After days of anticipation, Nicki Minajâs boyfriend Meek Mill finally released his Drake diss song, âWanna Know,â on Thursday night. He couldâve used several more days to tinker with it.
To recap the events here, Drake gave us two Meek Mill diss tracks within days of each otherâthe mildly effective yawn fest âCharged Upâ and the much more damaging âBack to Back,â in which Drake pricks away at Meekâs ego with lines like, âIs that a world tour, or your girlâs tour?â This is of course in reference to Meekâs cameos in his woman Nicki Minajâs Pinkprint Tour. And oh god, theyâre fighting because Drake failed to tweet about Meekâs album.
DJ Funk Flex premiered Meek Millâs âWanna Knowâ on New Yorkâs Hot 97 and, well, the song has been heretofore rejected on account of mediocrity.
Of note: âWanna Knowâ has snippets of an alleged reference track that features Drakeâs alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller singing the hook to Drakeâs âKnow Yourself.â This would matter a lot more if people cared a lick anymore about rappers using ghostwriters, especially for hooks, which are known to be a collaborative effort.
Meek raps, âI just wanna know, if you ainât write that ârunning through the sixâ shit/ Tell us who the fuck Quentin out here running through the six with?â

The song is all over the place, but it does feature some wonderful well-placed adlibs from adlib king Sean Puffy Combs. Thereâs also a mysterious line at the end about Drake or someone being peed on in a movie theater. Please elaborate on this, Meek?
Yes, that artwork is Drake as Milli Vanilli.
Drakeâs response to this song is a hearty chuckle.

A word of advice to Meek for his next Drake diss (because this will likely go on since Drakeâs OVO Fest is this weekend). Drakeâs main leverage here is your loving relationship with Nicki Minaj, a woman whoâs much more powerful than you, which for ridiculous reasons is seen as a weakness. How about responding with a bunch of tough pro-feminist raps about not being threatened by Nickiâs infinite greatness and rap about wage equality, etc. etc.
You should really mean it, though. Break down to Drake why he might benefit from finding real love in his life. Cite some of Drakeâs past lyrics about meaningless hookups and maybe include the fact that Rihanna had Drake eating out her palms and probably everything else.

As disappointing as Meekâs diss effort was, the resulting social media reactions were well worth it.
