Thanks to his latest hit, we all know Drake wants to be successful. And now thanks to his latest controversy, we all know what the young rapper doesn't want...and that is to share. But Drizzy's self-interest only goes so far seeing that the emcee freely shares creative shine with other hip hop stars. Sharing the publishing spotlight is where the Canadian native apparently draws the line.

Drake has responded to Kia Shine's "25 percent ownership" accusations regarding his hit Best I Ever Had, stating that the claims made by the Krispy rapper are completely fabricated. Drizzy took to his daily blog to set the record straight.

"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," he wrote Thursday (September 17) night. "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 an artist to brag about splits on a song is distasteful to begin with."

As previously reported by Yo! Raps, Shine is claiming that Best I Ever Had is the descendent of his brainchild Do It For The Boy, a track he did for Lil Wayne. The Southern rapper is alleging ownership of the Billboard chart topper on the grounds that he masterminded the song's production and a portion of the hook.

As of press time, Lil Wayne had yet to comment on the brewing beef.
