Today was the six-year anniversary of Drake's Take Care and to celebrate the anniversary of the album, Drake posted a photo of the project's original tracklist on Instagram. The photo was reposted by media outlets and fans all over and, of course, many showed Drake plenty of love. But there will always be those few that will want to hate.
One Instagram user decided to take a jab at Drake by saying Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, wrote most of Take Care. Drake wasn't feeling the hate so he responded:
"Abel Tesfaye CO WROTE on 'Shot For Me' and 'Practice,' obviously was featured on 'Crew Love' and 'The Ride' and that’s it," Drake replied to @meechie____. "There’s 20 songs on that album … don’t try me."
This isn't the first time that this topic has come up. Back in 2013, during an interview, The Weeknd claimed that a number of tracks he intended for House of Balloons were placed on Take Care.
Rumors that Drake has used ghostwriters have been circulating for a few years. Drake addressed those ghostwriting accusations in a 2015 interview with Fader:
"I need, sometimes, individuals to spark an idea so that I can take off running. I don’t mind that. And those recordings—they are what they are. And you can use your own judgment on what they mean to you. There’s not necessarily a context to them. And I don’t know if I’m really here to even clarify it for you.
f I have to be the vessel for this conversation to be brought up—you know, God forbid we start talking about writing and references and who takes what from where—I’m OK with it being me."
