Puff Daddy has no reservations admitting that he frequently uses ghostwriters.
“I feel like as an artist, your allegiance is also to the record, making the best record you can,” Diddy says in an interview with “The Breakfast Club” published yesterday (August 17). “Sometimes you can be in the room with somebody who has a better idea than you and you gotta be open to that.”
XXL curated a list of “22 Rappers Who Have Ghostwritten for Diddy” in light of his comments.
50 Cent allegedly ghostwrote songs on 1999’s Forever. The G-Unit rapper sent a case of Effen vodka during the interview with the radio station. 50 Cent often jabs at Diddy over various topics.
Two Diddy Dirty Money songs were ghostwritten for the Bad Boy boss. “I’m Coming Home” was penned by J. Cole and “Yesterday” featuring Chris Brown was written by Drake.
Puff said in “The Breakfast Club” interview that he reached out to Drake to ghostwrite another song for him, which instead turned into “0-100.” The two reportedly brawled last year over the track, though in “The Breakfast Club” interview, Diddy denies having any problems with the Toronto rapper.
The Game wrote “We Gon’ Make It” from 2006’s Press Play.

None of these people are ghostwriters. They were all properly acknowledged and credited at the time of release. Puffy never once claimed to be a lyricist. Tired of the disingenuous BS. Drake was playing big man with the new record acting like he was King of the Bars making people think it was all his work when dudes were writing whole verses and tracks for him. He got caught out when Meek exposed him – thats why Drake went so hard on Back to Back and OVO fest.
Cut the fkn bs. The same people saying it doesn’t matter who wrote what since Drake got burned by Meek are the same ones claiming Em’s the greatest because of his prodigious writing skills. Make up your fkn mind and stop trying to muddy the waters with misinformation.
To be honest, Meek did nothing to expose that “whole verses and tracks” were being written for Drake. That’s really why Meek lost.
If you’re trying to fair and trying cut the BS then you can’t read misinformation about Drake.
Until you find the “reference” tracks for Illmatic or All Eyez On Me accept the L and miss me with the fanboy bs.
