A timeline of Drake's biggest hip hop feuds as he disses Hot 97 and Funkmaster Flex

Meek Mill accused Drake of using a ghostwriter to pen his lyricsGettyDrake is undeniably at the forefront of hip hop culture at the moment so it is no surprise there are many keen to tear the successful rapper down. The One Dance hitmaker has found himself at the centre of yet another feud with New York radio station Hot 97 and Funkmaster Flex in his line of fire.
The Canadian rapper delivered a very direct message to the station and its most prominent DJ while on-stage at New York City's Madison Square Garden on his Summer Sixteen tour. Drizzy told the sold-out crowd: "F**k Hot 97. Fire Funk Flex and then I'll do your show." Flex confidently replied via Twitter: "Hahahaha!!! 7pm Sat I got a story to tell! @Drake u gonna learn!"
Drake's outburst may seem random to many but it actually stems from another feud. In July 2015, Drake was embroiled in a highly-publicised lyrical battle with Meek Mill, who accused the Young Money star of using a ghostwriter. Flex quite vocally showed his support for Mill in the feud which explains Drake's comments towards the DJ.
Hot 97 may have also fallen out of favour with Drake after DJ Ebro Darden made up a lie that Eminem was planning on recording a diss track with the rapper.
Drake with his polished image and mainstream appeal seems like an unlikely participant in rap beefs but the chart-topper has found himself in the middle of some of the biggest music feuds in recent years.
As his latest spat rages on, IBTimes UK looks back at Drake's history of rap feuds.

Meek Mill

It all kicked off in July 2015 when Meek Mill, rapper and boyfriend of Nicki Minaj, accused Drake of using a ghostwriter. He tweeted: "Stop comparing me to Drake too... He don't write his own raps! That's why he ain't tweet my album because we found out!"

Listen to Drake's Back To Back diss track:Drake hit back with the diss track Charged Up which prompted Meek Mill to respond with Wanna Know. Mill's effort was poorly received, in fact ridiculed, and Drake proved to be the ultimate winner with his record Back To Back, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Funkmaster Flex's involvement came when he gave weight to Meek Mill's ghostwriting claims. The DJ aired what is said to be the original version of Drake's 10 Bandz recorded by ghostwriter Quentin Miller.
