Is Hip-Hop's Great Canadian MC Drake a fraud? Reports of rapper Kia Shine ghostwriting his "Best I ever Had" hit might stall his debut

Kia Shine from twitter: "maan i am not a hater, if someone is blessed with something i commed them and encourage, not discourage," he wrote earlier this week. "for all the nob believers here is the pic taken from Sept.10th's Bm1 awards in NY where I won 3 awards for my publishing share of 'BEST I EVER HAD'...this message is for all the non-believers YES kia shine OWNS 25% OF THE DRAKE SONG 'THE BEST I EVER HAD' 3 BMI AWARDS FOR THE SONG GOING #1 ON 3 BILLBOARD CHARTS. GO BUY HIS EP TODAY! MY FAMILY APPRECIATES IT! ... its all there! can't make sh*t like this up (Kia Shine's Twitter)

"They sampled a record that I did for Lil Wayne, called 'Do it for the Boy.' I wrote the hook and the beat for that track," he said in an interview today. "After they heard that and made the Drake song, they settled out for 25 percent." It was also reported in the new Billboard Magazine that Nakia Coleman aka Kia Shine was indeed the writer of the hit song, "Best I Ever Had". Kia Shine who has been on top of the charts with his own song, "Krispy" which peaked at number 66 on the Billboard charts, is also credited with signing and promoting hip hop artist, Yo Gotti.

So the Internets are abuzz with claims that Kia Shine ghostwrote Drake's 'Best I Ever Had.' Although he does own a portion of one of rap?s biggest hits, it appears to be because he produced the original Young Money joint that inspired it. As you can hear in the opening verse of Lil Wayne's "Do It For The Boy", Drake lifted the melody and a few words from Weezy. So Mr. Carter and Kia get a piece of the pie. BMI awards and all. That's how the music biz works, kids. (Rap Radar)
