Drake Ghostwriter Scandal 2014: Unpaid Mystery Woman Sues '0 to 100' Rapper for Millions
Drake has famously been labeled as a "sensitive rapper" for quite a while now with his emotional lyrics and mellow instrumentals. However, a ghostwriter behind his feminine qualities has come forward, suing him for millions.
According to MediaTakeout, the 27-year-old emcee initially hired a songwriter from his hometown to secretly pen several hits off his three chart-topping major label albums so far: "A Toronto woman is claiming to have ghost written a lot of hip hop superstar Drake's biggest tracks - at least 'sensitive' ones."
The "Started from the Bottom" hitmaker apparently stopped paying the unidentified woman behind his music properly, so she is now seeking full compensation as well as recognition for her work.
"Drake has been using a Toronto woman to help him write his songs for the past three years. MTO's snitch tells us that problems ensued, when Drake didn't pay her properly," the website reads. "Now she plans on filing a multi-million dollar lawsuit and seeks to prevent him for performing multiple songs from 'Take Care,' 'Thank Me Later' and 'Nothing Was the Same.'"
"[The alleged ghostwriter] kept her mouth shut but the slander got out of hand and now she's demanding a big payoff... [Drake's] friends started sh*t talking her," the source continued.
Moreover, the ghostwriter plans to hire an infamous civil rights lawyer, who is known for taking high-profile and controversial cases. "She's hiring Gloria Allred's law firm," the source added.
Drake previously shared how he feels about his "sensitive" image. "I'm so sick of people saying that I'm like lonely and emotional, and associating me with this like longing for a woman," he told BET. "I hate that, it bothers me so much... 'cause I do make music that makes you feel something, but I'm actually not that guy in real life, I'm happy... I'm very excited, my life is constantly exciting it's not some sad depressing story."
"As far as the soundscapes go, that's just the music that I chose to make, I make music strictly for the purpose of driving at nighttime," he added.
