Drake’s longtime producer Noah “40” Shebib has now joined the chorus of those reacting to Meek Mill’s claims that Drake does not write his own lyrics. 40 has been with Drake for almost a decade now, well before So Far Gone, and has also been instrumental in the crafting of the OVO sound. In his Tweets, he references Quentin Miller, the man Meek Mill pointed to as Drake’s writer/ghostwriter and Shebib notes that Miller is explicitly credited on If Youre Reading This Its Too Late.
He also admits to working in the studio with Miller. But, while he admits to working with him, he also states that “no one is as talented as Drake.” And, that he’s worked with Toronto emcee for over 5000 hours while he’s only been in the studio with Quentin for about 30 minutes. You can read in full what he had to say below.
