Senseless Violence Strikes The Music Industry Again As Rapper Mo-G Beaten Up By Drake's Entourage Over Ghostwriting Claims

There is a problem with violence in the music industry. People have been beaten, shot and in some cases killed by industry rivals. Recently, Toronto rapper, Mo-G posted videos on Instagram stating Drake and his collective OVO were asking him for music and paying him very little money. Shortly after, Mo-G deleted the videos and posted a photo of his face beaten bloody with the caption "This is what happens when you speak your heart." The implication online is Drake's entourage beat up Mo-G up.

Previously, Quentin Miller, was outed as Drake's ghostwriter, which turned into a bitter public dispute with rival rapper, Meek Mill. In 2014, two groupies from Instagram also accused Drake of threatening them. One of the women stated Drake sent thugs from his entourage to her apartment and they threatened her for speaking out about having sex with him. Violence and intimidation have nothing to do with music. Drake is a teen actor from a pop type show, who became a rapper. No need to try to live up to an image created in the music. It always leads to trouble.

Toronto Rapper Mo-G Beat Up After Calling Out Drake for Ghostwriting

April 1, 2016 12:58 PM - Weeks ago, Toronto rapper Mo-G posted a series of videos on Instagram talking about how Drake and his OVO crew were asking for rhymes and hooks but paying him pennies. He later deleted the videos, but that doesn’t seem like it was enough to appease some people, because today Mo-G posted a picture of his face after getting severely beaten. “This is what happens when you speak your heart,” he caption the above picture with. 

In a viral video posted to his Instagram account weeks ago, Mo-G puts Drake and his associate Oliver El-Khatib on blast, airing out what many have heard in the past: OVO uses ghostwriters. But according to Mo-G, penning hits is one thing and being compensated for his work is another. “Have you ever heard in hip-hop that mad niggas waste creativity? They make hits but never get a dollar for it, one credit for it,” he said in the videos, which have since been deleted...

Drake and Meek Mill

Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill has posted an item online indicating a truce with rival Drake, after dissing him and it spectacularly blowing up in his face. Drake has not responded. Mill's diss track "Wanna Know" accused Drake of having a ghostwriter, who sometimes receives co-writer's credit on his songs (Quentin Miller). However, sites are stating sometimes Miller's work is not credit to him, but to Drake.

Drake and Meek Mill when they were friends

PR specialists are weighing in on the rap rivalry between Toronto's Drake and Philadelphia's Meek Mill. The latter issued a song insulting Drake ("Wanna Know"). However, Drake released a barrage of music ripping Meek Mill to shreds as payment for the lyrical insults. Drake also brought rapper turned actor, Will Smith, on stage during his performance at the OVOfest and introduced him as the best rapper from Philadelphia, in another insult against Meek Mill.

While the insults continued flying, Complex magazine published an article supporting Meek Mill's claims that Drake's ghostwriter is Quentin Miller. Mill became angry that Drake used a ghostwriter on their collaboration "RICO" and outed him on it. Complex magazine has revealed Miller was not credited for writing Drake's verses on the track, indeed making him a ghostwriter.

Quentin Miller Is Actually Not Credited on "R.I.C.O."

Aug 3, 2015 - In the couple weeks since Meek Mill accused Drake of employing a ghostwriter, Quentin Miller, to write the Toronto superstar's rap verses, Miller and OVO producer Noah "40" Shebib have publicly insisted that Miller is a co-writer, not a ghostwriter, since Miller is officially credited for his songwriting contributions in the liner notes of Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late. In a Tumblr post dated July 24, Miller claimed, "I am not and never will be a 'ghostwriter' for drake."

Much of the news coverage that's advanced this narrative cites Genius and Wikipedia as corroboration of Miller and 40's claims. Both Genius and Wikipedia are user-edited platforms, however, and are not official, definitive sources of information. The inattention to actual liner notes of Meek Mill's Dreams Worth More Than Money, published by Atlantic Records, has sowed popular confusion regarding Quentin Miller's involvement in Drake's songwriting.

In the interest of clarification, below is a screenshot of the official liner notes that are included in the physical CD release of Meek Mill's Dreams Worth More Than Money. Despite having laid a reference track for Drake's verse on Meek's "R.I.C.O."—over the very same beat, no less—Quentin Miller is not credited for a co-writing contribution to the song. This evidence suggests that the description of Quentin Miller as a "ghostwriter" is, indeed, accurate, despite OVO's claims to the contrary. It also seems to corroborate Meek's claim that he was misled regarding the authorship of Drake's verse on "R.I.C.O." It's now unclear whether Quentin Miller has written other Drake verses for which he is uncredited...
