Drake Shuts Down Idea That The Weeknd Wrote Most Of “Take Care”

    Drake is currently busy touring Australia, but that didn’t keep him from letting loose a solid clapback aimed at one unlucky fan (… again).

    On Wednesday (November 15), Drake uploaded an image to his Instagram page paying homage to his Take Care album, celebrating its sixth birthday. The photo was then re-posted on one of Complex’s Instagram profiles.

    In the comments section to Complex’s repost, one user claimed it was The Weeknd who handled most of the songwriting on Take Care.

    Creeping in the comments, Drake responded, listing the exact songs for which The Weeknd served as co-writer. According to the musician, The Weeknd only co-wrote two songs, and was a featured artist on a couple of other tracks.

    “Abel CO WROTE on Shot For Me and Practice, obviously was featured on Crew Love and The Ride and that’s it…there’s 20 songs on that album…don’t try me,” Drake wrote.

      1. so? giving another artiste your instrumental is “co-writing” last time I checked, that’s why producers are always listed as co-writers which was what The Weekend admitted he did in one of his interviews coz Drake heard few Instrumentals & said he liked them.

    1. Anybody tht knows the weekends music knows which songs he straight gave to frake*read the article where weeknd explains the whole thing*foh Aubrey*

    2. That’s funny Drake because Abel’s last name “Tesfaye” appears on AT LEAST 5 tracks on Take Care! Check the track listing… plus, the others that he didn’t receive credit for. Same old story… wish Drake would just fess up!

      1. He is clearly singing on “Crew Love” and “Ride” is a sample of his voice as the backdrop. Weeknd aint writing bars

    3. everyone know drake dont write anything himself. he salty cause the GOAT meek put his bidness out there and now everyone know aubrey a fraud.

    4. If he didn’t write anymore of those songs we know you didn’t Ni**a. Pop star. Don’t try me? Hahahahaha or what? Ain’t never did or would you do shit.

    5. man..these haters so blind. Weeknd wrote half of Take Care but his Weeknd’s own songs “Cant Feel My Face” have well-known songwriters like Max Martin all over them? Even still Shot for Me and Practice are the least popular songs on the album. Headlines, HYFR, Motto, Marvin’s Room, Lord Knows is what people were bumping…Drake introduced the world to the Weeknd and he didnt even get popular for another 4 years after. give props where props are due.

    6. Yeah don’t try the 6god! Your favorite rapper couldn’t write Bac to Bac in 4 days if his life depends on it. Or anything remotely as good all his life.

    7. the weeknd gave his songs to fake drake, he’s a bitch made pop puppet who recites songs written by others..it’s a proven fact. he’s been using writers his entire career.

    8. Weeknd said HE GAVE YOU WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HIS FIRST ALBUM. He didn’t say he wrote the whole damn thing…you don’t gotta lie to kick it dude, we know you like to draw “inspiration” from all sorts of people I mean places. Weekend didn’t need you as much as you needed him and you know it. That’s why it was your best album to date. You’re welcome.

    9. well it isn’t as if ghostwriting is a secret and neither is another artist writing another artists work. i hate ghostwriting because it means the “artist” has become lazy and won’t do the work he should ethically well do him or herself.

    10. lloking at a track list to draft ,,shit,,,but at the time you should of been looking upside ,,,not upside down…..photoshop…to cover your ghostwritting ass…ghostwritters

      1. Christmas is for the goyim. Talmudists like Drake who worship in the synagogue of satan celebrate Hanukkah instead.

    11. Nah, Drake was rapping and developing OVO before Take Care, he gave other artists a chance to be on his album. Abel being one of them. Drake blew up and weeknd bcame butthurt didn’t like seeing him become successful, left, rest is history
