These were the psyching words by his then girlfriend, tennis superstar Serena Williams, that fueled the hit diss track “Back 2 Back” by the Canadian superstar Drake. It has now emerged, with Drake himself confirming that indeed his ex-girfriend, Serena played a crucial role in the creation and successful completion of the diss track aimed at hip-hop artiste Meek Mill.
The beef that was sparked by Meek back in 2015 when he famously twitted suggesting that Drake does not actually write his own lines. As the superstar pair came together to work on a Collaboratory track from Meeks album titled “R.I.C.O”, Meek appeared to suggest that Drake hired a ghostwriter to facilitate Drakes lines in the track.
Serena came through for Drake
His ex-girlfriend Serena sort to chip in with some support for her then husband Drake by providing him with the necessary motivation he needed to respond to Meeks audacious attack. He consequently completed the diss track and named it “Back 2 Back” which was as exciting as it was scathing. With savage lines like, “…Trigger fingers, turned to twitter fingers. This for y’all to think that I don’t write enough”, Drake clearly got the inspiration to make an equally audacious response to Meeks attacks.
The beef had the two superstars engaged in a bitter back and forth and in some instances spilling over to the large fan-base that the two separately enjoy. They would eventually put it all behind them and buried the hatchet ending the intriguing beef. Their make-up yielded success with Drake featuring on Meek’s track “Going Bad” released January of 2019. The track represented a healing between the two adored artistes and has so far proven that they can work effectively together to keep the entertainment industry as enjoyable as ever.
Drake and Meek’s admissions
This admission by Drake of Serena’s involvement in the diss track put to rest the widely mongered rumor that pointed the finger at Nicki Minaj, who was Meeks fiancé at the time, for being the source of the bitter rivalry. This is owing to the fact that Drake and Nicki have known each other intimately for a long time and subsequently the thought that they could have been involved romantically was not too far-fetched an opinion.
Meek in his own admission as well indicated that he wasn’t even sure in retrospect what informed his decision to initiate the beef. He pointed out that he was well aware of the relationship between Nicky and Drake and was in no way threatened by the relationship.
This would be some much welcome news to the pairs’ fans who passionately listen to the enjoyable music these two have to offer.
