The Internet seems ready to hand Meek Mill the "L" after "Wanna Know," his response track to Drake's "Back to Back" disses. Most rappers have shied away from taking sides in the beef, but some of the biggest stars in the NBA and the NFL have chimed in, and for the most part, they, too, have Drake up in the series.
Right after Meek's track dropped, Kevin Durant, Oklahoma City Thunder small forward and 2014 MVP, tweeted a line of several fully-charged batteries, signaling that Drake was still way ahead. In fact, Durant's last three tweets have praised Drake in his efforts against Meek. After "Charged Up," Drizzy's first diss, Durant tweeted, "Haha the boy too good."

Durant\'s teammate, Anthony Morrow, isn\'t quite ready to declare a winner, though he thinks the Twittersphere is going too hard on Meek. He\'s also expecting Meek to come with a bigger response in the next round. When it\'s all said and done, though, Morrow hopes the two rappers can make amends and deliver another \"R.I.C.O.\"
Meek track wasn\'t bad, he coulda got Jay Z to write it and yall woulda said it was bad. — Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015
That was meek\'s version of \'charged up\' I think he has more heat in his next one.

And I really like both Meek and Drake, different types of rappers but both talented. — Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015
I\'m literally watching people who tweeted meek\'s lyrics, and @\'d him praising his album, now call him trash 2 weeks later lol that\'s crazy — Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015
With all that said \'Amen\' and \'R.I.C.O\' go hard AF. Hopefully after this they still make hits together lol — Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015
That diddy line was kinda ruthless, I expect more of that kinda stuff in his next diss — Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015
Could yall imagine Drake dissing The 1997 DMX? I\'ll pay money to see that somehow
— Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015
X woulda made a diss song 30 minutes after charged up, threatened his life and woulda had folks in Toronto looking for him lmaoo — Anthony Morrow (@MrAnthonyMorrow) July 31, 2015

Harrison Barnes, member of the title-winning Golden State Warriors, was less forgiving of Meek\'s efforts.
Man....he really took that L lol — Harrison Barnes (@hbarnes) July 31, 2015
@YEEZUSNCLA no where close. Drake spoke facts too but I was expecting more from meek — Harrison Barnes (@hbarnes) July 31, 2015
Boston Celtics point guard, Isaiah Thomas, was also disapointed in the Dreams Worth More Than Money rapper.
Dang that was disappointing smh — Isaiah Thomas (@Isaiah_Thomas) July 31, 2015
Brandon Jennings of the Detroit Pistons was hyped after Drake\'s first diss, \"Charged Up,\" which prompted a nasty exchange with Meek Mill\'s manager, who goes by \"Coon Philly\" on Twitter.

Moving to the NFL, Steelers running back Le\'Veon Bell gave Meek absolutely no chill, suggesting he would\'ve been better off having Nicki Minaj write a diss record for him.
Meek diss is TRASH!!! if Drake make another diss track, Meek won\'t ever be relevant in this \"beef\" again... — Le\'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) July 31, 2015
Nicki Minaj should\'ve just wrote Meeks diss! lol for real tho — Le\'Veon Bell (@L_Bell26) July 31, 2015
Drake, host of last year\'s ESPYs, has emerged as an icon in the sports world, and he\'s used his crossover status to his advantage in the Meek Mill beef. He used a picture of former Blue Jays player, Joe Carter, as the cover art to \"Back to Back,\" comparing his own efforts to the Blue Jays victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the 1993 World Series, thus giving Toronto back-to-back titles.
On the same track, Drake also compares himself to Michael Jordan -- \"back-to-back like I\'m Jordan, \'96, \'97.\"
Here are the 10 funniest sports memes inspired by \"Back to Back.\"
