Meek Mill has revealed that he and Drake are quite close, despite recent rumors to the contrary.
In an interview with SiriusXM Hip Hop Nation which fell on Saturday (September 30), Dreams and nightmares The rapper said he and the Toronto native have a relationship where they can say anything to each other without fear of reprisal.
“Drake and I talk to each other a lot,” Meek said. “Someone said Drake’s ‘Slime You Out’ was corny.” I wrote to him. I said, “I don’t think ‘Slime You Out’ is corny, and I would tell you if I thought it was corny.” I just don’t think the song was corny. … But now the Internet is such that we can be cruel.”
He continued: “If he thinks my song is corny, he can tell me so. We’ve never been to a place like this before beef. And now we’ve gotten to a place where we can write to each other and say whatever we want… We have that honesty where we can leave it on the table and walk away feeling good about it. But before beef, we didn’t have that.”

“You see who I came here with, right? I will always keep this hundred with me,” he told the crowd. “Last time I was in this building, this man right here, he’s been representing this city since he started doing this shit.
“The man, me and him didn’t get along at the time, and he’s a real nigga, so he definitely got us out of Philly real quick. We didn’t get to stay and relax. And like I said, I’m a real nigga, so I’ll tell you the truth.”
