What did What's The Dirt? say about Elliott Wilson? Jeremy Hecht defends his podcast while calling out YouTuber's "6:16 In LA" breakdown video 

YouTuber and media personality What's The Dirt? recently called out Elliott Wilson and his podcast The Bigger Picture, hosted by Wilson, Jeremy Hecht, and DJ Hed, for purporting "insane narratives" about Drake by referencing a popular fan theory that Kendrick Lamar ghostwrote for the Canadian rapper in the past. This came after Jeremy Hecht mentioned the "Poetic Justice Theory" during their recent podcast episode, which aired on October 30, 2025. For context, Drake and Kendrick Lamar collaborated on the song Poetic Justice, from the latter's 2012 debut LP, good kid, m.A.A.d city. During the podcast, Jeremy Hecht shed light on a popular online narrative that alleged Lamar wrote a portion of Drake's verse on the song. Hecht added that, according to the theory, the "poetic justice" of the song was that it was an "internal diss" to Drake that the rapper "unknowingly participated in."Following this episode's premiere, What's The Dirt?, whose real name is Matthew Smith, took to his X account to criticize Elliott Wilson. While he said he considered Wilson one of the few "GOAT" journalists in hip-hop media, he questioned why Wilson was "allowing [his] podcast to perpetuate insane narratives about Hip Hops biggest artist.""Elliott Wilson, you are one of very few journalist who deserves to be in the GOAT category. I might put Angie in there with you, Sway and I love Big Boy (pause). Why are you allowing your podcast to perpetuate insane narratives about Hip Hops biggest artist? An artist who is a staple in your own catalogue of work? You know Kendrick didn’t ghost write for Drake. It’s sad to see these sorts of narratives from someone of your pedigree."WHAT'S THE DIRT? @Whats_the_dirtLINKElliott Wilson, you are one of very few journalist who deserves to be in the GOAT category.

"Matthew, if you have a problem with things I've said you can address me directly. Ironically, it's coming from someone who pushed the craziest theory of them all (37x).

He also brought up Drake's interactions with young female celebrities, including Millie Bobby Brown and Madison Beer, in his breakdown video to support the theory.In another tweet on October 30, What's The Dirt? posted a clip of DJ Hed seemingly disagreeing with the "Poetic Justice Theory" during the latest episode of The Bigger Picture. Meanwhile, Jeremy Hecht quote-tweeted this post with a longer version of the clip, claiming that the theory could have some truth to it."You cut the clip early. Hed said there were Drake ghostwriting rumors in 2011. This makes it very possible Kendrick knew about it after their tour, meaning the bars on Poetic Justice 'I could never write my wrongs unless I write em down for real' could have been internally aimed."For those uninformed, 6:16 in LA is one of the many diss tracks that Kendrick Lamar released during his rap battle with Drake in 2024. The title of the song, released between Euphoria and meet the grahams, was a reference to Drake's penchant for timestamp songs such as 4PM in Calabasas and 8AM in Charlotte.
