• Funk Flex Has More Drake Reference Tracks from Ghostwriter Quentin Miller

    Quentin Miller's recent tumblr post, in which he denies that he ghostwrites for Drake isn't good enough for Funk Flex, who leaked the first "10 Bands" "reference track." Now Flex says he's gotten his hands on more of Miller's reference tracks that supposedly inspired Drake's If You're Reading This Its Too Late. The HOT 97 DJ does not want to let Drizzy off the hook.

  • Noah "40" Shebib Defends Drake Against Meek Mill Ghostwriter Accusations

    The controversy over whether or not Drake writes his own raps has sparked a debate across hip-hop about the use of ghostwriters and songwriters in general within the genre. Artists have weighed in on both sides of the argument, most notably Meek Mill who kicked off the debate in addition to OG Maco, Rick Ross and others.

    Once again, OG Maco is back causing a stir on Twitter -- this time, by chiming in on Meek Mill vs. Drake, which is already being crowned the "Twitter Beef of 2015" (and we haven't even heard from Drizzy).

Soon, OVO producer Boi-1da got involved, and, "U Guessed It," they had a nice little back-and-forth. It's been a good day on Rap Twitter.

    The hip-hop world has been turned on its head when Meek Mill seemingly out of nowhere called out Drake for allegedly having people write his raps. The fallout has been seen all across the twitterverse and throughout the hip-hop community and even spilled over into politics. One Toronto city councillor, possibly just looking to take the populist approach and get a few headlines for his poll numbers, told Meek Mill that he was no longer allowed up in Toronto. Mill got word of his potential ban to the Canadian city and fired back at the Toronto government official citing his free speech.

    Twitter hasn't been short on beefs for 2015, but this week has blown up the social media service as Meek Mill has called out Drake for allegedly using a ghostwriter, and Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift have gone back and forth about VMA nominations and body shape.

Here are five other digital battles that have gone down during 2015 thus far, including One Direction, Iggy Azalea and...believe it or not... not Azealia Banks (we take her tweets for granted anymore).
