(AllHipHop News) Drake has a serious problem on his hands over in the U.K.
Grime rapper Wiley trashed Drake earlier today, claiming he’s blocking the release of a record with Popcaan and Nicki Minaj.
Popcaan is an artist on Drake’s OVO Sound imprint, while he and Nicki Minaj were label mates on Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint.

The bad blood between Drake and Wiley seems to have started when the Grime star accused Drake of being a “culture vulture” back in April.
Wiley’s comments appeared to have rankled the rapper, who replied during an interview on BBC 1xtra.
“It’s Wiley that said that I’ll just say his name because that was some goofy s##t,” Drake said. “But yeah, I just didn’t like that. I was like, ‘Dude what are you talking about?”
Wiley, real name Richard Kylea Cowie Jr., is no ordinary rapper. He’s a legendary rap star, who is largely considered the “Godfather of Grime.”
In 2017 he was named one of the UK’s most influential black musicians.
According to Wiley, Drake is no longer welcome on U.K. soil
“@Drake Suck ya mum don’t come back to England,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
The high-profile criticism is a bad book for Drake, whose critically-acclaimed series “Top Boy” is slated to make its premiere on September 13.
