If drake took the kanye route and let it be known he has writers ppl wouldn't be so hard on him. The issue is, he went for the greatest rapper ever title knowing he has ppl writing entire verses and songs for him.
He been studying hip hop music his whole life and is fully aware of how unethical it is and still tried to pull a fast one. Think about all the times he hasn't been caught loll we can go all da way back to him freestyling off a phone which was never done before at the time.
So no, i don't know if he wrote this for Alicia keys because he charged Meek the Drake Price for a verse, and had Quentin Miller write it for like 1000 bucks without telling him lolll. He knew that shyt was foul and thats why he was willin to squash it with him.
Future also said him and Drake were rarely if ever in the studio together and everything was sent thru email lol You cant put nothing pass this dude
