Karrine Steffans says that Drake ghostwrote for Lil Wayne. read and watch video after cut.
"Wayne told me that Drake had written some things for him,"
Steffans says to VladTV. "I was in the studio with Wayne listening to
something that Drake had written 'cause Wayne can't write like that. He'll be
honest about it. He only writes a certain way."
Last month, Meek Mill accused the Toronto rapper of not
writing his own raps and named Quentin Miller as Drake's ghostwriter.
Funkmaster Flex released reference tracks of Miller performing some of Drake's
songs.
"Everyone has reference tracks," Steffans says of
the situation. "An artist will write something, leave it 'cause he doesn't
have time, go do something else, come back in a day or two and someone's laid
down the reference track to show them how that song can fit on top of that
beat. Then, they go in there and they do it their own way, little better, put
their twist on it, but no man is an island. It takes a village to create an
album."
She says that when she was in the studio with Lil Wayne, she
never heard a reference track for the material Drake supposedly wrote for the
New Orleans emcee, but Wayne told her how Drake helped him with his
storytelling.
"He was very honest, he says, 'I don't write that way.
I don't know how,'" Steffans says. "So Drake was just kinda showing
him how to take his ideas and turn them into a story and to make that story come
back around. That's a skill. That's a storytelling skill. Not everybody can do
that."
