Daylyt put to rest the widespread rumor that he ghostwrote Drake’s diss track ‘Back to Back’ against Meek Mill. In a candid talk on HipHopDX’s ‘The Bigger Picture,’ the West Coast rapper was clear: ‘No, I did not write ‘Back to Back.”
However, Daylyt shared that he could have played a part in inspiring the track. He recalled telling Drake he needed to ‘drop some shit back to back,’ which might have sparked the concept for the song. This suggestion turned into the record we now know.
When host DJ Hed asked if Daylyt had helped Drake with other songs, Daylyt chose to remain tight-lipped: ‘I won’t speak on anything else. Y’all gotta talk to my agents and stuff,’ he said.
Rumors of Daylyt’s involvement in ‘Back to Back’ were also debunked by Kendrick Lamar, who possibly referenced the speculation in a line from ‘Like That.’ Daylyt commented, ‘Knowing Kendrick and how he raps, he’s very sneaky so I don’t know if he meant it or not.’
Daylyt previously addressed ghostwriting rumors in his track ‘Lyt Skin.’ He threw various shots at Drake, hinting that he did a lot of uncredited work. He rapped about being a ‘handyman’ and a ‘Hamburger Helper’ in the industry, emphasizing his frustration for not getting the credit he felt he deserved.
Despite the past drama, Daylyt revealed that he and Drake are on good terms now. ‘I just talked to Drake not too long ago,’ he shared. Their recent conversation wasn’t about past issues but rather a potential future rap battle.
Daylyt’s humor shone through as he joked about not mentioning any ‘little n-ggas’ he might battle. His playful comment kept the conversation light, showing there’s no bad blood between him and Drake.
In the end, Daylyt did not pen ‘Back to Back,’ but his influence might have helped shape one of hip hop’s most iconic diss tracks.
