This escalated pretty quickly...
"I took a break from feuds, now it's back to that," Drake raps on "Back to Back," the rapper's latest offering in his highly public conflict with Nicki Minaj's boyfriend, rapper Meek Mill. Drake's first diss track, "Charged Up," streamed on his Apple Music Beats 1 OVO Radio Show, just a couple days earlier.
With no end in sight, it might be helpful to get some context for what started the bad blood between the two parties. So, let's start from the bottom and keep going until we're here.
t may have been snubbed for an MTV VMA Video of the Year nomination, but when Nicki's video dropped, it was all we were talking about. And one big element of the video (apart from all the derrière) was Nicki's epic lap dance on Drake.
You might remember it as the one that left him like this:
That is not the face of a Drake that "don't want none." Still, it's a music video, and Nicki and Drake's mutual admiration and friendship goes way back. (Drake and Nicki even have a song called "I'm So Proud of You" where they gush about each other.) So where does Meek come into the picture?

Well, that didn't last long!
"Stop comparing Drake to me too.... He don't write his own raps!" Meek tweeted. "That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out! He ain't even write that verse on my album and if I woulda knew I woulda took it off my album..... I don't trick my fans!"
The rant went viral, with many people poking fun at Meek on social media over the incident. For the record, Drake's rumored "ghostwriter," Quentin Miller, admits they've collaborated, but denies writing rhymes for Drake.
Meek would go on to apologize to Nicki during a show, saying, "I wanna give a special apology shout-out to Nicki Minaj for my crazy ass going crazy on Twitter."
