Here's a ten second recap of the Drake Vs Meek Mill beef saga. Meek Mill claims Drake doesn't write his own raps, Drake writes raps—plural—that embarrass Meek Mill, the internet follows with a trillion terabytes worth of memes to provide some institutional memory of the lyrical ass whooping. The photos you're looking at now happened to be shot the day Drake released Meek's first diss record, "Charged Up." On set at the shoot, between photos, Meek tweeted: "Baby lotion soft." The world disagreed.
In retrospect, it didn't really matter that Meek lost a rap battle. Because he still has the__girl. Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj are the power couple hip-hop's always wanted. Though they're constantly compared to Jay Z and Beyonce, Jay and Bey are more like United Nations ambassadors at this point. Where as, every day with the Meek and Nicki is the Solange elevator ride—fiery, spontaneous, unpredictable, publicist heart-attack inducing.
With tweets and money flying everywhere, we sat down with 2015's Bonnie and Clyde to silence their relationship haters once and for all.
GQ: So you guys just had a huge Twitter moment. Nicki, you tweeted about being snubbed by the VMA's. Meek you claimed Drake had a ghost writer. Both moments were controversial. Any regrets?
MM: I'm separate from that. I just wild out.
NM: And that's the thing people don't understand. Meek is a grown ass man. I may not agree with everything he says.
MM: She likes none of that ****. No matter who I'm talking to.
NM: Together, I think one of the biggest misconceptions at the beginning was that people thought that me and him just popped up out of the blue and were just in a relationship. We were friends for a very long time and he was someone that I was able to really confide in. Nothing that we do is for TV. My decision to be public about my relationship came before I even met Meek. I was in another relationship and I said after I drop my third album that I don't care anymore what people think, I'm going to be vocal about who I'm with. It just so happens that I'm with a new guy.
