See, for me, the way Drake handled the allegations was a big red flag. Dude didn't come out and play down the extend of his utilization of ghostwriters, he just ignored it and hoped it would go away. That was real funny to me, and points to the probability of more deception than was exposed, especially with all the other allegations and industry rep this dude has. If someone says you're taking steroids and you know you're clean, you say "Test me then." Ignoring and sidestepping is what guilty people do. But the bigger issue is that this dude is apparently ok with having people create whole flows and hooks for him, as long as they've been given writing credits. So we can only assume that throughout his catalog, any time we see another person on the writing credits, they're doing about half the work. That's a big no-no. Especially coming from a guy who was priding himself on his pen. I understand if you can compartmentalize the music and the artist, but I have trouble doing that. Just feels like a big, absurd joke now, especially with how boastful he is.
Also, QM was never credited on RICO btw.
