Lil Wayne's Son Claims Rapper Ghostwrote 'Most' Of Drake's Music: 'On God'
Lil Novi, son of Lil Wayne, is claiming that his father ghostwrote the majority of Drake's music.
The young artist, 15, made the claim after being asked to choose between his pops and Drizzy as artists during a livestream session. While choosing his father was expected, his reasoning took many aback.
'My dad wrote most of his sh*t. On God. If it wasn't for my pops then it wouldn't be no Drake, for real, for real. I mean, it probably would be a Drake, but he wouldn't be where he at now.'
He followed up with, 'No disrespect to Drake. He hard now, but I'm saying… Come on, man. That's not a question.' See the quick clip below.
The statement spawned reactions from both Drake fans and critics, with critics highlighting past accusations of the Toronto MC using a ghostwriter. Most, however, dismissed the claim, conceding that as label mates they've likely written together, while doubting Wayne's pen is behind over a decade of Drake hits.
'Super cap, most of Drakes music has substance. Lil Wayne just be rapping bars. Lil Wayne was also exposed for having a ghost writer after falling out, and his music drastically changed,' wrote one supporter via X, with another adding, 'Let's just make this make sense how does his dad write most of Drake sh*t when he doesn't write his own sh*t the majority of Lil Wayne songs are off the top of the dome. He doesn't even know how his dad makes his music.'
Lil Wayne signed Drake to his Young Money Entertainment record label in 2009.
Born Neal Carter, Lil Novi — whom Wayne shares with singer Nivea — previously stirred the Hip-Hop pot when he declared Playboi Carti to be the greatest rapper of all time — aside from his father, of course.
'Obviously, my dad,' Lil Novi said when asked who is the GOAT. 'But for me, I'd say like because Carti is like the Wayne now. So yeah, Carti.'
