra Streisand and Ava Gardner, whose glamorous style inspired her to picture a more confident side of herself.
She said trying out her now recognizable hairstyle became a major moment for her, explaining to Variety: “The first time I experimented with the hair, I felt like a more polished and powerful version of myself.” Her stage look helps her feel confident, particularly when she is tired or experiencing period pain. “There are days when changing my hair from how I normally wear it, or putting on my boots, helps me enter a different mindset and feel more self assured.”
The 20 year old artist also shared that she has experienced vocal nodules since she was young, describing them as both a positive and a negative because they create her signature raspy sound while also placing considerable pressure on her voice.
She remembered: “I did not receive an official diagnosis until two years ago, but my voice has always been incredibly raspy. I believe I may have had them for most of my life, or at least since I was very young.”
She admitted: “They can be both a gift and a struggle. I really like the character they bring to my voice, and sometimes they prevent me from reaching certain sounds, which can actually create something interesting. However, I was almost unable to speak for an entire year. The year before last, I barely talked at all. It was extremely difficult and made me feel very alone.”
Away from the stage, Sienna looks completely different without her dramatic hairstyle and high heels. She explained that adopting her performance persona often helps create some space between herself and the feelings that inspired her songs.
She said: “I do not really censor myself, which can be helpful but can also create problems. Still, honesty is the only way I know how to write, and being myself is the only way I can show up.”
“I am simply a 20 year old woman, and there are mornings when I wake up on my period and still have to get onstage and perform. Changing my everyday hairstyle or slipping into my boots allows me to become someone slightly different, giving me more confidence and some emotional distance from how I felt when those songs were written.”
She added: “High heels are not something I would ever choose to wear in my normal life.”
