Your support makes all the difference.It all started when Meek Mill tweeted that Drake “don’t write his own raps” and “the whole game know forreal”. From there on it’s been a storm of “diss” tracks, Instagram pictures and Tweets – a rap feud defined by the social media age.
After Drake dropped two tracks, rapper and Nicki Minaj boyfriend Meek Mill decided to release his own song “Wanna Know”, a track many have criticised for being much weaker than either of Drake’s.
Now, the “Hold On, We’re Going Home” singer has reacted to the song, posting a picture of himself laughing on Instagram.
While the photo remains un-captioned, everyone is presuming it aimed at the Meek Mill track.
It should also be pointed out that along with the “diss” track, Mill also released a Photoshopped picture of Drake in a wig. We’re not sure what it means but it is pretty tragic to say the least.
Recently, a former senior advisor to president Barack Obama called the feud “brilliant marketing” tweeting: “I am ambivalent on Meek Mill as a rapper, but baiting Drake into a week long feud just as his album dropped is brilliant marketing.”
