Well Pusha had dropped Infrared and Drake had dropped Duppy.
And then Nicki had tweeted.
It was like a moment of frustration a little bit because it was just like
"Damn, here it goes again," of my name being brought up.
But not for the conversation I want it to be brought up with.
It’s just like kinda just being thrown around as a pawn.
I woke up the next day like let me just put this down.
I named it ‘Destiny (Freestyle)’ because I felt like especially at that moment, it
was a good time to kinda take my own destiny into my own hands.
I just kind of wanted my voice to be heard without my name just being thrown around.
Well shit, since people are saying my name, let me just at least say my side.
You know, so people can know that I’m a person too.
I think people just heard my name and thought, “Ghostwriter. Ghostwriter."
But it’s like whoa.
A whole life over here.
That’s the real life that’s going on.
I got kids, you know?
They don’t care that I’m with Genius.
When I come back, they want popsicles.
In the car.
Which is a big mistake.
There’s no point in pressing the button because karma will get you.
Karma got me.
You know?
Karma will get anybody.
I got one leg.
Karma’s out here.
You’re speaking something into existence.
Because that’s not how I felt when I made it.
I didn’t feel like my destiny was in my hands.
And I feel like it’s coming into fruition.
I was getting calls from people that I hadn’t spoke to in centuries with tons of advice.
“Oh man, you need to move.”
“You need to do this.”
Which you know, I appreciate all the advice, but some of y’all, I hadn’t talked to
y’all in ages.
I don’t even know how you still had my phone number.
The Barbs kinda took it as a diss and they were like in my comments and stuff.
But it actually wasn’t a diss.
It was actually just like, “Man you don’t even know me."
"Like if you knew me, then you wouldn’t use my name like that either.”
‘Cause I’m not a bad guy.
The Barbs yo.
Y’all are serious.
Listen.
I fuck with Nicki.
Shout out to Pusha T man.
He’s a real one.
When he dropped the project, I hit him and I was like, “Yo I’m super conflicted ‘cause
As a Pusha T fan, I got exactly what I want from this project.”
But as Quentin Miller, it’s just like, “Man you kinda brought me back into the same narrative.”
With the next diss song, which I don’t have nothing to do with, he started off ghostwriting aside.
And then that night, he called me.
And was like, “Yo I really wanted to make sure you heard that."
"You know, heard that I wanted to switch the narrative up.”
And you know, he’s been bigging me up.
I was just trying to show just how weird it is just like how that one story is the only
story that’s with me.
Man I lost a leg the next year.
I had so much other things than just that whole Meek/Drake ghostwriting thing that I
had to deal with.
I put out so much music.
Done so much.
Worked with so many people since that.
Here we are in ‘18 and I’m still “the ghostwriter.”
Drake is definitely one of my favorite rappers.
We worked on a few songs.
It’s just the way that it got out there.
You know, people are like, “Oh he wrote everything.”
It’s a big difference between wrote for and collaborated.
Despite how people may perceive things, they weren’t in those studios with us and having
those conversations and building with us.
Like they don’t know what it was like.
Me and OVO…
We’re on good terms.
We’re always gonna be on good terms.
I mean, at the end of the day, they changed my life.
I could never repay them for that.
This was the second time that I had been through like
the whole little hype of being involved with a Drake beef.
This time, I was like really arms folded this time.
I had been through it.
I done seen the people come to my page for a second just to see if I’ma say something juicy.
And then they walk away.
And then I got my real fans back.
I was ready for that.
I guess that kinda was the meaning.
But originally, I just wanted to finish the verse.
