Former video vixen Karrine Steffans says Drake is Lil Wayne ghostwriter as she was speaking with DJ Vlad..
She revealed that the Canadian helped his label boss to diversify his lyrics and flow, and actually ghostwrote for him.
Steffans recalled hanging out in the studio with Weezy and him playing her something Drizzy had written for him. She explained that Wayne was very honest about it and admitted that he asked his signee to break down his own rap style for him.
"Drake not only wrote, I'm sure, his own stuff, to a degree… but I know that he was writing stuff for Wayne, as well. Because Wayne was looking to change something. I know that he was rewriting things. Wayne told me he was teaching him how to tell better stories, how to ride the beat differently," Steffans said. "I was in the studio with Wayne listening to something that Drake had written 'cause Wayne can't write like that. He'll be honest about it. He only writes a certain way."
In the light of the ghostwriting controversy surrounding Drake and his beef with Meek Mill, Steffans also claimed that basically everyone in the industry, especially the pop singers, are using assistance when it comes to their lyrics.
"Everyone has reference tracks," she added. "An artist will write something, leave it 'cause he doesn't have time, go do something else, come back in a day or two and someone's laid down the reference track to show them how that song can fit on top of that beat. Then, they go in there and they do it their own way, little better, put their twist on it, but no man is an island. It takes a village to create an album."
