The incriminating post is still live in Drake's Instagram.

By now we all know the story. Last July, Meek Mill called out Drake on Twitter, accusing him of using ghostwriters to pen his raps. Now, in an unexpected development, it appears that Drake may have exposed his own reference tracks on Instagram over eight months before Meek leveled his accusations.

At the end of of October 2014, a few days after Future released his groundbreaking tape MonsterDrake showed his support by indicating that he listening to by posting an image of mixtape's tracklist from his iTunes. "On the plane with my brother @future new tape!!! 'I turnt the whole world up now they wanna treat me like an outcast or something' Future Hendrix Fire Marshall Future The Wizard."

Above Monster on Drake's iTunes appear to be a pair of reference tracks, titled "1daQ Noel Ref 1" and "6PM In New York Noel Ref 3." 1da likely refers to Boi-1da, Q to Quentin Miller, and Noel to Drake's engineer Noel Cadastre.

As DJ Akademiks points out, the post in question is still live on Drake's Instagram. View it below.
