Meek Mill Fesses Up About Why He Didn’t Respond To Drake’s “Back To Back”

    The feud between Meek Mill and Drake may have hit the internet with the swiftness last year, but according to Meek, the fallout with Drake began long before he came for the Canadian MC’s jugular on Twitter.

    In addition to Drake providing no push for Meek’s “R.I.C.O.” record, which he appeared on, the Philly rapper revealed that the Young Money MC made him look like “a fraud” when he didn’t fulfill his promise to attend Meek’s hometown concert.

    “I just be saying what I really feel. It wasn’t the first time I said that,” Meek Mill said about his ghostwriting claims against Drake. “And we kinda had a relationship … I ain’t seen him since I came home. I probably was home for a year. You know, me and Nicki’s situation, boom. I ain’t ran into you yet … My shit dropped. He was on my shit. I kinda really pressed for that verse. And it really came from Trav. Trav was like ‘Yo, cuz. You gotta kill all that feeling. This, that, and the third about this nigga. And handle business.’ You right. We do need that. And we got that. But at the same time, my shit was coming out like a week later. It wasn’t nothing.

    “Everything was kinda different,” he added. “I had a show in Philly. He was supposed to come to my show. They said they ain’t know about it. This an arena with 30,000 people. And this something you ain’t know about? I had that shit set up for four months.”

    Later in his interview with Taxstone, Meek shared the reason why he didn’t respond to Drake’s “Back To Back,” which he felt was “a hot record,” and also explained why he was hesitant about responding to The Game’s disses.

    “I was on tour at this time when all that shit was going on,” the rapper said. “‘Back To Back.’ And when I record, I don’t really record like that. And I always move at my time. Even with Game, I wasn’t even gon’ make no diss record. But Omelly FaceTimed me in the studio with Beans. They said ‘come through.’ I just pulled up. If you notice, I’m on the third verse. I wouldn’t have no diss records towards a nigga dissing me. And I’m on the third verse.”

    1. Just crossed “listen to Meek Mill ramble on for nearly two hours” off the bucket list. – said no one, ever.

      Fuck your feelings Meek, how about you switch up your style, man up, quit being a bitch with your self entitlement, and keep social media to a minimum.

    2. Meek everybody knows you DID respond with the worst diss track ever called “wanna know.” He trying to make y’all forget about that shit! #neverforget lmao

      1. Drake dickriders are the dumbest bunch. He never said he didnt respond, he said the track was hot and the quality of the diss wasn’t worth responding too.

    3. he claims he wasn’t about to make a diss and uses the third verse? Like people wouldn’t know you can move verses around?? and you at the beginning and every little interlude of the song talking S***.. and it was your diss track stupid.. that wasn’t omelly feat. meek and beans this dude is a strait clown

      1. Very fitting name. Those first few verses were recorded before the song dropped, there was footage of it being saved for potential songs on DC4. The rest was a freestyle because Omelly and Beans egged him on to respond to Game. Can you read?

      2. No straight clowns are people who leave comments in the third person like the perperson they talking about is going on read it. lol

    4. Haha you basically just told the world you don’t care if people diss you bury you end you .. I just keep it moving please Meeky Mouse career over !

      1. Yeah, I think your comment hits the nail (so I’m just going to disregard the lame OVO shit). When rappers say they don’t want beef yet rap all the time about pulling up on niggas and bringing shit to the table, makes it seem like it’s too fake.

      2. I dont know why HHDX didnt quote it correctly. He actually said that he thought the record was hot, but it wack ass dissed. and honestly, it was wack as shit. Drakes little groupies and dick riders loved it, but in terms of dissing, that shit was weak.

        I still think Meek is wack as hell, but drakes diss was weak from any way you look at it.

      3. Why is he going to care about beef, it’s 2016, Your boy Drake even got killed in a rap diss beef with Budden and it did nothing to him. Meek even said in the interview that beef actually got him MORE fans. He’s worth millions and has his dream chick. What are you doing again with your life? Believing fairy tale stories from a has been rapper/stripper who promoted his album through Meek and flopped so bad on sales, he couldn’t wait to go see Ross to squash his beef with meek? LMAO

    5. MEEKA DISS TRACK FOR BACK TO BACK WAS WANNA KNEW EVERYBODY NO THAT SHIT WHO IS HE TRYING TO FOOL AND THAT SHIT WAS SO FUCKIN BEYOND GARBAGE OFFICER RICKY DA PRISON POLICE CO/FAKE DRUG DEALER REALLY FUCKED THIS GUYS HEAD UP

    6. diss tracks are part of the business of a rapper imo plus for the meme he had plenty of time and thats no business, lame excuse imo

    7. Hate o u want.. meek a winner in life.. beef brought him more attention n money so the more u hate the richer n popular he gets.. he a millionaire with the richest rap chick rap has ever seen.. plus he makes dope music, maybe not y’all preference but some v us love it.. I Dont n can’t listen to drake records but I ain’t out here dissin the degrassi kid for being soft o sum… let it go yall, we ain’t on there level.. u seen how Dc4 was burning up the net? that means the guys has fans a lot v em at that so u wastin yo time n energy being haters!!! get 9 to 5’s o sum coz hatin Dont pay…

    8. 4million streams on the first day Dc4 dropped.. Men lie, women lie numbers Dont!!! The young bull has a following, getin bigger with the hate… Dc4 is dope esp with the mumble rap out these days.. it has pain, struggle n the glory… real ninjas can relate!! Haters will find any excuse to hate but hate Dont change nothing.. Nicki, rolexes, wraiths etc.. you should b worried bout how people r starting to move away from drake after dissing ‘Depression’..

      1. aint nobody moving away from drake for that shit peeps applauded it. It was about time Drake went hard with personal blows and Cudi “supposed depression” got clowned by Lupe and Big Sean. so nobody leaving drake. 4 million stream is not much at all first day compared to a lot of bigger artist but meek album was just for the streets no one else really.

    9. But you was in a beef n you was the third one on the track…. if that was ur feelings then y didnt u go 1st when all yal was in the studio together!!! Lame fucking excuses that dont make sense.

      1. watch the interview b4 u say sum u know nothing bout.. he wasn’t even at the studio with bean n omelly.. they had already recorded b4 meek came in… u just sound stupid n ignorant!!! #getyofactsright

        1. Dumbass its even quoted!!! He was there, they even took a pic together… its 2016 they could had edited to make him 1st or rerecorded so he is 1st or better yet handle it by himself like game did!

    10. I think you typed something wrong. Can you check it? Feds showed up at my door. Is that supposed to happen? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Oh… and time is a factor. 😉

    11. meeka may make a comeback but that singing dude exposed him. if he loses nikki to young MA he should probably call it a done deal as far as this music go
