Young Money's Drake has come out swinging against Memphis MC Kia Shine who has made claims that he owns 25% of the Toronto MC's hit single “Best I Ever Had.” In a post on Drake website, he wrote:
“There have been questions posed to me the last few days about the writing of Best I Ever Had and I figured I'd take the time to clear the air directly. I have never met Kia Shine or worked with him. I wrote the entire composition in Toronto and I borrowed one line from a Lil Wayne song that he produced the BEAT for. The claims of 25% ownership are false and for a artist to brag about splits on a song is distasteful to begin with.”
Kinfolk also responded to the confusion as he hit up the bank to deposit a fat publishing check. Speaking with Global Grind, he stated,
“Basically I did a record for Lil Wayne called "Do It For The Boy," which was on The Leak mixtape back in October. My dude DJ Absolute & Enuff was spinning the joint in NY. I gave Wayne the joint back in March of ‘08 and I had yet to hear the completed version until Absolute hit me. Actually, he was in the office with my man Daralle Jones at Atlantic. He wanted buy the song from me to use for Jahiem. I tried to contact Young Money to get paid for the original track before I made a move, but couldn't get anyone to hit me back.
