The question has been raised again: does Drake use ghostwriters? This time, Toronto rapper Mo-G blasts Drake and his OVO team for not giving proper credit to those who help him in his creative process.
“Have you ever heard in the history of Hip Hop, a man gives away his creativity and helps make Billboard hits, but doesn’t get paid a dollar for it, one credit for it?” the rapper says in a video posted by DJ Akademiks. “Here he is stuck in the hood. That doesn’t make sense. But exposing these niggas will make sense. Fuck you bitch-ass niggas.”
Mo-G specifically calls out Drake’s manager, Oliver El-Khatib. He says that El-Khatib served as a middle man between his communication with the “Hotline Bling” rapper.
“Oliver’s a fucking snake-ass nigga,” he says. “Double-headed snake-ass nigga. Psychotic-looking motherfucker ass nigga. Always stirring the pot, telling me you wanted me at the music video shoot, but Drake didn’t want me to come. ‘All Drake’s friends hate you. Drake doesn’t like you.'”
In separate video posts made by DJ Akademiks on Instagram, Mo-G continues by calling El-Khatib a “shady-ass white boy” and a “culture vulture.”
“I thought we was family at OVO, but these niggas never paid me a dollar after they starved me away, trying to hide me from the world.”
Mo-G says that when he asked El-Khatib for compensation he was offered $500, which he declined.
Drake gave Mo-G a shoutout on his “Summer Sixteen” single for his forthcoming Views From the 6 album.
“Them boys they a handful / Then I hit ‘em with the Hotline / Chris Breezy with the dance moves / Mo-G with the dance moves / Ave Boy with the dance moves,” he says, referencing Mo-G’s Ave Boy projects. Genius says that a line from Mo-G’s “Still” song inspired one of Drake’s dance moves in the “Energy” video.
Last summer, Meek Mill accused Drake of using Quentin Miller as a ghostwriter for his verse on Meek Mill’s “R.I.C.O.” This ignited a feud that spawned three diss tracks between the two rappers.

“Have you ever heard in the history of Hip Hop, a man gives away his creativity and helps make Billboard hits, but doesn’t get paid a dollar for it, one credit for it?” Yeah, anyone that worked for Bad Boy in the nineties that wasn’t named Christopher Wallace.
How about anyone working for Cash Money over the last 15 years lol….how many people still suing them to recoup.
just kinda sad, this guys biggest highlight will be being called out in Drake’s Summer Sixteen. He should be grateful he was even mentioned. it all goes down from here. Bye Mo-G or whatever. Your 15 mins are done.
dem somalians be on some bipolar shit lol. wasn’t this nigga all hype about being next to drake and ovo not even 2 weeks ago? niggas don’t owe you shit lol. just cuz u get a shout out don’t mean they owe you money
You would owe me if I helped write your biggest hit of the year and you threw my out there like that’s payback. Don’t know this cat, but if he wrote that shit I feel everything he saying. Especially if it was presented a different up front and I got played in the end.
This is pretty much been obvious since day one. You ever wonder why drake has really never been consider the best hiphop artist? He’s a younger version of he’s a younger version of time Kanye without the great production skills. Bottom line is dude pays everyone to do everything and he’s just the lightskined representation of the brand. The problem is he’s not paying people correctly and getting exposed for it. Which they should be, dude is fake as it gets, no hate intended. With that being said, I like the music and what the teams doing. I am surprised this conversation has just started popping up.
Facts bro
“if he ain’t the best Hiphop artist over the past 24 months I don’t know who is” Kendrick Lamar.
He ain’t considered the best lyricist ok I’ll give you that, but if he ain’t the best Hiphop artist over the past 24 months I don’t know who is (Future may be the only one close), he sure as hell outsold your favourite artist over that time period.
“Fuck how it was in the past tense, ask yourself how do I match up now”
Sorry, before yall start hating, Kendrick as well but he’s in a whole nother category, that shit different.
Best and Popular are two, much, different things.

LMFAO why NOT pay niggas…. All the money OvO make off touring they could give this nigga $5,000 instead of throwing at a stripper. I’ma say this again… Niggas know who to pull that type of shit wit……
Anybody and I mean ANYBODY can be a rapper nowadays…. It doesn’t really take talent anymore you just gotta be MARKETABLE. They will fill in the blanks…
The day Drake actually battle raps someone will be the day I actually listen to his music
More ghostwriters drake?
mo-g never said anything about ghost writting…
this really has nothing to do with drake…..just his manager. drizzy gave dude shoutouts and played his music on ovo radio. worldwide exposure is worth more than $500 mo.
You aint write it nigga we caught ya/cant erase that shit!!!
You can call anybody in mainstream hip hop a culture vulture because hip hop wasn’t designed to be monetized.
Uhhh Kool Herc spun to get paid, says Kool Herc…..
Why’s Drake throwing up the fruitiest gang sign of all time in that video still?
Calling someone or something “fruity” is the sign of someone who takes it in the rear.
The Six isn’t a gang fool.
It’s still fruity as fuck.
is a canadian calling another canadian a culture vulture over an american music genre? got to be a southpark spooh you cant make this shit up
America does not own the hip hop genre you jackass
no we dont but we damn sure started it here in NY. so for a person outside this country to call someone outside the country a culture vulture for doing a sport that was not originated in their country for money is the definition IMO
rap never started as an american culture thing.. it gathered influence from Jamaica and “began” in NY but has always been a form of expression for the oppressed. if you live in impoverished circumstances, you can express hip hop.
No that is wrong. Hip-hop was 100% an American thing. It was African-Americans who used hiphop as an outlet to express themselves.
DJ Kool Herc was Jamaican immigrant to New York. He is widely credited as the creator of hip-hop.

Drake’s gotta be careful cuz the tide is turning…
You aint write it nigga we caught ya/cant erase that shit!!!
Damn so Drake’s gonna slide on another ghostwriter issue just cuz we can conveniently call the white boy a culture vulture? Drake’s the culture vulture

Bunch of little school girls in the game nowadays.

another example of fake drake using others for material, jacking their shit, passing it off as his own and not giving any credit to the real artist. THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH, #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK
Drake has fallen off hard ever since Tyga had the balls to call him out as a corny fake.
6 FRAUD!!!!
You guys are some bigtime haters !! what about kanye with desiigner travis etc ?? nobody gives a shit…
When youre at the top people wanna see you fail
And mo-g gave a dance move and he wants a Milly for it ???
and akedemics you the biggest drake hater on the low hahaha
I think Oliver El-Khatib is HOT! This man is winning business awards in 2020. Maybe a little psychotic looking.. but it takes one to know one. Similarly, there was an instance people thought “maybe” these men were singing about me. My business blew up to unmanageable proportions, I’d say worth much more than $500 worth. Let’s try and think outside the box on this issue.
