In an interview with The Fader, Drake recently criticized Meek and Meek's whole team on how they handled the lyrical battle, saying, "You guys didn't think this through at all-nobody? You guys have high-ranking members watching over you. Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something? You're gonna engage in a conversation about writing music, and delivering music, with me? And not have anything to put forth on the table?" The interview had the tone of a post-game wrap-up.
