Drake may have subtly addressed rumors of an ongoing feud with rapper Mo-G earlier this week, but it appears that the duo’s feud is far from over after the Toronto-based rapper took to Instagram on Friday to post a snippet of an alleged track off of Drake’s impending Views From The 6 album.
Mo-G made headlines earlier this week after he took to Instagram to blast Drake and his OVO Sound crew for reportedly failing to pay him after he helped to pen “ Billboard hits” for Drake, further fueling ghostwriting rumors for the Toronto-native following his explosive feud with Meek Mill in 2015, MTV reports.

“Have you ever ever heard in the history of hip-hop a man that gives away his creativity and helps make Billboard hits, but doesn’t get paid a dollar or get one credit for it and is here stuck in the ‘hood?” Mo-G asks followers in a now-deleted Instagram video before calling Drake’s manager and OVO founder Oliver El-Khatib a “culture vulture,” Hot New Hip Hop reports.
Despite Drake having given Mo-G a shout-out in his “Summer Sixteen” track, in which he raps, “Mo-G with the dance moves / Ave Boy with the dance moves,” Mo-G further blasted Drake by posting several screengrabs of an alleged conversation between himself and Drake to Instagram in which the rapper asks his fellow Toronto-native for a vocal sample.

Similarly, Mo-G also alleges that Oliver El-Khatib asked him for “new hooks new flows and bars and s***” for Drake ahead of the rapper’s Views From The 6 release, taking to Instagram to explain to fans, “This is a tittle [sic] of a song on views. After I did this s*** Oliver put me in the studio and He said they need new hooks new flows and bars and s***…I didn’t wanna be on these n***** album cuz I’m not a slave only slave of Allah not the fake a** ‘6god’ it only gets deeper. Stay playing with me little forest hill creature,” Hot New Hip Hop reports.
While Drake seemingly responded to Mo-G’s accusations with his own cryptic Instagram post earlier this week, it looks like Mo-G is further aiming to diss Drake by attempting to leak a snippet of a rumored track from Drake’s highly anticipated Views From The 6 album, which is set to drop sometime in April.
Mo-G took to Instagram on Friday to share a video of himself explaining his decision to delete his previous posts regarding his feud with Drake and the OVO crew before dispelling rumors suggesting that he was paid $12,000 for his musical contributions. Shortly after, Mo-G then uploaded a new video to Instagram claiming to have leaked a snippet of a new song, titled “These Days,” from Drake’s VFT6 .

Despite Mo-G’s claims, fans were quick to point out that the alleged leaked snippet from Drake is actually a cover of Jackson Browne’s record, “These Days,” with one fan noting that the song clips have “been out since 2011,” Rap Direct reports. Mo-G has since removed the “leaked snippet” post from his Instagram, however, his video regarding rumors of a $12,000 payout from OVO is still visible on his page.
