Drake now holds the record for the most No. 1’s on Billboard’s Rap Songs chart (he has 11), but he’s got some major ex-girlfriend issues to work through before he can relax and celebrate. Drizzy’s former flame Ericka Lee, who says she’s the mystery woman heard at the beginning of the song “Marvin’s Room,” is suing Drake for recognition as co-writer of the song, damages and a share of profits. Lee alleges she has a text message from Drake that reads, “U basically made that song,” but after the pair split and she tried to seek royalties, things got ugly and she had to hire a lawyer. Drake does credit Lee as the song’s “Syren Lyric Muse,” but it would seem that shout-out just isn’t good enough for her (or a spell-checker, for that matter).
