WOW!!! Meek mill replies drake's 'back to back'

Over a week after Meek Mill first called out Drake for allegedly having a ghostwriter, the Philly rapper has responded with his own diss record, "Wanna Know". The track follows two records from Drake — "Charged Up" and "Back to Back Freestyle" — that put Meek's back against the wall. Everyone expected a response from Meek Mill earlier this week on Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex's show that never transpired. Meek Mill and his team began dropping hints this afternoon that the track would finally be released tonight, and on Flex's show no less. Now that Meek has responded, the biggest beef in hip hop is in full swing. The song also includes a snippet of one of Quentin Miller's reference tracks for Drake and Meek adlibs, "Milli Vanilli ass nigga!" Elsewhere in "Wanna Know" the Philly rapper spits: "Now when that shit went down with Chris, you wrote a check In New Orleans with my chain I get respect (you a fraud) So what that tell me? You a pu-ssy and a fan Said they run with you we the shooters at your neck "I just wanna know, if you ain't write that running through the six shit Tell us who the fuck Quentin out here running through the six with?" .....#primevibes

So far, U.S. intelligence officials have reviewed the document and say they believe it is authentic, based on the language used and a series of 'unique' markings.

Director General of the DSS, Lawal Daura is an APC member – PDP

Press statement from the PDP…The National Working Committee (NWC) ofthe Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at itsmeeting today thoroughly considered anumber of very important issues pertainingto the state of affairs in our nation.The NWC brings to the attention ofPresident Muhammadu Buhari to somedisturbing development in the polity which,if not nipped in the bud, might significantlyaffect our democracy and stability as anation negatively, and that is the growingand unwarranted intrusion of some over-zealous security operatives on issuesbordering purely on politics.In particular, the NWC wishes to draw the attentionof the President to the continued intimidation,harassment as well as the hounding, arrest anddetention of Electoral Officers and members ofelection tribunals by operatives of the Department ofState Services (DSS) in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and otherPDP states.The NWC notes that this unfortunate developmenthas been the case since the appointment of the newDirector General of the DSS, Alhaji Lawal MusaDaura, whom we learnt was a critical intelligencestakeholder of the APC as a card-carrying member ofthat party during the campaigns. This is ungodly andunacceptable.We do hope that in his new job, the Director Generalof DSS is not mixing issues on the APC presidentialcandidate and the President of the Federal Republicof Nigeria, hence the need for Mr. President to reinhim in as the development is capable of eroding thecherished independence of the judiciary and theelectoral commission, a sine qua non for a viriledemocracy, which guarantees our unity and stabilityas a nation.Similarly, we urge Mr. President to take a critical lookat the issue of the appointment of Mrs. Amina Zakarias Acting Chairman of INEC for which our party hasseverally raised some salient issues why she is notsuitable for that position. It is incontrovertible thatMrs. Zakari by virtue of her blood relationship withMr. President cannot preside over the affairs of anIndependent National Electoral Commission.Nigeria belongs to all of us irrespective of political,religious and ethnic affiliation and as a responsiblepolitical party we shall not fold our hands and watchwhile our nation drift along dangerous line.Furthermore, the NWC commends and congratulatesthe PDP caucuses in the Senate and the House ofRepresentatives on the smooth emergence of theMinority leadership in the National Assembly. Wenote that the process was without any interferenceswhatsoever from the leadership of our great party inkeeping with the dictates of the independence of thelegislature.Finally, the NWC deliberated on the state of the partyin Ekiti State and resolved that it only recognizes thestate Exco led by Chief Idowu Faleye. The NWChowever summons all critical stakeholders in theparty administration in Ekiti State to a meeting withthe national leadership on the issues in the statechapter.Signed:Prince Uche SecondusActing National Chairman ...Gbasibe.com
