AceShowbiz - Amid rumors that Drake has someone else write his raps, Karrine Steffans claims that the rapper once ghostwrote for her ex Lil Wayne. Steffans, who dated the Young Money leader on-and-off for years in the past, made the revelation in an interview with Vlad TV.
She recalled that she was in the studio with Wayne when the rapper told her himself that Drizzy helped him write a verse. "Wayne told me that Drake had written some things for him," she said. "I was in the studio with Wayne listening to something that Drake had written 'cause Wayne can't write like that. He'll be honest about it. He only writes a certain way."
Steffans then commented on reference tracks of Drake's alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller performing some of the Toronto native's songs. The tracks were leaked by Funkmaster Flex a few weeks ago after Meek Mill openly accused Drake of not rapping his own bars.
"Everyone has reference tracks," she said. "An artist will write something, leave it 'cause he doesn't have time, go do something else, come back in a day or two and someone's laid down the reference track to show them how that song can fit on top of that beat. Then, they go in there and they do it their own way, little better, put their twist on it, but no man is an island. It takes a village to create an album."
Steffans said that when she was in the studio with her ex, she never heard a reference track for the material Drake supposedly wrote for Wayne. However, she was told that Drake helped Tunechi with his storytelling.
"He was very honest, he says, 'I don't write that way. I don't know how,' " Steffans explained. "So Drake was just kinda showing him how to take his ideas and turn them into a story and to make that story come back around. That's a skill. That's a storytelling skill. Not everybody can do that."
