Lil Novi, the teenage son of rapper Lil Wayne, claims that his father penned most of the Canadian rapper’s hits.
“My dad wrote most of [Drake’s] s–t,” he said to his followers via livestream. “If it wasn’t for my pops, there wouldn’t be no Drake.”
Back when Drake was a rising artist, fans noticed that he had a similar style to Wayne’s, but some assumed that Drizzy had secretly been penning Weezy’s bars after his very public fallout with Gillie Da Kid, who claimed he was once a ghostwriter for the Young Money boss.

Lil Wayne recently dropped his latest album, Carter VI, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, selling 108,000 equivalent album units.
The album has received mixed reviews, and Wayne’s daughter, Reginae Carter, was forced to defend him after a troll hopped onto her livestream and called the album “trash.”
“Tha Carter VI is trash? That’s fine, that’s what you want to say. This is what I [hate] about you kids. The fact that y’all can’t get on TikTok and do a little dance for it? That don’t mean that it’s trash, babe. OK?” she said.

“My dad was talking real s–t. It’s stuff on that album that you can hear in [NBA] 2K, in games, at f–cking malls, at all types of stuff. It’s universal, my love. Y’all need to take y’all’s minds out of the TikTok world and get to the real bag.”
