On top of it all, hip hop vocalist Tory Lanez has just admitted that he has also been a ghostwriter in the game for a minute, and is just now getting his shine. This year, he gained a lot of traction for his single, “Say It,” which blew up on the charts. While fans are waiting for more follow up music to come, he’s now being brought into the ghostwriter conversation, which may help or hurt his career. In Quentin’s case, the news has been helpful to making his name gain some momentum, but his spark has not been lit up since the reference tracks leaking.

A ghostwriter’s role in the industry is to almost become non-existent, at least within the public eye. The point of “ghost” as a prefix in the title is so that their writing goes without being known it came from their own pen, giving full credit to the person performing the lyrics. So once an artist admits to being a ghostwriter, does it help them to gain points for their pen game, or does it actually blackball them within the industry? In the case of Quentin, although he did not admit it himself, he hasn’t been popping off like one would expect a writer for someone as big as Drake would be blowing up. Ross, however, already is heavy in the public eye, so his admittance might be more in his favor. Time will tell, but there may be a curse behind being a ghostwriter.
