Lil Wayne’s Son Claims Father Wrote Most of Drake’s Music

Lil Novi, the 15-year-old son of Lil Wayne, sparked controversy by claiming that his father wrote most of Drake's music, asserting that without Lil Wayne, Drake wouldn't have reached his current level of success. This statement reignited longstanding rumors about Drake using ghostwriters and led to divided reactions among fans and critics, with many doubting the claim due to the distinct styles of the two artists and the lack of supporting evidence. Lil Novi's comments came during a livestream interview where he was asked to choose the better artist between Lil Wayne and Drake, to which he gave a confident but unsubstantiated answer. Despite the backlash, some acknowledged Lil Wayne's significant influence on Drake early in his career, as Lil Wayne signed Drake to Young Money Entertainment in 2009 and collaborated with him on numerous tracks. Drake himself has consistently maintained his songwriting credibility and has publicly shown respect for Lil Wayne as a mentor, including getting a tattoo of Wayne's face. The debate continues to fuel discussions about authorship and influence in hip-hop, especially given Lil Novi's insider perspective as both an artist and Lil Wayne's son.
