Rapper Meek Mill publicly calls out Drake for 'not writing his own raps' and Twitter explodes

First, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift were going back and forth on Twitter late Tuesday about Swift taking Minaj's comments personally about being snubbed for certain MTV Music Video Awards.

Then last night, just before midnight, Nicki Minaj's boyfriend, rapper Meek Mill, provided a big distraction from that issue.

It began with some tweets from Mill about his album sales. However, it quickly escalated into another issue that set Twitter on fire.

Shots Are Fired

Meek Mill went after Drake, claiming the latter doesn't write his own songs. Mill gained over 110,000 retweets and 80,000 favorites in the process.

Context

Drake was featured on a song called "R.I.C.O" on Mill's latest album, Dreams Are Worth More Than Money, which was released on June 29th.

Supposedly, at least in Mill's mind, Drake didn't spread the news about the new album because of this newly unveiled knowledge...

The lyrics on the guest verse, although allegedly not written by Drake himself, touched some nerves for Mill in regards to his relationship with girlfriend Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj & Drake

In Nicki Minaj's Anaconda video that came out last year (which was was just nominated for Best Female Video and Best Hip Hop Video in MTV's Music Video Awards), Minaj had some "intimate" moments with Drake. The two have had rumored romantic history as well. That seems to be another factor.

Drake's Response

Drake, who has not tweeted since July 10th, has yet to issue a response.

Rick Ross Tries To Respond

Mill is signed to Rick Ross' record label Maybach Music Group. Ross tried to offer his support, but either himself or his social media team made a big blunder.

The error was fixed, but not before it was screenshotted. It's spread since and doesn't help the PR for MMG's label.

"If I'm going down, I'm bringing everyone else with me"

Mill had no hesitancy in keeping this argument just between him and Drake, which could escelate to some further problems and drama.

Jay-Z's name was even thrown into the ring. Mill claims he would do the same to anyone who did what he claims Drake did.

Twitter Reacts

Users had a field day with the battle on Twitter, mostly taking sides with Drake.

The Rant Continues

Mill kept going on a further rant.

Temporary Ending

Despite it all, Mill seems pretty confident in his rant. We'll see what happens next.
