Lil Wayne has always been credited for launching Drake’s career, but now his son is stirring up conversation with a bold statement. In a recent livestream, Lil Novi, Wayne’s son, claimed his father deserves all the credit, not only for discovering Drake but also for writing much of his lyrics.
When asked to pick between his dad and Drake, Novi made his choice clear: “My dad wrote most of [Drake’s] sh*t,” he said. “If it wasn’t for my pops, there wouldn’t be no Drake.” This comment quickly caught attention, sparking debates online about whether Novi’s claim holds any truth or is just hype.
The remarks also revived memories of the ghostwriting controversy from 2015, when Meek Mill accused Drake of using Quentin Miller to write parts of If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. But Novi pushed the narrative further, insisting Lil Wayne was the creative force behind albums like Take Care and Views.
It’s important to note that Novi wasn’t even born when Drake’s breakthrough mixtape So Far Gone dropped in 2009. This fact has led many to doubt whether Novi truly knows the full story or is just seeking attention online.
Regardless, Novi’s claim adds fuel to the ongoing debate about authorship in hip-hop. Drake and Lil Wayne have shared a close working relationship for over a decade, but these comments have reignited conversations about ghostwriting and authenticity in the rap world. So far, neither Drake nor Lil Wayne has publicly addressed the statement, but fans are eager to see if this will spark a bigger discussion.
