Lil Wayne's son sparks Drake lyric debate

This revelation has reignited discussions about authorship and originality in the rap world, a topic that has long been a subject of scrutiny.

For years, Wayne has been credited as the catalyst for Drake's illustrious career, but now, his son argues that the accolades should extend further to creative contributions.

“My dad wrote most of Drake's sh*t,” Novi declared confidently when posed with the prompt to choose between his father and the Canadian rap superstar. “If it wasn't for my pops, there wouldn't be no Drake.”

These provocative comments have quickly gained traction online, leading fans and experts alike to debate their validity.

Some recall the ghostwriting controversy that broke open in 2015, when Meek Mill accused Drake of using ghostwriter Quentin Miller on parts of his acclaimed mixtape, If You're Reading This It's Too Late.
