During an exclusive interview, Karrine Steffans mentions that Lil Wayne had Drake help with writing his songs: “Wayne told me that Drake had written some things, for him. I was in the studio with Wayne listening to something that Drake had written ’cause Wayne can’t write like that. And he’ll be honest about it. He only writes a certain way.”
“He was very honest, I don’t write that way. I don’t know how.’ So Drake was just kind of showing him how to take his ideas and turn them into a story, and to make that story come back around. And that’s a skill. That’s a storytelling skill. [Not] everybody can do that. There was a particular song that Drake had written or helped him write that would help him do that.”
