Two days after Drake's "Charged Up," Meek Mill will appear on Funk Flex's HOT 97 radio show. Drizzy broke his silence last night by dropping a stinging diss track on his OVO Sound Radio show on Apple Music's Beats 1.
It seems Meek's response will come courtesy of Funk Flex, the New York DJ who, since Meek's initial disclosure, leaked a reference track to Drake's "10 Bands," recorded by suspected ghostwriter Quentin Miller.
Meek first called out Drake, and revealed Miller's identity, late last Tuesday night (July 21) on Twitter. The next night, Flex released Miller's version of "10 Bands."
On Friday (July 24), Miller spoke for the first time, dismissing any ghostwriting accusations as absurd, via a lengthy tumblr post.
Flex still wasn't buying it, though, as he claimed to have three more reference tracks, including one to "Know Yourself," another hit off If You're Reading This It's Too Late. "Greatness don't use reference tracks," he wrote on Twitter.

Then Drake responded with a new track, "Charged Up," that's flipped the script and put the ball back in Meek's court. Most of Drake's soft-spoken lyrics are subliminal, but there are several undeniable shots taken at the Philly Dreamchaser, including a few aimed at Meek's romance with Drake's Young Money labelmate, Nicki Minaj: "No woman ever had me star struck / Or was able to tell me to get my bars up / I'm charged up"
And:
"Rumor has it I either f*cked her or I never could / But 'rumor has it' hasn't done you n*ggas any good." Seems like Meek didn't feel too threatened, but we get the feeling that a real, rapped, response is imminent. We've officially got a beef on our hands.

Drake also squeezed in a little dig at Flex, echoing the line Kendrick Lamar opened his notorious "Control" verse with, though replacing 'Funk Flex' with another prominent NY DJ -- "Need DJ Clue to drop a bomb on it."
Since "Charged Up" has shattered the Twittersphere and flooded Meek's IG with emojis of fully-charged batteries and electric plugs, Flex announced Meek Mill will be be appearing on his radio show tomorrow, July 26, at 7 PM.

Will he drop a response track? A freestyle? Regardless, we'll hear Meek speak on the beef for the first time and it probably won't be via social media.
Drake warned him: "I stay silent 'cause we at war and I'm very patient / 6 God is watching, I just hope you're prepared to face him"
Is Meek up to the task? Find out tomorrow night.
